Donning Instructions
It is important that your PFD is properly adjusted to fit you. An incorrect fit or improper fastening of the belt or
attachments may impede its performance.
The waist belt fastening system is sewn on and it utilises a quick release buckle for fastening and has an
adjustable mechanism to fit an average person properly.
Figure 7
Put the Inflatable PFD on just like a jacket as depicted by Figure 7 and fasten the front buckle. Adjust the waist belt
using the side release buckle on the belt and secure the belt’s loose end in the belt loop.
This is a constant wear PFD and it is recommended that you are familiar with the donning instructions .It is very
important that you wear your Inflatable PFD over a clothing.
If crotch strops are attached pull these through your legs in a crossover style and attached to the buckles at the
base of the PFD lobes.
