RePaCking
If your Inflatable PFD has been used and/or the hydrostatic inflator
replaced, always inflate through the oral tube and check that it stays
inflated at least overnight. With the dust cap in the top of the oral
tube, gently squeeze the Inflatable PFD until all air or gas has been
expelled (Fig. 6). Do not wring or twist the Inflatable PFD. Put the oral
tube dust cap back in its stowed position on the oral tube (Fig. 7). let
the Inflatable PFD dry before packing.
iMPoRtant: ensure all air is removed before repacking.
before following the repacking sequence, be sure to
properly re-arm your inflatable PfD, (see Re-arming
Your PfD, p. 9).
