How To Test Your Pfd Using The Manual Inflator - Mustang Survival MD6254 Guide D'utilisation

HOW TO TEST YOUR PFD USING THE MANUAL INFLATOR

1. To test your inflatable PFD using manual inflation, you will need
your fully armed PFD, and the re-arm kit approved for your PFD.
2. Put on your PFD.
3. Actuate the inflation system by jerking firmly on the pull handle.
Your PFD should fully inflate within 5 seconds.
4. Get into shallow water, just deep enough that you can stand with
your head above the surface.
5. See if your PFD will float you on your back or just slightly back
of vertical. In a relaxed floating position, verify that your mouth is
well above the water's surface. Note the effect of where you hold
your legs on how you float.
6. Get out of the water and remove your PFD. Completely deflate
the PFD using the oral inflator (p. 17).
7. Let the PFD dry thoroughly, Re-arm (p. 19), and Repack
(p. 24) the PFD.
