INFLATABLE PFD
INFLATABLE PFDS
Inflatable personal flotation devices (PFDs) are special devices
in that the flotation of the wearer is not derived from inherently
buoyant materials. In order for them to do their job, you, the wearer,
must do yours! This means you have the responsibility to ensure
you are familiar with the operation and maintenance requirements
of your inflatable PFD! You must also be aware of the limitations of
the device and know that it is not approved under the Small Vessel
Regulations for certain boating activities.
READ YOUR OWNER’S MANUAL AND THE INFORMATION LABELS ON YOUR PFD!
IT COULD SAVE YOUR LIFE!
