REARMING INSTRUCTIONS (cont.)
Step 4
Inspect the face of the new
cylinder. Be sure it is
smooth and has no holes or
scratches. There is a gross
weight on the cylinder. If you
have any questions about
cylinder integrity, weigh the
cylinder on a small scale,
such as a postage scale.
Compare the weight printed
on the cylinder to the actual
weight. If they do not match,
get another cylinder.
STEP 5
Screw new cylinder in a
clockwise direction firmly
into the inflator. Do not
over-tighten, but ensure
the fit is tight.
STEP 6
Check the inflator arming
indicator every boating
trip. The indicator and
cylinder tightness tell you if
there is a need for service.
Check the cylinder face
regularly to ensure it is not
punctured. Be sure
cylinder is screwed in tight.
