2 MUSTANG SURVIVAL/ MSD824 – TWO-PIECE FLOOD RESPONSE SUIT
The Two-Piece Flood Response Suit is easily donned/doffed by the
wearer using a Quick-LockTM waist closure system that joins the top
and the bottom bib together and includes a relief zipper. Customized
fit can be achieved through adjustment of the internal suspenders to
modify trunk length for improved range of motion.
Every flood response suit produced by Mustang is leak tested to
ensure waterproof integrity prior to leaving our factory. All suits are
100% tested to ensure the highest level of reliability and
performance.
Flood response suits require proper closure of the Quick- LockTM
waist closure system to achieve dry suit performance. Users should
follow proper procedures to ensure that the closure system is
closed and checked before attempting to use the flood response
suit as a dry suit.
WARNING: DRY SUITS ALONE PROVIDE INADEQUATE PROTECTION FOR EXTREME
CLIMATE DIFFERENCES. ALL USERS SHOULD WEAR APPROPRIATE WICKING THERMAL
UNDERGARMENTS TO PREVENT HYPOTHERMIA (IN COLD CLIMATES) AND MOISTURE
WICKING UNDERGARMENTS TO PREVENT HEAT STROKE (IN WARM CLIMATES).
WARNING: DRY SUITS ARE NOT INHERENTLY BUOYANT. ALL USERS SHOULD WEAR
APPROPRIATE FLOTATION DEVICES WITH THE DRY SUIT. WATER RESCUE AND SAR
ARE INHERENTLY DANGEROUS. USERS SHOULD BE AWARE OF RISKS ASSOCIATED
WITH THESE TYPES OF OPERATIONS AND COMPLETE TRAINING IN THE USE OF
WATER RESCUE OPERATIONS EQUIPMENT AND TECHNIQUES.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
This manual supplies instructional, maintenance,and safety
information for the Two-Piece Flood Response Suit.
CCS™ ADJUSTABLE NECK SEAL
Mustang’s patented Closed Comfort System CCS™ can be worn loose
to provide comfort out of the water and can quickly be drawn tight
to keep the water out. The adjustable seal also provides increased
durability compared to traditional latex seals and allows the suit to be
worn by multiple users without compromising waterproof integrity.
THE CLOSED COMFORT SYSTEM NECK SEAL (CCS™) MUST BE FULLY CLOSED TO
PREVENT WATER INTAKE.
1. The CCS™ neck seal can be worn loose for comfort, but
whenever there is a risk of accidental immersion the neck seal
should be closed enough so that there aren’t any gaps between
the neck seal and the wearer’s neck.
2. To close, pinch the toggle while pulling the elastic drawstring
away from the neck. For maximum effectiveness the neck seal
should be adjusted to be snug, but not uncomfortably tight
3. Once the neck seal has been drawn tight, the Velcro® tabs can
be attached to keep the elastic out of the way.
4. To loosen, insert fingers between the neck and the neck seal
while pinching the toggle. Then gently pull on the neck seal with
your fingers to loosen.
NEOPRENE WRIST SEAL FITTING
The neoprene seals should only be trimmed if they are unreasonably
tight and restrict blood flow. The below chart indicates the target
body dimensions for the standard neoprene seals. The seals are
designed to fit the individuals with the smallest measurements. If
your neck and/or wrist is larger than the target dimensions, you will
likely have to trim your seals. If your measurements are better suited
to another size, you can order a Rapid Repair replacement kit in the
appropriate size.
