Care and attention should be taken to ensure that
when the device is used in these types of conditions,
auto-inflation does not occur inadvertantly.
If this Inflatable PFD (MD2012) should inflate prematurely,
a re-arm kit (MA2012) is required to re-arm the device.
Important: The Inflatable PFD should be re-armed
according to the instructions (Re-arming Your PFD as
Manual with Automatic Backup (MD2012).
The automatic inflator bobbin should be replaced at
least once every twelve months.
Re-arming Your PFD as Manual with Automatic
Backup (MD2012)
See Fig. 15 for referenced parts in each step.
Step 1: Unpack or open the life vest so that the automatic
inflator is visible.
Step 2: Remove empty gas CO2 cylinder by firmly
rotating cylinder counterclockwise. Discard cylinder.
Step 3: Remove clear cap by turning counterclockwise.
Step 4: Remove bobbin (yellow) from cap or housing
unit. If the bobbin is used, damaged, or more than 4
years old, discard it. Store unused bobbins in a cool dry
area when not in use. Check the housing to be sure it is
clear and dry.
Note: The bobbin (yellow) body may remain in the
housing or in the cap assembly when you remove the
cap. The bobbin body must be removed prior to assembly.
Step 5: Check the date on the bobbin in the rearm
kit. The date should not be over four (4) years from
today’s date.
Step 6: IMPORTANT! Bobbin (yellow) must be installed
into the Housing (see Fig 15), white side down facing
away from the inflator towards the cap (clear), aligning
the slots on the bobbin with the ridges inside the
threaded housing. The bobbin will slide in easily if
installed correctly.
