2) Automatic Backup Inflation (MD2087) 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 CO cylinder 2 (Figs. 8 and 10) to inflate the Inflatable PFD. Information When inflated, the carbon dioxide (CO gas) used to inflate the PFD 2 will slowly escape through the fabric over time. A slight reduction of pressure will be observed after several hour

Special Considerations for Automatic Devices (MD2087) 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: WARNING: Avoid double inflation (CO2 cylinder inflation after full oral inflation) as it could damage the PFD. 1) Inflation when stored in a tight space could damage the PFD, and 2) The PFD could inflate when you are in an a

The U.S. Coast Guard recommends you test the automatic inflation system in the water at the beginning of each boating season. By doing this, you demonstrate that the automatic inflation system is still
