10. While pressing firmly onto the inflator
body, turn the black locking ring
clockwise to the locked position, and
pull on the inflator cap to ensure
it is locked onto the inflator body
(Figure 14).

new inflator cap is green, the pull-
to-inflate lanyard is present, and the
locking ring is locked.
12. To test for leakage, inflate the LP
using the oral inflator tube – see Inflating. To avoid damage to the LP
do not use a compressor (the maximum pressure should not exceed 2
psi). After two hours there should be no noticeable drop in pressure in
the LP.
13. Deflate and repack the LP – see Deflating, and Repacking.
