INFLATABLE PERSONAL FLOTATION DEVICE
WHILE NOT WEARING
•
Place PFD face up on a flat surface free of clutter
• Locate oral tube and remove its cap
• Turn cap over, using pointed end to press into valve. This creates the
outlet for pressure release (Fig. 11)
• Continuing to press cap end (which keeps your outlet open), use
other hand and forearms to gently flatten the PFD as much as you
can – always moving toward your outlet (Fig. 12).
• To further flatten, let go of the outlet so you can use both hands to
roll the material. You will be creating areas of high pressure and then
releasing that pressure through the outlet:
- Roll material tightly from top of PFD to create a high pressure
area in the bottom.
- Holding your roll in place (usually easiest with your forearm),
open your outlet again (press cap end into valve) to release
pressure.
- Now roll material from the bottom in the same way, creating a
high pressure area in the top end of your PFD. Holding roll in
place, again open your outlet to release remaining pressure.
