MAINTAINING THE LP
Before each use, review the Readiness Checklist – see Product Familiarization
and Readiness.
NOTE: After each inflation, re-arm the MD1250 LP as soon as possible.
After each use, deflate, re-arm, and repack the LP – see:
• Deflating the LP
• Re-arming the LP
• Repacking the LP
Prior to Use
Visually inspect the LP between outings:
• Ensure the LP is properly armed.
• Ensure the LP is free of rips, tears, or holes.
• Ensure all seams on the LP are securely sewn.
• Ensure the fabric, straps, and hardware on the LP are free from any
defects.
CAUTION: To avoid accidental inflation, do not allow the manual/automatic
hydrostatic inflator to submerge in water.
General Tests and Inspections
Record all inspections in permanent ink on the Inspection Record tag inside
the LP (Figure 20).
After each test or inspection, repack the LP – see Repacking the LP.
Perform the following inspections annually, after each inflation, or
whenever the integrity of the LP is in doubt.
• Visually inspect all components for dirt or corrosion, and clean or
replace as necessary.
• Visually inspect the LP for damage or excessive abrasion, wear, fabric
tears, or contamination. Particular attention must be paid to the
stitching, straps, and hardware.
• Visually inspect the status indicator on the hydrostatic inflator. Green
indicates that the inflator is armed and ready for use. Red indicates that
the inflator has been fired and must be replaced – see Re-arming the LP.
