5. Other Inflation Precautions
•
C a u t i o n
: Do not fully inflate orally then manually or
automatically inflate with the CO
2
cylinder. Repeated CO
2
inflation after oral inflation will damage the PFD to the point
that it will not hold air or float.
•
Never inflate this PFD with a Pump or Air-Compressor.
•
Permeation loss is greater when the device is inflated with
CO
2
than with air, and earlier replenishment by means of the
oral inflation system will therefore be necessary.
