5.0 About Your PFD
Your REVERE COMFORT MAX
TM
BELT PACK inflatable personal floatation
device (PFD) consists of an inflatable air-holding chamber, an inflation system,
and a storage pouch. The PFD is designed to be lightweight and comfortable
so it can be worn deflated and around your waist while on your boat. The stor-
age pouch keeps the deflated chamber packed securely allowing you to per-
form activities without interference. The PFD provides no buoyancy unless it is
inflated.
Model 61098 is a manually activated PFD. It has a carbon dioxide (CO
2
) cylin-
der and its activating mechanism, as well as an oral tube to blow air into the
chamber in the event of failure of the inflator mechanism. The PFD is inflated
by pulling down hard on the yellow handle marked "JERK" on the right hand
side of the pouch. This causes the PFD's CO
2
inflation mechanism to puncture
a self-contained carbon dioxide cylinder and discharge this harmless gas into
the inflatable chamber. The chamber then inflates and bursts from the storage
pouch. You do
NOT need to open the pouch or remove the chamber.
Once out of the pouch, the inflated chamber is placed over your head and worn
about your neck. It can be adjusted to fit the wearer by using the center adjust-
ment strap. The oral inflation tube provided can be used for topping the PFD off
by mouth. After use, the inflation system can be rearmed, a new CO
2
cylinder
installed, and the PFD can be repacked to be used again and again.
The PFD is also equipped with retro-reflective tape panels for better visibility at
night.
