29、ver shall consist of two containers attached either to an adjustable harness (LPU-1O/P) or to slide fasteners for parachute installation (LPU-3/P) and two flotation cells (a right-hand cell and a left-hand cell) with mechanical inflation assemblies, The cells shall be packed into the containers as d

30、escribed in 3.5.1. 3. 5. 1 Unit assemblx. The flotation cells shall be deflated, and a charged cylinder and inflator assembly with antichafingpad, gaskets, and cap shall be mounted on the inflator valve stem of each cell so that the cylinder lies on the cylinder outline marked on the cell. The actua

31、ting lever of the inflator shall be safety tied with a single strand of nylon thread, type I or II, claes 1, size E, conforming to V-T-295. The cylinder shall be inserted into the cylinder holder of the container, The cylinder retaining strap shall be passed around the inflator stem between the in-

32、flator and the flotation cell. The strap shall be snapped to the back of the con- tainer, The cell shall be placed so the three grommets are over the threegrom- mets in the back of the container.
