PRODUCT FAMILIARIZATION AND READINESS
The MD1250 Tactical Inflatable Side Pouch LPs are used in right/left pairs,
and can be attached to an LE belt, or integrated PALS webbing and MOLLE
vest. Right-hand LPs have the letter R on the attachment webbing straps
(Figure 2); left-hand LPs have the letter L.
Figure 1 shows the front of a right-hand LP, locating the upper zipper (1),
the elastic storage pocket (2), the
automatic/manual conversion cap
and lanyard (3) stowed in the elastic
pocket, and the manual/automatic
hydrostatic inflator (4).
Figure 2 shows the back of a
right-hand LP, Velcro® tab (1), the
two attachment webbing straps (2),
the locking pull-the-dot snaps (3),
and the beaded manual inflation
handle (4).
Figure 3 shows the open LP, the
unfolded inflation cell with printed
folding guidelines (1), the oral
inflation tube (2), the Inspection
Record tag (3), and the Velcro® side
attachment straps (4).
To become more familiar with the
LP and its component parts:
1. Open the zippers completely,
unfold the inflation cell, and
place the LP on a clean, flat
surface with the hydrostatic
inflator face down (Figure 3).
2. Check and ensure the ring
beneath the oral inflator
tube mouthpiece is turned
counterclockwise and the
mouthpiece locked (Figure 4).
3. Turn the LP over and visually
inspect the status indicator
on the hydrostatic inflator
(Figure 5). 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.
4. Visually inspect the expiry date on the hydrostatic inflator (Figure 5). If
the expiry date has passed, replace the inflator – see Re-arming the LP.
5. Repack the LP – see Repacking the LP.
