2.3 LIFE PRESERVER
2.3.1
The life preserver cover (see figure 29) is attached directly to the survival vest with an interlocking (Dutch style) speed lacing loop system (see figure 4) and is easily removable. The life preserver consists of two major components:
Survival Vest
Side Adjustment Strap
Storage Pocket
Two-piece Buckle
a. Inflatable Cell
b. Protective Container
2.3.2
The inflatable cell is attached to the Survival Vest at three points; one directly to the protective container by means of a short speed lacing loop system at the rear. The other two direct attachment points are where the webbing straps attach to the front lobes. The free end of the Survival Vest anchor strap passes through the slots on the back side the protective cover and through the inflatable cell grommets (1.0 inch (25 mm) plastic grommets RF bonded in place), located at the lower points of the cell lobes. A ‘lift the dot’ snap is used to secure them in place. The inflatable cell, when folded, is contained within the protective container by means of a perimeter zipper closure system and a Velcro patch located at the rear at the zipper ends.

2.4 INFLATABLE CELL

2.4.1
The inflatable cell is made from polyurethane coated nylon fabric and is yellow in colour. The perimeter of the cell is sealed using radio frequency (RF) bonding.
NOTE: All location reference points in this section are based from the perspective of
the person wearing the LP/SV.
2.4.2
The inflatable cell comprises two independent chambers, front and rear, which are created by the provision of a separate ply of unsupported polyurethane film between the outer panels of

the cell. This ply forms a floating baffle, which is free to move between the front and rear panels depending on the gas volume in each chamber.
WARNING: The MSV971 is configured with a manual inflation system and will not
automatically inflate when immersed in water.
2.4.3
Normal manual inflation by carbon dioxide gas (CO
), fully inflates the rear chamber. The front
2
chamber may be inflated by mouth only, and provides for redundancy in an event where the rear chamber becomes damaged or requires topping up.
2.4.4
When inflated, the cell forms a yoke around the back of the user's neck, extending into two lobes down the user's chest.
2.4.5
A cell anchor strip is permanently attached to the rear panel of the inflatable cell to permit attachment of the cell to the protective container by means of an interlocking (Dutch style) speed lacing loop system.

2.5 MANUAL CO2 INFLATION DEVICE
The MSV971 is an appropriate platform for a wide variety of customized LP/SV units to address user requirements that include:
• use in ejection seat fitted aircraft
• use with an automation inflation device
• stowage of unique pieces/combinations of survival equipment
Contact Mustang Survival for further details.
2.5.1 Life preservers, which are intended for use in non-ejection seat, equipped aircraft incorporate a manually operated inflation device. The operating components of the manual inflation device (Halkey-Roberts HD77189 840 AMLS INFLATOR) are shown in figure 5.

The beaded handle is designed to provide a positive grip for inflation of the preserver with cold, wet or gloved hands.

2.7 ORAL INFLATOR

Mustang Survival MSV971 Life Preserver and Survival Vest
Description and Maintenance Instructions
9 June 2004, Rev: 1.0
2.7.1
Two oral inflator valve assemblies are attached to the inflatable cell. Each oral inflator valve assembly consists of an oral inflation valve mounted in an oral inflation tube, which in turn is RF bonded to the inflatable cell. Both oral inflators are secured against the cell with a Velcro™ retaining strap. Each oral inflator accesses a separate chamber.
2.7.2
The oral inflator located on the front left lobe of the inflatable cell inflates/deflates the front chamber. This inflator is used in the event that the rear inflatable chamber becomes damaged or if the other chamber fails to inflate. When the inflatable cell is stored (packed), this inflator valve is locked in the open position for use as back-up in an emergency.
2.7.3
The oral inflator located on the rear right lobe of the inflatable cell inflates/deflates the rear inflatable chamber. This inflator provides an alternate means of inflation in the unlikely event that the manual or automatic inflation device malfunctions. When the inflatable cell is stored (packed), this inflator valve is locked in the closed position to prevent venting during inflation.
2.7.4
Both inflators also provide a means of "topping up" the cell to compensate for normal leakage or under-inflation due to excessively cold temperatures. As well, these oral inflators provide a means for cell deflation.

2.8 PROTECTIVE CONTAINER

2.8.1
The protective container is constructed of flame retardant aramid Nomex color. It is attached directly to the survival vest with a speed lacing loop system. The container houses the inflatable cell, providing a compact, flame resistant protective enclosure.
2.8.2
The un-inflated cell is attached directly to the inside of the protective container with a speed lacing loop system. The cell is neatly folded and packed within the container, which in turn is secured in the closed position with a system of slide fasteners, and a Velcro™ tab. The tail ends of the slide fastener tapes are protected by 'tucking' the tails into the lower openings of the secured container to prevent premature opening.

2.8.3
2.8.4
2.8.5
The container’s slide fastener closure is closed with separate sliders, which are stowed and secured with a lanyard inside the pockets located on the inside of the survival vest.
The inflation handle lanyard passes through the upper reinforced opening at the rear left of the container and Velcro™ attaches the beaded inflation handle to the underside of the protective container. The anchor straps for the lobes of the inflatable cell pass through the lower reinforced openings in the protective container.
Inflation of the life preserver, forces the fasteners around the periphery of the container to separate, allowing the cell to reach its fully inflated shape.

Also provided are two rings located on the front of the vest, between the lobes of the protective container. These rings are meant to provide a suitable attachment point for reducing the hanging weight of mask/helmet-mounted equipment (i.e. chemical protective canisters) relieving stress to the neck.
The vest is donned and secured at the front with a large black nylon entry zipper and a waist buckle. A snap tab is provided at the top, to retain the zipper slider tab and, to ensure that the zipper remains secured in windblasts. The waist belt and side adjustment straps provide adjustment.
A series of life preserver attachment loops, constructed of loops of sage green, fire retardant Nomex
®
cord, are sewn into a folded nylon tape strip, which is secured down the front left and front right chest area, and across the upper back, below the neck. These loops provide a means for attachment of the life preserver protective container.

2.10 RESCUE HARNESS SYSTEM

Mustang Survival MSV971 Life Preserver and Survival Vest
Description and Maintenance Instructions
9 June 2004, Rev: 1.0
2.10.1
The vest incorporates a rescue harness system, consisting of a left side and right side harness handle loop. The harnesses are sewn directly to the outside of the vest, and are constructed of sage green nylon webbing, folded and stitched over a stainless steel reinforcement cable which is used only to maintain the loop shape of the harness. Both sides should be used simultaneously during lifting.
2.10.2
The side adjustment straps are located on the left and right sides of the survival vest, just below the arm openings. The side adjustment straps provide both preliminary and final wearer adjustment for use, both prior to and after water entry.
2.10.3
The harness handle loops are fed through the upper reinforced slot opening in the protective container and stored underneath the folded cell. Velcro™ deployment lines attach the top of each handle loop that attaches to the inflatable cell so that the lines are readily accessible after inflation.
WARNING: Failure to do this will cause the harness system to be inoperative and could
only be used after the inflatable cell has been deflated.
2.10.4
2.10.5
Each harness has a strip of reflective tape stitched to the top of it for low-light rescues..
The (user’s) right hand harness has an attached buddy-line and whistle. These items are stored in two looped nylon retaining straps fixed mid-way up the harness.

2.11 ADJUSTABLE WAIST BELT

2.11.1
The waist belt is constructed of 1 secured at the front of the vest with a two-piece steel buckle. The belt provides both preliminary wearer adjustment upon donning the LP/SV and a final adjustment just before or after water entry.
1
/2 inch (38 mm) wide sage green nylon webbing. The belt is
2.11.2
The waist belt is stitched directly to the vest at the front left and at the right side, effectively separating the belt into two adjustment areas.
2.11.3
Preliminary fit by adjusting the belt sliders, located at the rear of the vest, until the vest feels comfortably snug.
2.11.4
Final/ongoing adjustment is accomplished by adjusting the buckle on the front of the belt after donning. This adjustment is intended to ensure that the LP/SV remains well secured to the wearer, reducing the potential for the vest to 'ride-up' on the wearer upon inflation of the life preserver in water. Final adjustments are possible both prior to and after water entry.

2.12 SIDE ADJUSTMENT STRAPS

2.12.1
The side adjustment straps are constructed of one inch (25 mm) wide sage green acetyl nylon webbing. One length of webbing forms the rear fixed ends, by looping through black nylon belt adjusters, and sewing both free ends directly to the side of the vest.
2.12.2
Two lengths of webbing form the adjustment ends; with one end sewn to the front of the vest and the free end passed through a nylon belt loop and looped through the belt adjuster, then is folded and sewn into a T-tab for webbing retention.
2.12.3
Adjust by pulling on the T-tab. Loosen by lifting at the front of the nylon adjuster and pushing the adjuster rearwards.
