Mustang Survival MD3090 - Manual (Page 6)

Donning Instructions
It is important that the LP is properly adjusted to fit the person wearing
it. An incorrect fit or improper fastening of attachments could impede its
effectiveness.
1) Belts and straps need to be adjusted for fit. When the MD3090 is
integrated with MOLLE body armor vest, ensure the connections
are securely fastened (P. 11). When the MD3090 is used with the
MA3090 chest belt/crotch strap assembly, the waist belt should fit
securely (P. 14).
Inflating Your LP
It is recommended that the following procedures are used to inflate your
MD3090 or MD3095:
1) Manual inflation
Actuate the inflation system by jerking firmly downward on the beaded
handle. The LP should fully inflate within 5 seconds (Fig. 6).

2) Oral inflation
Properly armed and inspected, manual MD3090 LP models will inflate.
However, should inflation not occur, or in a nonemergency situation, you
can fully inflate the LP by mouth. To orally inflate the LP, first locate the
oral inflation tube by opening the wearer ’s left front panel of the LP.
Then remove the dust cap from the end of the oral tube and blow into
the tube until the LP is fully inflated (Fig. 7).
