/ OWNER'S MANUAL –

INFLATABLE PERSONAL FLOTATION DEVICE

HOW TO TEST YOUR PFD USING THE MANUAL INFLATOR

1. To test your inflatable PFD using manual inflation, you will need your

fully armed PFD, and the re-arm kit approved for your PFD.

2. Put on your PFD.

3. Actuate the inflation system by jerking firmly on the pull handle.

Your PFD should fully inflate within 5 seconds.

4. Get into shallow water, just deep enough that you can stand with

your head above the surface.

5. See if your PFD will float you on your back or just slightly back of

vertical. In a relaxed floating position, verify that your mouth is well
above the water’s surface. Note the effect of where you hold your
legs on how you float.

6. Get out of the water and remove your PFD. Completely deflate the

PFD using the oral inflator (p. 17).

7. Let the PFD dry thoroughly, Re-arm (p. 19), and Repack

(p. 24) the PFD.

WEAR YOUR PFD

In approximately 80 percent of all boating fatalities, the victims were
not wearing a PFD. Most fatal accidents happen on calm sunny days.

This inflatable PFD is much more comfortable to wear than other PFD
types. Get into the habit of wearing this PFD.

Non-swimmers and children especially should wear a hybrid or non-
inflatable PFD at all times when on or near the water.
