WHAT IS AN INFLATABLE FLOTATION DEVICE?
While traditional flotation devices are inherently buoyant, this
flotation device relies entirely on inflation for buoyancy. Uninflated,
your device is designed to offer maximum mobility with minimum
bulk.
The MIT 70
is a comfortable slim collar that can be inflated
at any time with a 17-gram carbon dioxide (CO
2
) gas cylinder to
provide at least 70 Newtons (15.7 lbs) buoyancy.
The MD4031
model
can be inflated either manually by jerking a pull-tab or
orally (by mouth).
The MD4032 model
can be inflated either
automatically during water immersion, manually by jerking a
pull-tab, or orally (by mouth). We recommend that you familiarize
yourself with your device as described in “Instructions for Use,”
page 4.
