MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
Check the following at the intervals listed below. If in doubt, contact
Mustang Survival customer service.
BEFORE EACH WEAR
See Inspecting Components, (p. 6) for instructions. If you see any
signs of damage, perform the Every 2 months tests below.
EVERY 2 MONTHS
The following tests are suggested every 2 months at minimum or
whenever you see signs of damage to your flotation device. Perform
these tests more often if the flotation device is exposed to potential
damage or used in extreme conditions.
LEAK TEST
Orally inflate your flotation device until firm and let stand 6 hours
minimum. As long as your flotation device has been inflated orally
(not by CO
cylinder ) it should hold its firmness for this length of
2
time. If this is not the case, your flotation device is leaking and should
be replaced. If your Inflatable flotation device leaks, contact Mustang
Survival customer service. Deflate (see Deflating, p. 11).
THOROUGH VISUAL EXAMINATION:
See Inspecting Components (p. 6).
AFTER EACH INFLATION
Deflate and re-arm, as described in Re-arming (p. 12).
ANNUALLY
Perform the following at the beginning of each boating season, after
inflation, or whenever the integrity of the flotation device is in doubt:
1. Check all components for dirt or corrosion. Clean or replace, as
necessary. See Inspecting components (p. 6).
2. Visually examine your flotation device for damage or excessive
abrasion, wear, tear, or contamination. Particular attention must
be paid to the stitching, straps and hardware. If in doubt, contact
Mustang Survival customer service for evaluation and/or servicing.
