INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your purchase of the Mustang Survival Rescue Stick™, which provides rapid
flotation assistance to a person at risk of drowning. Simply remove the baton shaped Rescue
Stick™ from its protective container and throw near the victim. Once contact is made with the
water, it inflates in seconds to a large horseshoe shape, providing 35lbs of buoyancy, keeping a
person afloat and their head above water until help arrives.

WARNING: Do not attempt to use or service this product until you read and
completely understand the owner's manual. Only a qualified service technician
should perform service or repairs, other than those found in this manual.

The Rescue Stick™ is a portable water rescue flotation device that you throw to provide emergency
flotation to a conscious victim. When the Rescue Stick™ is thrown into the water, it automatically
inflates into a flotation device.

Measuring only 14” in length and weighing less than 1 lb, the Rescue Stick™ is the most compact
water rescue tool available. Easily stowed in a boat, vehicle, backpack or by the pool so that it will
be accessible when and where you need it.
