INFLATABLE PFD

General

– When fully inflated, this inflatable PFD will provide Type II

in-water performance. This PFD will turn most wearers from a face
down to a face up position and provide support suitable for offshore
conditions. This PFD must be in good and serviceable condition
including properly armed with a full CO

2

cylinder, inflation system

status indicator, and an accessible manual inflation lanyard.

MANDATORY CARRIAGE REQUIREMENTS

Federal regulations in 33 CFR 175-1993 require you to carry USCG-
approved personal flotation devices (PFDs) legibly marked with
the USCG-approval number which are in good and serviceable
condition and are the correct size for each person on board. To
be considered serviceable, this PFD shall not exhibit deterioration
that could diminish its performance such as broken or deformed
hardware, detached webbing, rotted structural components, air leaks,
or nonfunctional oral inflation tube. This PFD must also be properly
armed with a full CO

2

cylinder, inflation system status indicator, and

an accessible manual inflation lanyard. A PFD which is “approved
only when worn” or “required to be worn” must be worn under the
specified conditions.

NOTE TO COMMERCIAL VESSEL OPERATORS

The operator of the vessel must note that this PFD is NOT approved
for use by passengers and is advised to tell passengers which PFDs
are and are not suitable for their use during any passenger safety
orientation (reference 46 CFR 26.03-1 and 46 CFR 122.506).

WHAT IS AN INFLATABLE PFD?

While traditional PFDs are inherently buoyant, inflatable PFDs
rely entirely on inflation for buoyancy. Uninflated, this PFD is a
comfortable slim collar that can be inflated at any time with a
33-gram CO

2

gas cylinder. The PFD is designed to offer maximum

mobility with minimum bulk. It can be inflated either automatically by
water immersion, manually by jerking a pull-tab, or orally by mouth.
It is recommended that you familiarize yourself with the procedures
outlined in the “Instructions for Use” on the following page.
