Tuck the labels back into the inflator pocket and refasten the
Velcro ™ fastener tapes at the bottom of the flotation device.

Check for damage or excessive abrasion, wear, tear and/or any
visible foreign matter, such as mildew or oil stains. Check that all
seams are secure, and all straps and hardware are sound. If you see
any signs of damage, perform the “Every 2 months tests, described
in the Care and Maintenance section (p. 14).
FIGURE 5
USE AT COLD TEMPERATURES
As temperatures approach freezing the inflatable portion of your
flotation device will provide less buoyancy and will inflate more
slowly. The oral inflator can then be used to adequately top up the
flotation device after CO
2
inflation.
CAUTION: DO NOT FULLY INFLATE THE DEVICE ORALLY AND THEN ACTIVATE THE CO
2
CYLINDER. THE RESULTING OVERPRESSURE COULD SERIOUSLY DAMAGE THE DEVICE
RESULTING IN LOSS OF FLOTATION.
Flotation devices including inflation are not recommended for use in
temperatures below freezing.
