IS YOUR PFD IN GOOD AND SERVICEABLE
CONDITION?
Check your Inflatable PFD between outings to be sure that it is
properly armed; that it is free of rips, tears or holes; that all seams are
securely sewn; and that the fabric, straps and hardware are still strong
(see "Readiness Checklist" on page 3). Inspect the inflatable
portion of the Inflatable PFD in accordance with the CARE AND
MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS.
