INTRODUCTION
This manual provides instructions and guidelines for safely using and
maintaining Mustang Survival MD1250 Tactical Inflatable Side Pouch Life
Preservers (LPs).
The MD1250 LP provides flotation capability with minimum bulk or
interference using separate, independently operated left and right LPs.
The MD1250 LP has been designed specifically for easy integration with
law enforcement (LE) belts, and body armor and tactical vests, including
integrated Pouch Attachment Ladder System (PALS) webbing and Modular
Lightweight Load-carrying Equipment (MOLLE) vests.
The MD1250 LP inflates automatically on submersion using a manual/
automatic hydrostatic inflator that significantly reduces the potential for
accidental inflation due to humidity, sea spray, or wet storage.
When the hydrostatic inflator is submerged in more than four inches in
water the water inlet valve opens letting water contact the water-sensitive
element. The water-sensitive element releases a stainless steel coil spring
that drives a needle into the end of the CO
2
cylinder, puncturing it and
allowing CO
2
to fill the inflation cell.
Each MD1250 LP can be inflated manually by pulling the beaded manual
inflation handle. The LP may also be converted to manual-only operation
with the included automatic/manual conversion cap.
Backup or top-up manual inflation or buoyancy reduction can be
accomplished using the oral inflator tube.
In-water performance tests with the MD1250 LPs attached to a typical body
armor vest demonstrate the ability of the LPs to provide effective flotation
and buoyancy.
Due to variances in local configuration, full gear in-water testing is strongly
recommended to validate performance.
When worn, used, and serviced according to the instructions in this manual,
Mustang Survival MD1250 Tactical Inflatable Side Pouch LPs can greatly
increase a user's chance of survival in the water.
