Cleaning and Storing

To avoid inflation, do not submerge the Inflatable Vest with LIFTTM or directly spray the inflator. Hand wash or sponge down the Inflatable PFD in warm, soapy water. Rinse the PFD and inflator with clean water, using a clean rinse cloth. Hang the Inflatable Vest with LIFTTM to dry on a plastic coat hanger. Do not dry clean.

Always store your Inflatable Vest with LIFTTM in a warm, dry place out of direct sunlight.

HOW AND WHY TO TEST YOUR PFD

·Make sure it floats you:

•Comfortably (when worn properly)

•Adequately for expected wave conditions (body shapes/ densities affect performance)

·Make sure it works:

•A flow of bubbles should not appear (see CARE AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS for leak tests p. 24). It should inflate quick and easily.
