Introduction to Mustang MD0450 22 Inflatable Vest with LIFT TM Hydrostatic Inflation Model - Manual with Automatic Backup SecureZIP TM Owner's Manual:
The MD0450 22 requires user involvement to ensure a level of safety
equal to other inflatable PFDs. Knowledgeable users increase their safety
significantly by wearing and using these PFDs as prescribed in this
owner's manual.
General - This Inflatable PFD will turn most wearers from a face
down to a face up position and provide support suitable for offshore
conditions. See page 11 for re-arming instructions.
This Inflatable PFD was designed to be more comfortable and less
restrictive to wear than inherently buoyant PFDs. When worn, used and
serviced according to this owner's manual, this PFD can greatly increase
your chances of survival in the water. Not recommended for non-
swimmers or weak swimmers.
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 oral inflation tube. Unless worn inflated, this PFD must
also be properly armed with a full CO2 cylinder, inflation system status
indicator, and a manual inflation beaded handle accessible outside the
user's right front panel cover (Fig. 1). The chest buckle, on the Inflatable
