You should replace the CO2 cylinder on your inflatable PFD (personal flotation device) after each use, especially if it has been activated. Additionally, regularly inspect the cylinder for signs of corrosion, damage, or a low pressure indicator, and replace it if any issues are found. It's also advisable to replace the cylinder according to the manufacturer’s guidelines, typically every 2-3 years, even if it hasn't been used. Always ensure you have a fully charged and functional CO2 cylinder before using the PFD.
