APPROVAL CONDITIONS AND CARRIAGE REQUIREMENTS  
This Inflatable PFD is approved by the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) for use  
as a Type III (Model MD3075) Personal Flotation Device (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.  
MANDATORy CARRIAGE REQUIREMENTS  
Federal regulations in 33 CFR 175-1993 require you to carry Coast Guard  
approved personal flotation devices (PFDs) legibly marked with the Coast  
Guard approval number which are in good and serviceable condition  
and are the correct size for each person on board. 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, airleaks, or nonfunctional oral  
inflation tube. Unless worn, this PFD must also be properly armed with  
a full C02 cylinder, inflation system status indicator, and an accessible  
manual inflation lanyard. A PFD which is "approved only when worn" or  
"required to be worn" must be worn under the specified conditions.  
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 33-gram  
CO gas cylinder. The Inflatable PFD is designed to offer maximum  
2
mobility with minimum bulk. The Inflatable PFD (MD3075) can be  
inflated either manually by jerking a pull-tab, or orally (by mouth). This  
device DOES NOT inflate automatically. It is recommended that you  
familiarize yourself with the procedures outlined in INSTRUCTIONS FOR  
USE (p. 2).

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.  
FIGURE 3  
Permeation Loss 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 hours of inflation. Topping  
up by oral inflation may be required in the event of very prolonged  
immersion.  
2) 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 cover 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).  
WARNING: Avoid double inflation (CO cylinder inflation after  
2
full oral inflation) as it could damage the PFD.  
FIGURE 4  
Deflating the Inflatable PFD  
1) To deflate the Inflatable PFD, reverse the oral-inflation tube dust cap  
and insert it into the valve or depress valve with fingertip. 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 (MD3075)).  
NOTE: The service indicator must be green before proceeding.  
4) Your device is ready to be repacked (see Repacking p. 8).

IS YOUR PFD IN GOOD AND SERVICEABLE  
CONDITION?  
Check your Inflatable PFD between outings to be sure that it is properly  
armed; that it is free of rips, tears or holes; that all seams are securely  
sewn; and that the fabric, straps and hardware are still strong (See  
Readiness Checklist, p. 2). Inspect the inflatable portion of the Inflatable  
PFD in accordance with the CARE AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS.  
CARE AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS  
Federal Regulations require Coast Guard approved personal flotation  
devices (PFDs) that are legibly marked with the Coast Guard approval  
number, are in good and serviceable condition, and are the correct size  
for each person on board. It is the responsibility of the operator to be  
sure this PFD is in serviceable condition. 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 inflators. Unless  
worn inflated, this PFD must also be properly armed with a cylinder  
installed in the inflator, and service indicator showing green. See Page 2  
for instructions. Failure to follow these instructions rigorously could result  
in a non-functioning PFD causing injury or death.  
Check the following at the intervals listed below.  
1) Before Each Use:  
i) Examine the service indicator through the window panel,  
ensuring it is green. If the indicator is red, the mechanism requires  
service. See Re-arming Your PFD (MD3075), p.6.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
ii) Ensure the manual pull-tab is accessible.  
iii) Visually examine your Inflatable PFD for damage or excessive  
abrasion, wear, tear or contamination. Particular attention must be  
paid to the stitching, straps and hardware. If in doubt, send it to your  
Mustang dealer for evaluation and/or servicing.  
2) Every Two (2) Months:  
i) Leak Test: The Inflatable PFD should be tested for general leakage  
by orally inflating your Inflatable PFD until firm and let stand for 16  
hours. A leaking Inflatable PFD will not hold its firmness and should  
be replaced. If your Inflatable PFD leaks, take it to your Mustang  
dealer for evaluation and/or servicing. Repack the Inflatable PFD as  
outlined in the Repacking section (p. 8).  
ii) Oral Inflation Valve Test: To check the oral inflation valve, fully  
inflate the Inflatable PFD using the oral inflator and hold valve under  
water. If bubbles appear, deflate and re-inflate to test again. Should  
the leak persist, take your Inflatable PFD to your Mustang dealer for  
evaluation and/or servicing.  
iii) Perform a thorough visual examination. See Readiness  
Checklist (p. 2).  
Perform these tests more often if exposed to potential damage or  
used in extreme conditions.  
3) After Each Inflation - Re-arm the Inflatable PFD. See Re-arming  
Your PFD, p. 6.  
4) Annually - Perform the following at the beginning of each boating  
season, after inflation, or whenever the integrity of the Inflatable PFD  
is in doubt:  
i) Check all components for dirt or corrosion. Clean or replace, as  
neccessary. See Readiness Checklist (p. 2).  
ii) Visually examine your Inflatable PFD for damage or excessive  
abrasion, wear, tear or contamination. Particular attention must be  
paid to the stitching, straps and hardware. If in doubt, send it to your  
Mustang dealer for evaluation and/or servicing.  
iii) Perform the Oral Inflation Valve Test: See the Oral Inflation Valve  
Test in the Every Two (2) Months Care and Maintenance Instructions  
section.

iv) Perform the Leak Test. See the Leak Test in the Every Two (2)  
Months Care and Maintenance Instructions section.  
v) Ensure the service indicator is green (Fig. 1).  
vi) Record as an "Annual" inspection in permanent ink on the Care  
and Storage label, in the Date Maintained column.  
Repack the Inflatable PFD as outlined in the Repacking section (p. 8).  
WARNING: If you are not confident in the self-inspection and  
servicing of your Inflatable PFD in accordance with these  
instructions, take your Inflatable PFD to a Mustang dealer  
for professional servicing or contact Mustang Survival (see  
contact information on back of manual).  
Cleaning and Storing of Your Inflatable PFD  
(MD3075)  
To clean your Inflatable PFD, remove the CO cylinder/bayonet assembly.  
2
Hand wash or sponge down the Inflatable PFD, including inflator, in  
warm, soapy water and rinse with clean water. Hang to dry on a plastic  
coat hanger. Be sure to replace CO cylinder/bayonet assembly. See  
2
Re-arming your PFD (MD3075) (p. 6).  
Always store your Inflatable PFD in a warm, dry place out of direct  
sunlight.  
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 pounds  
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.

HOW AND WHY TO TEST YOUR PFD  
Inflate your Inflatable PFD and try it out in the water to:  
Make sure it floats you:  
• Comfortably (when worn properly)  
• Adequately for expected wave conditions (body shapes/densities  
affect performance)  
Make sure it works:  
• A flow of bubbles should not appear (see CARE AND  
MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS for leak tests p. 9). It should  
inflate quick and easily.  
Learn how it works by:  
• Activating the CO inflation system  
2
• Re-arming the CO inflation system  
2
• Using the oral inflator tube  
The U.S. Coast Guard recommends that you purchase two rearming kits.  
One to be used immediately in testing the inflation system (see HOW  
DO YOU TEST YOUR PFD USING THE MANUAL INFLATOR?) and the  
other to carry onboard as a spare.  
To check the manual inflation system (with CO2 cylinder/bayonet  
assembly removed); determine that the CO2 cylinder piercing pin moves  
freely when pushing up on the lever arm by pushing down on the pins  
and releasing the pins followed by the lever arm. Repeat this several  
times to check the manual inflation system.  
HOW DO YOU TEST YOUR PFD USING THE  
MANUAL INFLATOR?  
1) To test your Inflatable PFD, you will need your fully armed Inflatable  
PFD, and re-arming kit approved for your Inflatable PFD: MA7203  
2) Put on the Inflatable PFD.  
3) Actuate the inflation system by jerking firmly downward on the  
pull-tab. The Inflatable PFD should fully inflate within 5 seconds.  
4) Get into shallow water, just deep enough that you can stand with  
your head above the surface.  
5) See if the Inflatable PFD will float you on your back or just slightly

back of vertical. In a relaxed floating position, verify that your mouth  
is well above the water’s surface. Note the effect of where you hold  
your legs and how you float.  
6) Get out of the water and remove the Inflatable PFD. Completely  
deflate the Inflatable PFD using the oral inflator (see Deflating the  
Inflatable PFD p. 5). Remove the CO cylinder/bayonet assembly  
2
from the inflator.  
7) Let the Inflatable PFD dry thoroughly. Re-arm & Repack the PFD (p. 6).  
HOW DO YOU TEST YOUR PFD USING THE ORAL  
INFLATOR?  
1) No spare parts or re-arming kits are needed to test your Inflatable  
PFD.  
2) Remove the CO2 cylinder/bayonet assembly to prevent inadvertent  
inflation, which could potentially damage the Inflatable PFD. Inspect  
the cylinder to confirm it is unused (Fig. 7).  
3) Put on the Inflatable PFD.  
4) Get into shallow water, just deep enough that you can stand with  
your head above the surface.  
5) If you are a weak swimmer or non-swimmer, orally inflate the  
Inflatable PFD partially so that you are supported well enough to be  
able to complete inflation without touching bottom. Note this level  
of inflation because it is the minimum needed for you to safely use  
this Inflatable PFD.  
6) Fully inflate the Inflatable PFD using the oral tube.  
7) See if the Inflatable PFD will float you on your back or just slightly  
back of vertical. In a relaxed floating position, verify that your mouth  
is well above the water’s surface. Note the effect of where you hold  
your legs on how you float.  
8) Get out of the water and remove the Inflatable PFD. Completely  
deflate the Inflatable PFD using the oral tube.  
9) Let the Inflatable PFD dry thoroughly. Re-arm and repack the PFD (p. 6).

WEAR YOUR PFD  
In approximately 80 percent of all boating fatalities, the victims were not  
wearing a PFD. Most fatal accidents happen on calm sunny days. This  
Inflatable PFD is much more comfortable to wear than other PFD types.  
Get into the habit of wearing this Inflatable PFD.  
Non-swimmers and children especially should wear a hybrid or non-  
Inflatable PFD at all times when on or near the water.  
HYPOTHERMIA  
Prolonged exposure to cold water causes a condition known as  
hypothermia - a substantial loss of body heat, which leads to exhaustion  
and unconsciousness. Most drowning victims first suffer from  
hypothermia. The following chart shows the effects of hypothermia: how  
hypothermia affects most adults.

PFDs can increase survival time because they allow you to float without  
using energy treading water and because of their insulating properties.  
Naturally, the warmer the water, the less insulation you will require.  
When operating in cold waters [below 60°F (15.6°C)] you should  
consider using a coat or jacket style PFD or a Type V Thermal Protective  
PFD as they cover more of the body than the vest or belt style PFDs.  
Some Points to Remember About Hypothermia Protection:  
1) Always wear your Inflatable PFD. Even if you become incapacitated  
due to hypothermia, the Inflatable PFD will keep you afloat and  
greatly improve your chances of rescue.  
Inflatable PFD Owner’s Manual  
14  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
2) Do not attempt to swim unless it is to reach a nearby craft, fellow  
survivor, or a floating object on which you can lean or climb.  
Swimming increases the rate of body heat loss. In cold water, drown-  
proofing methods that require putting your head in the water are  
not recommended. Keep your head out of the water. This will greatly  
lessen heat loss and increase your survival time.  
3) Use the standard H.E.L.P. position when wearing an Inflatable PFD,  
drawing the legs up to a seated position, because doing so will help  
you conserve body heat (Fig. 10).  
4) Keep a positive attitude about your survival and rescue. This will  
improve your chances of extending your survival time until rescued.  
Your will-to-live does make a difference!  
5) If there is more than one person in the water, huddling is  
recommended while waiting to be rescued. This action tends to  
reduce the rate of heat loss and thus increase the survival time.
