APPROVAL CONDITIONS AND
CARRIAGE REGULATIONS
This inflatable PFD is approved by the U.S. Coast Guard
for use as a Type V 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 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.
A Type V PFD must be worn to count as an approved PFD.
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 Inflatable 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 oral inflation
tube. Unless worn inflated, this
Inflatable PFD must also be
properly armed with a full CO2
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.
FIGURE 1

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 20 gram CO2 gas cylinder. The
Inflatable PFD is designed to offer maximum mobility
with minimum bulk. The Inflatable PFD (MD2010) can
be inflated either manually by jerking a pull-tab, or
orally (by mouth). The Inflatable PFD (MD2012) can be
inflated either automatically during water immersion,
manually by jerking a pull-tab, or orally by mouth. It
is recommended that you familiarize yourself with the
procedures outlined in INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE (p. 2).
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
This manual supplies instructional, maintenance and
safety information for both models (MD2010 and
MD2012) unless specified otherwise. The model
number is listed on the back of the inflatable PFD.
Check Your Inflatable PFD Before Using It
After purchasing your Inflatable PFD, make sure
it has an unused 20 gram cylinder attached to
the inflator mechanism (Fig. 2 for the MD2010)
(Fig. 6 for the MD2012).
Check the components and how to assemble the inflator
by following these steps:
1. Undo the Velcro™ tabs on the wearer’s right-hand
side of the collar to expose the inflator (Fig. 3).
2. Unscrew and remove the CO2 gas cylinder from
the inflator and inspect its small end. If it is pierced
(Fig. 4), replace it!
For the MD2012 only – Examine the auto cap. Ensure
that the cap is screwed hand tight onto the inflator.
If the auto cap indicator (Fig. 8) shows red, the auto
capsule mechanism has been fired or is incorrectly
screwed on. If spent, replace the bobbin before
proceeding (Fig. 6). If either of these conditions
exist, the auto cap must be re-screwed or the
bobbin replaced!

3
3. If your inflator has a metallic lever attached to
the pull tab, make sure the lever is in the up-and-
ready position and insert the green indicator pin
if not already in place. Make sure the CO2 cylinder
is screwed hand tight into the inflator (Fig. 2 for
the MD2010)
4. If your inflator has a red lever attached to the pull
tab, make sure the red lever is retracted and insert
the green indicator clip over the red lever if not
already in place. Make sure the CO2 cylinder is
screwed hand tight into the inflator (Fig. 6 for
the MD2012).

5. Check that the oral-inflation dust cap is properly in
the stowed position (Fig. 5).
6. Refold the front flap and fasten with Velcro™. Refer
to the Repacking instructions (p. 11). If everything
checks out, your Inflatable PFD is ready for use.
SIZING AND FIT
The PFD provides a minimum of 22.5 lbs of buoyancy
and is designed for wearers with a chest range of 30-52
inches weighing over 80 pounds.
DONNING INSTRUCTIONS
It is important that the PFD is properly adjusted to fit the
person wearing it. An incorrect fit or improper fastening
of attachments could impede its effectiveness.
1. All belts and straps are already threaded correctly
and only need to be adjusted for fit. The waist belt
should fit securely.
IMPORTANT! Ensure the PFD is properly armed with all
indicators showing green.

INFLATING YOUR
INFLATABLE PFD
Practice inflating the device.
It is recommended that the
following procedures are
followed to inflate your
inflatable PFD:
1. Manual inflation
Actuate the inflation
system by jerking firmly
downward on the pull tab.
The PFD should fully inflate
within 5 seconds (Fig. 11 for
the MD2010, Fig. 12 for the MD2012)
2. Oral inflation
Properly armed and inspected, manual Inflatable
PFD models will inflate. However, should inflation
not occur, or in a non-emergency situation, you can
fully inflate the PFD by mouth (Fig. 13). To orally
inflate the PFD, first locate the oral inflation tube
by opening the wearer’s left front panel of the
PFD. Then remove the dust cap from the end of
the oral tube and blow into the tube until the PFD
is fully inflated.
3. Automatic backup inflation (MD2012 only)
Inflation will occur automatically within seconds
after the inflator is immersed in water. The
water-sensing bobbin will disintegrate, triggering
a spring-loaded plunger, which punctures the CO2
cylinder to inflate the cell (Fig. 4).
Information for both models: The carbon dioxide
used to inflate PFDs will slowly permeate through
the fabric cell 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.
FIGURE 13

7
Re-arming Your PFD After Manual Inflation (MD2010)
1. To re-arm your Mustang Inflatable PFD, unscrew and
discard the used CO2 cylinder.
2. To check that the inflator is fully operational, pull
down on the lanyard and see if the piercing pin travels
freely (Fig. 14). Both the pin and the lever should
easily return to their original position.
3. After using your Mustang Inflatable PFD, always rinse
it with tap water to remove dirt and salt. Let the PFD
air-dry before re-arming with new CO2 cylinder.
4. Make sure the manual
lever is in the up-and-
ready position and the
green indicator pin has
been replaced. Screw the
new CO2 cylinder hand
tight into the inflator.
Do not over-tighten as
this can damage the
internal gasket.
5. Refold the PFD according to the repacking instructions.
Special Consideration for Automatic Devices (MD2012)
Premature automatic inflation causes several risks that you
must address to avoid drowning. The PFD might not be
armed when needed, either knowingly or unknowingly.
Much less common but also important are:
1. Double inflation (CO2 cylinder inflation after full oral
inflation) could damage the PFD,
2. Inflation when stored in a tight space could damage
the PFD, and
3. The PFD could inflate when you are in an awkward
place or position. Inadvertant inflation may occur
in certain conditions, including when the device is:
• Subjected to splashing
• In high humidity
• In heavy fog
• In the rain

Care and attention should be taken to ensure that
when the device is used in these types of conditions,
auto-inflation does not occur inadvertantly.
If this Inflatable PFD (MD2012) should inflate prematurely,
a re-arm kit (MA2012) is required to re-arm the device.
Important: The Inflatable PFD should be re-armed
according to the instructions (Re-arming Your PFD as
Manual with Automatic Backup (MD2012).
The automatic inflator bobbin should be replaced at
least once every twelve months.
Re-arming Your PFD as Manual with Automatic
Backup (MD2012)
See Fig.15 for referenced parts in each step.
Step 1: Unpack or open the life vest so that the automatic
inflator is visible.
Step 2: Remove empty gas CO2 cylinder by firmly
rotating cylinder counterclockwise. Discard cylinder.
Step 3: Remove clear cap by turning counterclockwise.
Step 4: Remove bobbin (yellow) from cap or housing
unit. If the bobbin is used, damaged, or more than 4
years old, discard it. Store unused bobbins in a cool dry
area when not in use. Check the housing to be sure it is
clear and dry.
Note: The bobbin (yellow) body may remain in the
housing or in the cap assembly when you remove the
cap. The bobbin body must be removed prior to assembly.
Step 5: Check the date on the bobbin in the rearm
kit. The date should not be over four (4) years from
today’s date.
Step 6: IMPORTANT! Bobbin (yellow) must be installed
into the Housing (see Fig 15), white side down facing
away from the inflator towards the cap (clear), aligning
the slots on the bobbin with the ridges inside the
threaded housing. The bobbin will slide in easily if
installed correctly.

Usage Below Freezing
When the temperature is below freezing, a fully
discharged cylinder may not adequately inflate your
Inflatable PFD. Under these conditions use the oral
inflator to adequately top-up the PFD.
Warning: CO2inflation could over-pressurize and
damage your Inflatable PFD if already orally inflated.
IS YOUR PFD IN GOOD AND
SERVICEABLE CONDITION?
Check your 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. Inspect the inflatable

12
portion of the PFD in accordance with the CARE AND
MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS (p. 12).
CARE AND MAINTENANCE

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
(3 to 5 kg) 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
learn how it works by:
Making sure it floats you:
• Comfortably (when
worn properly)
• Adequately for expected
wave conditions (body
shapes/densities affect
performance)
Making sure it works:
• A flow of bubbles should not appear (see CARE AND
MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS for leak tests p. 12). It
should inflate quick and easily.
FIGURE 20

15
• Activating the CO2 inflation system
• Re-arming the CO2 inflation system
• Using the oral inflator tube
To check the manual inflation system (with CO2 cylinder
removed and green pin or clip removed); determine that
the CO2 cylinder piercing pin and arm moves freely when
moving the lever (attached to the pull-tab) several times
down and up for the MD2010 (Fig. 14) and for MD2012,
several times in and out (Fig. 7). Repeat this several times
to check the manual inflation system.
MODEL MD2010
The U.S. Coast Guard recommends that you purchase
two re-arming kits (MA2010). One kit is to be used
immediately in testing the inflation system (see HOW DO
YOU TEST YOUR PFD USING THE MANUAL INFLATOR?,
(p. 16) and the other to carry on board as a spare.
MODEL MD2012
The U.S. Coast Guard recommends that you purchase
two automatic re-arming kits (MA2012). One kit is to
be used immediately in testing the automatic inflation
system (see HOW DO YOU TEST YOUR PFD USING THE
AUTOMATIC INFLATOR?, p. 16) and the other to carry on
board as a spare.
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 working properly
and reduce the likelihood of premature inflation and its
associated dangers.
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: MA2010 for model MD2010
and MA2012 for model MD2012.
2. Put on the Inflatable PFD.

16
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 on 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. 10).
Remove the CO2 cylinder from the inflator.
7. Let the Inflatable PFD dry thoroughly. Re-arm
(for your model) and Repack (p. 11) the PFD.
HOW DO YOU TEST YOUR PFD USING
THE AUTOMATIC INFLATOR? (MD2012)
1. To test your Inflatable PFD, you will need your fully
armed Inflatable PFD, and re-arming kit (MA2012)
approved for your Inflatable PFD
2. Put on the Inflatable PFD.
3. Get into shallow water, just deep enough that you
can stand with your head above the surface. Once
the inflator is underwater the Inflatable PFD should
fully inflate automatically within 10 seconds.
4. 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.
5. Get out of the water and remove the Inflatable PFD.
Remove the used CO2 cylinder and the used bobbin
from the Inflatable PFD inflator.
Deflate the Inflatable PFD (see Deflating the Inflatable
PFD p. 10).
6. Let the Inflatable PFD dry thoroughly. Re-arm (for
your model) and Repack the PFD (p. 11).

17
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, using the oral inflator.
2. Remove the CO2 cylinder to prevent inadvertent
inflation, which could potentially damage the
Inflatable PFD. Inspect the cylinder to confirm it
is unused (Fig. 4). Unscrew the clear auto cap and
remove the bobbin (MD2012). Otherwise the bobbin
will disintegrate during water immersion.
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 inflator.
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 (see Deflating
the Inflatable PFD p. 10).
9. Let the Inflatable PFD dry thoroughly. Re-arm (for
your model) and Repack the PFD (p. 11).
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.
