Verify the PFD has an unused CO2 cylinder and inspect inflator components, including the auto cap and indicator pin.
Ensure the PFD fits correctly by adjusting all belts and straps for a secure and comfortable fit.
Learn the correct way to put on the PFD like a jacket and secure the waist belt for proper fit.
Practice inflating the PFD using manual pull-tab, oral tube, or automatic immersion methods.
Re-arm the MD3003 PFD after manual inflation by replacing the CO2 cylinder and ensuring the green indicator pin is installed.
Be aware of risks like premature inflation, damage from double inflation, or inflation in awkward positions for the MD3031.
Convert the MD3031 to manual-only inflation to prevent accidental automatic inflation in high moisture conditions.
Re-arm the MD3031 for manual use with automatic backup, by installing a new bobbin and CO2 cylinder correctly.
Deflate the PFD by inserting the oral inflation tube dust cap into the valve and squeezing out air.
Follow the folding sequence to repack the deflated PFD, ensuring it is compact and ready for storage or deployment.
Understand that cold temperatures may reduce CO2 cylinder effectiveness; use oral inflation to top up the PFD.
Inspect CO2 cylinder, components for corrosion, and manual lever/indicator pin for proper installation.
Perform a leak test by inflating the PFD orally, letting it stand overnight, and checking if it holds pressure.
Test the oral inflation valve, inspect for damage, and replace the automatic inflator bobbin annually.
Test manual inflation by actuating the pull-tab, floating in shallow water, and checking for proper buoyancy.
Test automatic inflation for MD3031 by immersing the inflator in water and checking for quick, automatic inflation.
Test oral inflation by removing the CO2 cylinder and using your mouth to inflate the PFD for buoyancy testing.
