to complete inflation without touching bottom, either orally or manually. Note this level of inflation because it is the minimum needed for you to safely use this Inflatable Vest with LIFTTM.

5)Fully inflate the Inflatable Vest with LIFTTM using the oral inflator. It may be neccessary to manually release the VelcroTM tabs for full inflation because oral inflation may not provide sufficient pressure to open the tabs.

6)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 and how you float.

7)Get out of the water and remove the Inflatable Vest with LIFTTM. Completely deflate the Inflatable Vest with LIFTTM using the oral inflator (see Deflation p. 10).

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

Re-assemble inflation system parts and repack the Inflatable Vest with

LIFTTM.

WEAR YOUR PFD

In approximately 80 percent of all boating fatalities, the victims were not wearing a PFD. Most fatal accidents happen on calm sunny days. This inflatable PFD is much more comfortable to wear than other PFD types. Get into the habit of wearing this PFD.

Non-swimmers and children especially should wear a hybrid or non-inflatable PFD at all times when on or near the water.
