Inflating Your PFD

It is recommended that the following procedures are followed to inflate your PFD:

1)Manual inflation

Actuate the inflation system by jerking firmly downward on the pull tab. The PFD should fully inflate within 5 seconds (Fig. 3a).

2)Oral inflation

Properly armed and inspected, manual inflatable PFD models will inflate. However, should inflation not occur, or in a non-emergency situation, you can fully inflate the PFD by mouth (Fig. 3b). To orally inflate the PFD, first pull on the yellow strap to bring out the bladder and locate the oral inflation tube on the wearer’s left front panel of the PFD. Then remove the dust cap from the end of the oral tube and blow into the tube until the PFD is fully inflated.
