WHAT IS AN INFLATABLE PFD?
While traditional PFDs are inherently buoyant, inflatable PFDs, rely
entirely on inflation for buoyancy. Uninflated, the Inflatable PFD is a
comfortable slim collar that can be inflated at any time with a 33-gram
CO
2
gas cylinder. The Inflatable PFD is designed to offer maximum
mobility with minimum bulk. The Inflatable PFD (MD3081 and MD3082)
can be inflated either manually by jerking a pull-tab, or orally (by
mouth). The Inflatable PFD (MD3083 and MD3084) can be inflated either
automatically during water immersion, manually by jerking a pull-tab, or
orally by mouth. It is recommended that you familiarize yourself with the
procedures outlined in INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE (p. 2).
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
This manual supplies instructional, maintenance and safety information
for all models (MD3081, MD3082, MD3083, and MD3084) unless
specified otherwise. The model number is listed on the underside label.
Congratulations on your Inflatable PFD purchase.
Component Inspection Instructions
1) Examine the service indicator through the window panel (Figs. 1 and
2). Ensure the service indicator is green. If the service indicator is red,
the mechanism has been fired or is incorrectly fitted (see Re-arming
Your PFD (for your model)).
NOTE: The service indicator must be green before proceeding.
2) Undo the Velcro™ strips along both sides of the PFD.
