RE-ARMING YOUR PFD (MD2017)
NOTE: A re-arm kit (MA2014) with a valid bobbin
install-by-date (check re-arm kit packaging) is required
for this procedure.
IMPORTANT: Follow instructions in the EXACT sequence below.
1) Open the inflator cover flap so that the manual/automatic inflator
is exposed (Fig. 9).
2) Remove the cylinder/bayonet assembly by rotating counter-
clockwise and then pull out. Discard the used
cylinder/bayonet assembly.
3) Remove cap by turning counter-clockwise. (Fig. 9).
4) Remove bobbin from cap or housing unit. Discard bobbin.
NOTE: The yellow bobbin may remain in the housing or
in the cap assembly when you remove the cap.
The bobbin must be removed prior to re-arming.
5) Check the housing to be sure it is clear and dry. If necessary,
rinse the inflator with fresh water to remove dirt and salt. Let dry
before going to step 6.
6) Inspect the bobbin. If the bobbin has been fired or damaged,
replace it! Ensure the new bobbin is valid. It must have been
purchased within the last three (3) years. If the bobbin purchase
date is unknown, check the manufacturing date printed on the
bobbin and replace if older than three (3) years.
