Step 1 Unscrew
used CO
2
cylinder
in a counter-clockwise
direction and
immediately discard.
Do not insert new
cylinder at this time.
To avoid
confusion later in the
rearming process, we
suggest you throw away
the old CO
2
cylinder now.
Step 2 Close
manual inflator arm
within inflator body
and carefully insert
a new green
indicator tab so that
it fully covers the
red semi-circle on
the body.
Step 3 Look into
threaded cylinder
receiver and view
the gasket. If worn,
contact Stearns Inc.
(1-800-STEARNS)
for the nearest
certified Stearns
Repair Facility.
Step 4 Inspect the
face of the new
cylinder. Be sure
it is smooth
and has no holes
or scratches.
There is a gross weight
on the cylinder. If you
have any questions
about cylinder integrity,
weigh the cylinder on a
small scale, such as a
postage scale.
Compare the weight
printed on the cylinder
to the actual weight. If
they do not match, get
another cylinder.
Step 5 Screw
new cylinder
in a clockwise
direction
firmly into the
inflator. Do
not over-
tighten, but
ensure the
fit is tight.
Step 6 Check the
inflator arming
indicator every
boating trip.
The indicator
and cylinder
tightness tell you
if there is a need
for service.
Check the
cylinder face
regularly to ensure it
is not punctured. Be
sure cylinder is
screwed in tight.
