Deflating the Buoyancy
Cell
To deflate the buoyancy cell, reverse the
oral-inflation tube dust cap and insert it into
the valve or depress valve with fingertip. The
dust cap will not lock in the deflate position
so it is necessary to hold it in place (Fig.5).
Gently squeeze the cell until all air or gas
has been expelled. Put the inflation tube
dust cap back in its normal position on the
oral inflation tube (Fig.1d).
Repacking Your Inflatable PFD
Before repacking, completely deflate the inflation cell. Force excess
air out through the inflation tube (Fig. 5). Do not wring cell. Put the
inflation tube cap back in the normal stowed position
(Fig. 1d).
Note: Before following the repacking sequence, be sure to
properly rearm your inflatable PFD .
Warning: Ensure the lanyard and pull tab are not twisted around the
inflator or cylinder before re-packing. Ensure attachment webbing,
between the bladder and pouch, is not twisted before re-packing.
1) Lay the bladder and pouch out on a flat surface with the bladder’s
inflator and oral tube facing the flat surface (Fig.6a).
2) Fold the bladder into thirds using the dotted lines printed on the
bladder. Start with Fold #1, then Fold #2. Ensure the tie tapes and
whistle are folded in (Fig.6a).
3) Starting at the top of bladder, make your next fold at the dotted line
screened on the bladder (Fig 6b, Fold #3). Fold on the next dotted line
(Fold #4). Continue folding the bladder toward the pouch (Fig.6c).
