Special Considerations For Automatic Devices (Md2017); Deflating The Inflatable Pfd - Mustang Survival MD2015 Manuel D'utilisation

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR AUTOMATIC DEVICES (MD2017)

The Inflatable PFD might not be armed when needed, either
knowingly or unknowingly. Premature automatic inflation causes
several risks that you must address to avoid drowning. Much less
common but also important are:
1. Inflation when stored in a tight space could damage the PFD
2. The PFD could inflate when you are in an awkward place or
position
Premature inflation may occur in certain conditions, including when
the device is subjected to: heavy splashing, high humidity, heavy fog,
and heavy rain.
Care and attention should be taken to ensure that when the device
is used in these types of conditions, auto-inflation does not occur
prematurely.
If this PFD should inflate prematurely, a re-arm kit (MA2014) is
required to re-arm the device.
THE INFLATABLE PFD SHOULD BE RE-ARMED ACCORDING TO THE INSTRUCTIONS
(SEE "RE-ARMING YOUR PFD (MD2017)" ON PAGE 9).

DEFLATING THE INFLATABLE PFD

1. To deflate the Inflatable PFD, reverse the oral-inflation tube dust
cap and insert it into the valve. The dust cap will not lock in the
deflate position so it is necessary to hold it in place (Fig. 5).
2. Gently squeeze the Inflatable PFD until all air or gas has been
expelled. To avoid damage do not wring or twist the Inflatable
PFD. Put the inflation tube dust cap back in its stowed position on
the oral inflation tube (Fig. 6).
