RE-ARMING THE MD3196
CAUTION: The LP must be deflated before being re-armed.
NOTE: An MA7214-10 re-arming kit is required for this procedure.
1. Open both
zippers, wipe
off any water,
and place the
LP on a smooth,
flat surface with
the inflator
facing the user.
2. Reach under
the cover and carefully pull the manual/
automatic inflator assembly out from under
the cover fabric.
3. Hold the CO
2
cylinder through the fabric,
insert the metal key between the black
locking ring and inflator cap, and turn the
key counter-clockwise (Figure 9).
4. Turn the black locking ring counter-
clockwise, and lift off (and discard) the
yellow inflator cap (Figure 10).
5. Elongate the sealing ring by squeezing it,
and remove (and discard) the inflator body
through the ring (Figure 11).
6. Visually Inspect the sealing ring for cracks,
debris, or other damage. If damage is
present, remove the LP from active service
for further assessment.
7. Ensure that the status indicator on the new inflator body is green, and
the expiry date has not passed (Figure 12). If the status indicator is red,
or the expiry date has passed, acquire a new inflator body.
CAUTION: Do not turn the small center shaft of the inflator body.
8. Insert the new inflator body, with the CO
2
cylinder pointing upward, inside the LP
(Figure 12), and let the sealing ring rest on
the adapter around the four lugs.
9. Hold the CO
2
cylinder through the fabric
of the LP, and position the new inflator
cap with the valve pointing to the right
ensuring the cap is properly seated on the
inflator body and sealing ring (Figure 13).
