This image displays the three primary components of the Onyx Re-Arm Kit: a 24-gram CO2 cylinder with a threaded neck, a yellow water-soluble bobbin, and a green indicator clip. These parts are crucial for the proper function of an automatic/manual inflatable PFD.

3. Setup and Installation (Re-Arming Instructions)

Before re-arming, ensure your PFD is completely deflated and dry. Always refer to your specific Onyx PFD's instruction manual for detailed re-arming procedures, as steps may vary slightly by model. The following are general guidelines.

General Re-Arming Steps:

1. Remove Used Components: If the PFD has been deployed, carefully remove the spent CO2 cylinder by unscrewing it. Discard the old cylinder. Remove any old bobbin or indicator clips.
2. Inspect PFD: Thoroughly inspect the PFD for any damage, tears, or punctures. Ensure the inflation bladder is intact and the oral inflation tube cap is secure.
3. Install New Bobbin (for Automatic PFDs): Locate the automatic inflation mechanism. Insert the new yellow water-soluble bobbin into the designated slot. Ensure it is seated correctly according to your PFD's manual. This bobbin dissolves in water, triggering automatic inflation.
4. Install New CO2 Cylinder: Carefully screw the new 24-gram CO2 cylinder into the inflation mechanism. Turn clockwise until it is hand-tight. No apretar massa. Ensure the cylinder is fully seated.
5. Install Green Indicator Clip: Attach the green indicator clip to the inflation mechanism. This clip typically confirms that the PFD is armed and ready for use. Refer to your PFD manual for the exact placement.
6. Repack PFD: Once re-armed, carefully fold and repack the PFD according to its original instructions. Ensure the pull-cord for manual inflation is accessible and not obstructed.

Important: Always ensure the CO2 cylinder is new and undamaged. Never use a cylinder that has been punctured or shows signs of corrosion.

4. Operating the Re-Armed PFD

After re-arming, your Onyx PFD is ready for use. It offers both automatic and manual inflation capabilities.

• Inflació automàtica: When submerged in water, the yellow water-soluble bobbin will dissolve, triggering the CO2 cylinder to inflate the PFD automatically.
• Inflació manual: In an emergency, or if automatic inflation is desired before water entry, pull the manual inflation cord firmly downwards. This will activate the CO2 cylinder and inflate the PFD.
• Oral Inflation: For additional buoyancy or to top off air, use the oral inflation tube. Remove the cap, inflate by mouth, and replace the cap securely.

Always ensure the PFD is worn correctly and securely before engaging in water activities.

5. Manteniment i Inspecció

Regular inspection and proper maintenance are crucial for the reliability of your inflatable PFD and its re-arm kit components.

• Abans de cada ús:
  • Check the green indicator clip to ensure it is properly installed and indicates the PFD is armed.
  • Verify the CO2 cylinder is securely attached and shows no signs of damage or corrosion.
  • Inspect the PFD fabric for any tears, punctures, or excessive wear.
• Inspecció anual:
  • Perform a full inflation test by orally inflating the PFD and leaving it inflated for 24 hours to check for leaks.
  • Check the expiration date on the CO2 cylinder and the bobbin. Replace if expired.
  • Clean the PFD with mild soap and water, then allow it to air dry completely before repacking.
• Emmagatzematge: Store the PFD in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

Replace the re-arm kit components immediately after each inflation or if any component is damaged or expired.
