HOW DO YOU TEST YOUR PFD USING THE AUTOMATIC INFLATOR?

The U.S.Coast Guard recommends that you purchase at least one spare re-arming kit (MA7214).

1)To test your Inflatable PFD, you will need your fully armed Inflatable PFD, and re-arming kit (MA7214) approved for your Inflatable PFD

2)Put on the Inflatable PFD.

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 PFD should fully inflate automatically within 5 seconds.

4)See if the Inflatable PFD 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 PFD.

6)Deflate the Inflatable PFD by depressing the oral inflator valve (see Deflating the Inflatable PFD p. 7). Remove the used inflator.

7)Let the Inflatable PFD dry thoroughly. Re-arm (p. 9) and Repack the PFD (p. 13).
