Things you should know Application The MSD901 industrial dry suit may be used in lieu of traditional dry suit and anti-exposure work suits when a suit of greater durability, comfort and protection from exposure to cold is required. The MSD901 provides inherent buoyancy as well as protection from exposure to cold temperature, wind, sea spray and rain.

Securing The MSD901 In Emergency Situations 1. General - In the event of immersion, the MSD901 has a number of emergency features that are crucial to your survival. 2. Neck Seal - After entering the water, tighten the patented neck seal by grasping the drawstring and pulling the tabs out and away from the neck until a snug, comfortable fit is achieved.
Maintenance And Care 1. General After use and immersion in water (other than fresh clean water), the suit modules should be either washed or rinsed separately. To increase the life of the garment, it is recommended to wash the suit only when required. For spot cleaning of the exterior when assembled, hand wash the suit in fresh water (100˚F or less) using a mild powdered soap solution, then hang to air dry.
l) Unzip the waterproof zipper around the waist circumference and fold the suit open to expose the upper and lower waist interconnection zippers. m) Unzip the upper and lower waist interconnection zippers. n) Unzip the upper and lower interconnection zippers adjacent to the waterproof relief zipper.
Inspection General Suit Examination Periodically examine your MSD901 for visual signs of abrasion or damage. Lay the suit out on a clean, flat surface. Make sure that the suit is dry inside and out. Visually check for small rips, tears, or punctures that can be repaired by a suitable repair station*. Major rips, tears, or punctures should be referred to Mustang Survival for inspection and repair.
Check for ease of zipper operation by sliding it up and down. Using lubricant recommended by Mustang Survival (see page 13), lubricate the front and back of the zipper and the slide fastener. If the zipper is not functional, the suit must be removed from service and discarded or returned to Mustang Survival for repair.
SUSPENDERS (MA7650) Suspenders are not required when using the MSD901, unless sizing dictates. However, properly attached suspenders may improve the fit and mobility. The MSD901 is equipped with attachment loops, on the Immersion Module, that accommodate the suspender system. Remove and re-attach as required.
d) Pass the suspender strap through the front and back pass-through slots on the Thermal Liner. While keeping the strap straight, attach the non-adjusting end of a suspender to the suit’s back attachment point (Fig. 21). Should be similar to Step c.

wrists should try to make the wrist seal fit properly further up the arm where the sealing surface is smooth. NOTE: Once the wrist seal is trimmed, it may not provide an adequate seal for a smaller wrist. Required materials: Ruler, sharp scissors and talcum powder. See below for trim to fit wrist seal instructions for used suits.
