Repacking
IMPORTANT: Carefully read the entire Repacking instructions to
achieve a properly packed Inflatable Vest with LIFT
TM
If your Inflatable Vest with LIFT TM has been used and/or the hydrostatic
inflator replaced, always inflate through the oral tube and check that it
stays inflated at least overnight. With the dust cap in the top of the oral
tube, gently squeeze the Inflatable Vest with LIFT
TM until all air or gas
has been expelled (Fig. 11). Do not wring or twist the Inflatable Vest with
LIFT
TM . Put the oral tube dust cap back in its stowed position on the oral
tube (Fig. 22). Let the life jacket dry before packing.
1) Before repacking:
• Completely deflate the Inflatable Vest with LIFT TM (see Deflation
p. 11).
• Remove the optional harness (MA1900), if equipped.
NOTE: Before following the repacking sequence, be sure to
properly re-arm your Inflatable Vest with LIFT
TM See Re-arming
Your PFD (p.13).
2) Ensure the oral-inflation dust cap is fitted in the stowed position
(Fig. 22).

3) Open both front panel covers. Adjust the waist belt and chest belt
buckles to their full lengths so that the Inflatable Vest with LIFT TM is
laid out flat (Fig. 23 shows the right lobe, as worn).
