If this PFD should inflate prematurely, a re-arm kit (MA7202) is
required to re-arm the device.
IMPORTANT: The Inflatable PFD should be re-armed according
to the instructions (Re-arming Your PFD (MD3083 and
MD3084) p. 10).
Deflating the Inflatable PFD
1) To deflate the Inflatable PFD, 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. 6).
2) Gently squeeze the Inflatable PFD until all air or gas has been
expelled. To avoid damage; do not wring or twist the Inflatable PFD.
Put the inflation tube dust cap back in its stowed position on the
oral inflation tube (Fig. 7).
3) Examine the service indicator (Figs. 1 and 2). If the service indicator
is red, the mechanism has been fired or is incorrectly fitted and the
inflator requires service (see Re-arming your PFD (for your model)).
NOTE: The service indicator must be green before proceeding.
4) Your device is ready to be repacked (see Repacking p. 13).
