Special Considerations For Inflatable Devices; Deflating The Inflatable Pfd - Mustang Survival MD3153 V.F.I. Manuel Du Propriétaire

note: oral inflation may cause the inflatable PfD to
break-out suddenly (loudly) if any of the zippers are
closed.

The Inflatable PFD might not be armed when needed, either knowingly
or unknowingly. Inadvertent inflation causes several risks that
you must address to avoid drowning. Much less common but also
important are:
1) Double inflation (Co 2 cylinder inflation after full oral inflation)
could damage the Inflatable PFD,
2) Inflation when stored in a tight space could damage the Inflatable
PFD, and
3) The Inflatable PFD could inflate when you are in an awkward
place or position.
If this Inflatable PFD should inflate inadvertently, a re-arm kit
(MA7214) is required to re-arm the device.
iMPoRtant: the inflatable PfD should be re-armed
according to the instructions (see Re-arming Your PfD,
p. 9).

Deflating tHe inflatable PfD

1) To deflate the Inflatable PFD, reverse the oral-inflation tube dust
cap and insert it into the valve or depress valve with fingertip. The
dust cap will not lock in the deflate position so it is necessary to
hold it in place (Fig. 6).

ii. locate the oral inflation
tube by opening the
wearer's left front panel of
the Inflatable PFD. Remove
the dust cap from the end of
the oral tube and blow into
the tube until the Inflatable
PFD is fully inflated.
