when inflated and is designed for wearers over 16 years of age, with a
chest range of 76–132 cm (30–52 in) weighing over 36 kg (80 lbs).
Donning Instructions
It is important that the Inflatable PfD is properly adjusted to fit
the person wearing it. An incorrect fit or improper fastening of
attachments could impede its effectiveness.
1) All belts and straps are already threaded correctly and only need
to be adjusted for fit. The MD3071 waist belt should fit securely
below your rib cage.
2) Put the Inflatable PfD on just like a standard waist belt pack, and
fasten the front buckle. Adjust waist belt to a snug, comfortable
fit, and secure the belt’s loose end in the belt loop. Do not wear
Inflatable PfD under clothing, as the inflation could be restricted,
or you could be injured (fig.2, Step 1 and 2).
WARNING: Do not wear Inflatable PFDs under clothing as
the inflation could be restricted or you could be injured.
Deployment and Use of the PFD (Fig2, Step 3-6)
