HOW DO YOU TEST YOUR PFD USING THE AUTOMATIC INFLATOR?

2)Put on the Inflatable Vest with LIFTTM.

3)Get into shallow water, just deep enough that you can stand with your head above the surface. Once the inflator is underwater, 4 inches or so, the Inflatable Vest with LIFTTM should fully inflate automatically within 5 seconds.

4)See if the Inflatable Vest with LIFTTM will float you on your back or just slightly back of vertical. In a relaxed floating position, verify that your mouth is well above the water’s surface. Note the effect of where you hold your legs on how you float.

5)Get out of the water and remove the Inflatable Vest with LIFTTM.

6)Deflate the Inflatable Vest with LIFTTM by depressing the oral inflator valve (see Deflation p. 10). Remove the used inflator.

7)Let the Inflatable Vest with LIFTTM dry thoroughly. Re-arm (p. 11) and Repack the PFD (p. 17).
