NOTE TO UNINSPECTED COMMERCIAL VESSEL OPERATORS
The operator of the vessel is required to provide the following user information to each person on board.
Inflatable PFDs will not provide any buoyancy without being inflated. Follow these instructions to be sure your PFD is armed and donned correctly, and that you understand how to inflate the device.
Basic visual inspection for readiness, see p. 6
Inflation system status check, see p. 6
Donning, see p. 6
Inflation, see p. 8
WHY ARE PFDS REQUIRED SAFETY EQUIPMENT?
Drownings are the leading cause of fatalities involving recreational and commercial vessels. A PFD provides flotation to help keep your head above water, help you to stay face up in the water, and increase your chances for survival and rescue. Most adults only need an extra 7 to 12 lb (3.2 to 5.5 kg) of flotation to keep their heads above water. The
proper size PFD will properly support the weight of the wearer.
Since this Inflatable PFD does not have inherent buoyancy, it provides flotation only when inflated. Familiarize yourself with the use of this Inflatable PFD so you know what to do in an emergency.
