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

Inflate your Inflatable Vest with LIFTTM and try it out in the water to:

·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.
