REPACKING YOUR PFD
If your PFD has been used and/or the inflator replaced, always
inflate through the oral tube and check that it stays inflated at least
overnight. With the cap in the top of the oral tube, gently squeeze
the PFD until all air or gas has been expelled (Fig. 6 on p. 8). Do
not wring or twist the PFD. Put the oral tube cap back in its stowed
position on the oral tube (Fig. 7 on p. 8). Let the PFD dry before
packing.
BEFORE FOLLOWING THE REPACKING SEQUENCE, BE SURE TO PROPERLY RE-ARM
YOUR INFLATABLE PFD (SEE RE-ARMING YOUR PFD, P. 9). ENSURE ALL AIR IS
REMOVED BEFORE REPACKING.
1. Lay the PFD on a flat, clean surface (Fig. 18).
