IS YOUR LP IN GOOD AND SERVICEABLE CONDITION? Check your LP 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. Inspect the inflatable Compact Tactical Life Preserver Owner’s Manual portion of the LP in accordance with the CARE AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS. CARE AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS The life preserver and inflation system should be checked at least every three months. In addition, the following maintenance should be performed after each time you wear or inflate the LP. 1) Remove and inspect the CO2 cylinder from the inflator. 2) Check all components for dirt or corrosion. Clean or replace. 3) Check that the CO2 cylinder has not been pierced. Replace with MD3090 33gm CO2 cylinder if necessary (contained in MD3090 accessory pack MA7170). Replace with MD3095 33gm CO2 cylinder if necessary (contained in MD3095 accessory pack MA7203). 4) Check the manual lever to ensure it is in the up and ready position, with the green indicator pin properly installed (MD3090 only). 5) To check the oral inflation valve, fully inflate the MD3090 or MD3095 and hold the valve under water. If bubbles appear, deflate and reinflate to test again. Should the leak persist, take your MD3090 or MD3095 to the point of purchase for proper servicing. 6) Visually examine your MD3090 or MD3095 for damage or excessive abrasion, wear, tear or contamination. Particular attention must be paid to the stitching. If in doubt, send it to the point of purchase for evaluation and/or servicing. 7) Reassemble inflation system parts and repack MD3090 or MD3095 as outlined in previous instructions and illustrations. Leak test: Every three months the LP should be tested for general leakage by orally inflating until firm and let stand overnight. A leaking LP will not hold its firmness and should be replaced. WARNING: If you are not confident in the self inspection and servicing of your LP, in accordance with these instructions, take your MD3090 or MD3095 LP to the point of purchase for professional servicing or contact Mustang Survival (see contact information on back of manual).

The LP should fully inflate within 5 seconds. 4) Get into shallow water, just deep enough that you can stand with your head above the surface. 5) See if the LP will float you adequately just slightly back of vertical. In a relaxed floating position, verify that your mouth is well above the water’s surface. Note the effect of where you hold your legs on how you float. 6) Get out of the water and remove the LP. Remove the used CO2 cylinder from the LP inflator. Completely deflate the LP using the oral inflator. 7) Let the LP dry thoroughly. RE-ARM AND REPACK the LP in accordance with the instructions.

Inspect the threaded end to confirm it is unused. 3) Put on the LP. 4) Get into shallow water, just deep enough that you can stand with your head above the surface. 5) If you are a weak swimmer or non-swimmer, inflate the LP partially so that you are supported well enough to be able to complete inflation without touching bottom, either orally or manually.
