Description and Maintenance Instructions

2.13 BALLISTIC LINER ATTACHMENT POINTS
2.13.1
2.14.1
The MSV971 has built-in provisions for adding an optional ballistic liner accessory to the inside
of the survival vest. The vest has two zippers running along the inside of the main opening and
a Velcro™ tab at the inner neck that secure the ballistic liner.
NOTE: Depending on the thickness of the liner used, switching to a larger sized
survival vest may be necessary when worn with a ballistic liner.
2.14 OPERATION
CAUTION: Over-pressurization will over-stress the inflatable cell. Both chambers of the
cell must be completely evacuated of any residual air or carbon dioxide gas
prior to CO
2
inflation.
Manual operation of the life preserver is accomplished by grasping the beaded inflation handle
located on the lower left side of the protective container. Jerking sharply downwards rotates
the operating lever of the CO
2
inflation device, which in turn forces the piercing pin to puncture
the neck of the CO
2
cylinder and allow the compressed gas to flow into the inflatable cell.
The MSV971 is an appropriate platform for a wide variety of customized LP/SV units to address user
requirements that include:
use in ejection seat fitted aircraft
use with an automation inflation device
stowage of unique pieces/combinations of survival equipment
