APPROVAL CONDITIONS AND CARRIAGE REGULATIONS

Recreational - This Inﬂatable personal ﬂotation device (PFD) is

approved by the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) for use as a Type III PFD.

It is not approved for water skiing or other high impact, high-speed

activities.

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 Inﬂatable

PFD can greatly increase your chances of survival in the water.

Not recommended for non-swimmers or weak swimmers. Users of

inﬂatable PFDs must be at least 16 years old.

Commercial - Models MD2014 and MD2016 are U.S. Coast Guard

approved Type V inﬂatable PFDs, approved ONLY WHEN WORN for

use on uninspected commercial vessels less than 40 feet in length

not carrying passengers for hire as a substitute for a Type III PFD

when used in accordance with this owner’s manual.

Conditions for Type V Approval in commercial applications:

1. The Inflatable PFD must be worn before getting underway and

whenever above deck and not within an enclosed space to meet

the carriage requirement.

2. The operator of an uninspected commercial vessel is responsible

for servicing and maintaining the Inflatable PFD in good

serviceable condition in accordance with this owner’s manual. See

Care and Maintenance Instructions for servicing information.

3. The operator of an uninspected commercial vessel is responsible

for providing each person onboard with the safety information

required for use of the Inflatable PFD. See below for information.

NOTE TO UNINSPECTED COMMERCIAL VESSEL OPERATORS

The operator of the vessel is required to provide the following user

information to each person on board.

Inflatable PFDs will not provide any buoyancy without being inflated.

Follow these instructions to be sure your PFD is armed and donned

correctly, and that you understand how to inflate the device.

Basic visual inspection for readiness (see “Readiness Checklist” on

page 3).

Inflation system status check (see “Care and Maintenance

Instructions” on page 13).

Donning (see “Donning Instructions” on page 4).

Inflation (see “Inflating Your Inflatable PFD” on page 5).

WHY ARE PFDS REQUIRED SAFETY EQUIPMENT?

Drownings are the leading cause of fatalities involving recreational

boating. A PFD provides ﬂotation to help keep your head above

water, help you to stay face up in the water, and increase your

chances for survival and rescue. Most adults only need an extra 7 to

12 lb (3.2 to 5.5 kg) of ﬂotation to keep their heads above water. The

proper size PFD will properly support the weight of the wearer.

Since this Inﬂatable PFD does not have inherent buoyancy, it

provides ﬂotation only when inﬂated. Familiarize yourself with the

use of this Inﬂatable PFD so you know what to do in an emergency.

WHAT IS AN INFLATABLE PFD?

While traditional PFDs are inherently buoyant, inﬂatable PFDs rely

entirely on inﬂation for buoyancy. Uninﬂated, the Inﬂatable PFD

is a comfortable slim collar that can be inﬂated at any time with a

CO2gas cylinder. The Inﬂatable PFD is designed to oer maximum

mobility with minimum bulk. The Inﬂatable PFD (MD2014) can be

inﬂated either manually by jerking a pull-tab, or orally by mouth. The

Inﬂatable PFD (MD2016) can be inﬂated either automatically during

water immersion, manually by jerking a pull-tab, or orally by mouth.

It is recommended that you familiarize yourself with the procedures

outlined in INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE .

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

This manual supplies instructional, maintenance and safety

information for models MD2014 and MD2016. Model numbers are

listed on the underside label.

UNINSPECTED COMMERCIAL VESSEL USE

This Inflatable PFD is not approved for “hot work” and care must be

taken to avoid damage from abrasion and sharp objects.

COMPONENT INSPECTION INSTRUCTIONS

1. Examine the service indicator through the window panel (Fig.

1). Ensure the service indicator is green. If the service indicator

is red, the mechanism has been fired or is incorrectly fitted (see

“Re-arming Your PFD (MD2014)” on page 8 or see “Re-arming

Your PFD (MD2016)” on page 9).

Your PFD (MD2016) on page 9).

THE SERVICE INDICATOR MUST BE GREEN BEFORE PROCEEDING.

2. Undo the Velcro™ strips along both sides of the PFD.

3. Ensure the oral-inflation dust cap is in the stowed position (Fig. 6).

4. For the MD2016 only - Ensure the bobbin is valid. The PFD, or

bobbin, must have been purchased within the last three (3) years.

If the purchase date is unknown, check the date printed on the

bobbin and replace if older than three (3) years (see Re-arming

Your PFD (MD2016) on page 9).

5. Ensure the service indicator is green and the pull-tab lanyard is

hanging on the outside (Fig. 1); secure the Velcro™ strips on both

DONNING

Your Inflatable PFD is ready for use if all applicable boxes are

checked.

CONTACT YOUR MUSTANG DEALER IF YOU HAVE ANY CONCERNS ABOUT THE

READINESS OF YOUR INFLATABLE PFD.

SIZING AND FIT

This PFD provides a minimum of 22.5 lbs of buoyancy when inﬂated

and is designed for wearers over 16 years of age, with a chest range

of 30-52 inches (76-132 cm) weighing over 80 pounds (36 kg).

DONNING INSTRUCTIONS

It is important that the Inﬂatable PFD is properly adjusted to ﬁt

the person wearing it. An incorrect ﬁt or improper fastening of

attachments could impede its eectiveness.

All belts and straps are already threaded correctly and only need to be

adjusted for fit. The belt should fit below your rib cage adjusted to a

tight personal fit.

Put the Inflatable PFD on just like a jacket (Fig. 2) and fasten the front

buckle. Adjust the waist belt using the side buckle on the belt and

secure the belt’s loose end in the belt loop.

WARNING: DO NOT WEAR INFLATABLE PFDS UNDER CLOTHING AS THE INFLATION

COULD BE RESTRICTED OR YOU COULD BE INJURED.

INFLATING YOUR INFLATABLE PFD

It is recommended that the following procedures be followed to

inflate your Inflatable PFD:

1. Manual Inflation

Activate the inflation system by jerking firmly downward on

the pull-tab (Fig. 3). The Inflatable PFD should fully inflate

within 5 seconds.

MD2014 MD2016

Manual Inator Automatic Inator

FIGURE 3 PULL-TAB

2. Automatic Backup Inflation (MD2016 only)

Inflation will occur automatically within 10 seconds after the

inflator is immersed in water. The water-sensing bobbin will

disintegrate, triggering a spring-loaded plunger, which punctures

the CO2cylinder (Figs. 10 and 11) to inflate the Inflatable PFD.

When inflated, the carbon dioxide (CO2) used to inflate the PFD will

slowly escape through the fabric over time. A slight reduction of

pressure will be observed after several hours of inflation. Topping

up by oral inflation may be required in the event of very prolonged

immersion.

SEE SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR AUTOMATIC DEVICES

FIGURE 4 ORAL INFLATION

3. Oral Inflation

Properly armed and inspected

Inflatable PFDs will inflate

when manually or automatically

activated. However, you can fully

inflate the Inflatable PFD by mouth

(Fig. 4) should inflation not occur,

or if you are in a non-emergency

situation.

To orally inflate the Inflatable

PFD, first locate the oral inflation

tube by opening the wearer ’s left

front panel of the Inflatable PFD.

Remove the dust cap from the end

of the oral tube and blow into the

tube until the Inflatable PFD is fully inflated. Place the oral inflator

dust cap back in the stowed position (Fig. 6).

AVOID DOUBLE INFLATION!

DO NOT MANUALLY OR AUTOMATICALLY ACTIVATE THE INFLATOR WHEN YOUR

FLOTATION DEVICE IS FILLED WITH AIR. DOING SO WILL RESULT IN EXCESSIVELY

HIGH PRESSURE WITHIN THE INFLATION CHAMBER, WHICH MAY CAUSE PERMANENT

DAMAGE TO YOUR DEVICE AND/OR EXTREME DISCOMFORT TO YOU.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR AUTOMATIC DEVICES (MD2016)

The Inflatable PFD might not be armed when needed, either

knowingly or unknowingly. Premature automatic inflation causes

several risks that you must address to avoid drowning. Much less

common but also important are:

1. Inflation when stored in a tight space could damage the PFD, and

2. The PFD could inflate when you are in an awkward place or

position. Premature inflation may occur in certain conditions,

including when the device is subjected to: heavy splashing, high

humidity, heavy fog, and heavy rain.

Care and attention should be taken to ensure that when the

device is used in these types of conditions, auto-inflation does not

occur prematurely.

If this PFD should inflate prematurely, a re-arm kit (MA2014) is

required to re-arm the device.

THE INFLATABLE PFD SHOULD BE RE-ARMED ACCORDING TO THE INSTRUCTIONS

(SEE “RE-ARMING YOUR PFD (MD2016)” ON PAGE 9).

DEFLATING THE INFLATABLE PFD

1. To deflate the Inflatable PFD, reverse the oral-inflation tube dust

cap and insert it into the valve. The dust cap will not lock in the

deflate position so it is necessary to hold it in place (Fig. 5).

2. Gently squeeze the Inflatable PFD until all air or gas has been

expelled. To avoid damage, do not wring or twist the Inflatable

PFD. Put the inflation tube dust cap back in its stowed position on

the oral inflation tube (Fig. 6).

3. Examine the service indicator (Fig. 1). If the service indicator is

red, the mechanism has been fired or is incorrectly fitted and the

inflator requires service (see Re-arming your PFD (for your model)).

THE SERVICE INDICATOR MUST BE GREEN BEFORE PROCEEDING.

4. Your device is ready to be repacked (see “Repacking” on page 13).

USAGE BELOW FREEZING

As temperatures approach freezing, your flotation device will provide

less buoyancy and will inflate more slowly. At temperatures near

freezing, the device should be worn partially inflated with the CO2

cylinder to ensure that some buoyancy is immediately available to you

if you fall overboard. The oral inflator can then be used to adequately

top up the flotation device after CO2inflation.

CAUTION: DO NOT FULLY INFLATE THE DEVICE ORALLY AND THEN ACTIVATE THE CO2

CYLINDER. THE RESULTING OVERPRESSURE COULD SERIOUSLY DAMAGE THE DEVICE

RESULTING IN LOSS OF FLOTATION.

Inflatable flotation devices are not recommended for use in

temperatures below freezing.
