gas cylinder. The Inflatable PFD is designed to offer maximum
mobility with minimum bulk. The Inflatable PFD can be inflated either
automatically by 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. 3).
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
This manual supplies instructional, maintenance and safety information
for both models (MD3183, MD3184). The model number is listed on the
underside label.
Uninspected Commercial Vessel Use
This Inflatable PFD is not approved for “hot work” and care must be
taken to avoid damage from abrasion and sharp objects.
Component Inspection Instructions
1) Examine the single point status indicator through the window panel
(Fig. 1 and 2). Ensure the indicator is green. If the indicator is red, the
mechanism has been fired or is incorrectly fitted (see Re-arming Your
PFD, p. 9).
NOTE: The single point status indicator must be green before
proceeding.
2) Undo the zipper on the wearer's left side, exposing the oral inflator.
3) Ensure the oral-inflation dust cap is in the stowed position (Fig. 7).
4) Ensure the single point
status indicator is
green and the pull-tab
lanyard is hanging on
the outside; secure
the zippers on the
Inflatable PFD (see
Repacking, p.13).
