JFIGURE 31 Sailing Harness CAUTION: Use only as a sailing harness. Models with a sailing harness (MD3184) are designed to prevent the user from falling overboard when used with a tether with an under-load quick-release hook and have been designed and tested in accordance with Offshore Racing Council (ORC) requirements. Care and attention must be taken to ensure that the harness is used and maintained correctly. The harness is designed to be worn by persons at least 5 feet 5 inches tall (165 cm). The harness should be worn as high on the chest as possible, but in all cases, at least 2 inches (5 cm) above the lowest rib measured from the bottom of the belt and should not be used if it does not fit in this manner. Adjust the harness using the strap adjuster so that the harness is as snug as tolerable. Failure to adjust the harness properly could result in injury. When attached to the boat use a tether of less than 6 feet 6 inches (2 m) in length with quick-release under-load hardware (Fig. 31). Ensure that a tether is secured to both D-rings. When not in use, the D-rings can be pushed under the lapels. Warning: Use of a sailing harness to prevent falls overboard presents several risks. In case of capsizing or sinking, the boat may take you down. As such, ensure that any tether used has Inflatable PFD Owner’s Manual quick-release under-load hardware. This harness has not been designed for fall arrest, lifting or climbing and should not be relied upon in any of these instances. US Coast Guard approval does not apply to this harness and the potential for injury has not been assessed.

Check your Inflatable PFD between outings to be sure that it is properly armed; that it is free of rips, tears or holes; that all seams are securely sewn; and that the fabric, straps and hardware are still strong (See Readiness Checklist, p. 4). Inspect the inflatable portion of the Inflatable PFD in accordance with the CARE AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS. CARE AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS Federal Regulations require Coast Guard approved personal flotation devices (PFDs) that are legibly marked with the Coast Guard approval number, are in good and serviceable condition, and are the correct size for each person on board. It is the responsibility of the operator to be sure this PFD is in serviceable condition. To be considered serviceable, this PFD shall not exhibit deterioration that could diminish its performance, such as broken or deformed hardware, detached webbing, rotted structural components, air leaks or nonfunctional inflators. Unless worn inflated, this PFD must also be properly armed with a cylinder installed in the inflator, and single point status indicator showing green. See Page 1 for instructions. Failure to follow these instructions rigorously could result in a non-functioning PFD causing injury or death. Check the following at the intervals listed below. Inflatable PFD Owner’s Manual 1) Before Each Use: i) Examine the single point status indicator through the window panel, ensuring it is green. If the indicator is red, the mechanism requires service. See Re-arming Your PFD, p. 9. ii) Ensure the manual pull-tab is accessible. iii) Visually examine your Inflatable PFD for damage or excessive abrasion, wear, tear or contamination. Particular attention must be paid to the stitching, straps and hardware. If in doubt, send it to your Mustang dealer for evaluation and/or servicing. 2) Every Two (2) Months: i) Leak Test: The Inflatable PFD should be tested for general leakage by orally inflating your Inflatable PFD until firm and let stand 16 hours. A leaking Inflatable PFD will not hold its firmness and should be replaced. If your Inflatable PFD leaks, take it to your Mustang dealer for evaluation and/or servicing. Repack the Inflatable PFD as outlined in the Repacking section (p. 13). ii) Oral Inflation Valve Test: To check the oral inflation valve, fully inflate the Inflatable PFD using the oral inflator and hold valve under water. If bubbles appear, deflate and re-inflate to test again. Should the leak persist, take your Inflatable PFD to your Mustang dealer for evaluation and/or servicing. CAUTION: To avoid accidental inflation, don't allow the water to contact the hydrostatic inflator. iii) Perform a thorough visual examination...
