USAGE BELOW FREEZING [0°C / 32°F]
As temperatures approach freezing, your flotation device will provide
less buoyancy and will inflate more slowly. At temperatures near
freezing, the device should be worn partially inflated with the CO
cylinder to ensure that some buoyancy is immediately available to you
if you fall overboard. The oral inflator can then be used to adequately
top up the flotation device after CO
CAUTION: DO NOT FULLY INFLATE THE DEVICE ORALLY AND THEN ACTIVATE THE CO
CYLINDER. THE RESULTING OVERPRESSURE COULD SERIOUSLY DAMAGE THE DEVICE
RESULTING IN LOSS OF FLOTATION.
Inflatable flotation devices are not recommended for use in
temperatures below freezing.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
It is important to care for and maintain your inflatable PFD in order to
ensure it will perform as designed when you need it. We suggest you
keep a record of the inspections performed on your flotation device
– using permanent ink on the Care and Storage label below the oral
inflation tube. If you are not confident in the self-inspection and
servicing of your inflatable PFD in accordance with these instructions,
contact Mustang Survival customer service.
You are required to check this flotation device:
• Before each use (component inspection)
• Every six months (leak test and thorough visual examination)
• Annually (suggested at the beginning of each boating season)
INSPECTING YOUR INFLATABLE PFD
Before Each Use:
• Examine the single point status indicator ensuring it is green. If the
indicator is red, your PFD needs to be re-armed (see "Re-arming
Your PFD (MD2015)" on page 7 or see "Re-arming Your PFD
(MD2017)" on page 9).
• Ensure the manual pull-tab is accessible.
• Visually examine your inflatable PFD for damage or excessive
abrasion, wear, tear and/or contamination. If any item shows
signs of damage, perform tasks listed in "Every Six (6) Months"
inspection details.
