INFLATING YOUR INFLATABLE PFD
It is recommended that the following procedures be followed to

within 5 seconds.

2. Automatic Backup Inflation (MD2017 only)
Inflation will occur automatically within 10 seconds after the
inflator is immersed in water. The water-sensing bobbin will
disintegrate, triggering a spring-loaded plunger, which punctures
the CO
cylinder (Fig. 10 and 11) to inflate the Inflatable PFD.
