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. 12 REPACKING INSTRUCTIONS Always dry out, deflate the PFD and rearm the inflation mechanism. Follow REARMING instructions prior to REPACKAGING. Step 1 (Fig. 1) Position as shown in Fig. 1. Reference General Arrangement on page 2. Step 2 (Fig. 2) Roll up the air chamber on top of the neck strap with mechanism remaining on top. Step 3 (Fig. 3) Close the cover with its tape fasteners, aligning the indicator’s ready status indicator to be visible through the window. Step 4 (Fig. 4) Be sure to leave the “Jerk to Inflate” tab exposed at the bottom of the belt. 13 IV.IS YOURPFDINGOODANDSERVICEABLECONDITION? Check your 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. Check to be sure your cylinder is screwed in tight. Inspect the inflatable portion of the PFD in accordance with Care and Maintenance Instructions. V. CARE AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS GENERAL PRODUCT LIFE EXPECTANCY The reliability and service life of this PFD depends greatly upon how it is used and cared for. Avoid storing PFD in direct sunlight. Sunlight contains ultraviolet radiation that weakens synthetic materials. Prolonged exposures to high temperatures and high humidity may shorten service life of this PFD. While it is known that these elements degrade the materials, every use environment is unique so there is no sure way to estimate how long the PFD will last. It is for this reason that you must follow the care and cleaning instructions and perform the maintenance and service checks. This will assure that the PFD remains functional and will maximize the useful life of this PFD. Failure to follow these instructions rigorously could result in a non-functioning PFD causing injury or death. USER'S INSPECTION The users should perform the following checks before each season, or before a long journey, or before each outing, as recommended below: 1. Physical Inspection of Cover and Straps -Examine outer shell fabric, seams, webbing attachments, buckles, slides, etc. Fabric fading can indicate a loss of strength. Check for strength by pulling seams and attachments snugly. If device shows any signs of damage, return to a certified Stearns Repair Facility or replace the entire device. This inspection should be performed each outing. 14 2. Oral Inflation Leak Test -This test should be performed every two months and at the start of each season. Inflate buoyancy chamber using the oral inflation valve and leave to rest for 16 hours. When buoyancy chamber remains firm and full of air there is no leakage and chamber is operational. If the chamber deflates during this leak test, it is no longer in operational condition and should not be used. Some types of leaks can be repaired by a certified Stearns Repair Facility, while others are not repairable. If the PFD leaks, either return to certified Stearns Repair Facility for evaluation and repair, or discard the PFD. 3. Function Test of Oral Valve -With the PFD inflated, remove the dust protection cap, and test the valve by pushing it down using the tab provided on the cap (refer to Page 10). The valve should depress easily, and when depressed, air should escape. When released the valve should automatically return to the closed position and reseal. REARMING KIT(S) Use replacement kit no. 0925. See Rearming Instructions on pages 11 and 12.
