PRODUCT FAMILIARIZATION AND READINESS
MD3196
Figure 1 shows the left lobe (as worn) of the MD3196 LP with the oral
inflator tube assembly-A, and the right lobe of the LP with the manual/
automatic inflator assembly-B and the orange whistle-C.
To determine the
operational status of the
inflator examine the status
indicator through access
point A as shown in Figure
2:
• Green indicates the
inflator is armed and
the LP is ready for use.
• Red indicates the inflator has been fired and must be re-armed before
the LP can be used – see Re-arming.
To become more familiar with the LP components:
1. Open both zippers completely, and place the LP on a smooth, flat
surface with the oral tube facing the user.
2. Ensure the oral inflator dust cap is in the
stowed position (Figure 3).
3. Visually inspect the expiry date on the inflator
(Figure 4). If the expiry date has passed,
replace the inflator – see Re-arming.
NOTE: If the expiry date has passed, Mustang
Survival recommends water testing the LP to
become familiar with LP functionality.
4. Repack the LP – see Repacking.
