Cleaning and Storing of Your Inflatable PFD (MD3075)

To clean your Inflatable PFD, remove the CO2 cylinder/bayonet assembly. Hand wash or sponge down the Inflatable PFD, including inflator, in warm, soapy water and rinse with clean water. Hang to dry on a plastic coat hanger. Be sure to replace CO2 cylinder/bayonet assembly. See Re-arming your PFD (MD3075) (p. 6).

Always store your Inflatable PFD in a warm, dry place out of direct sunlight.

WHY ARE PFDS REQUIRED SAFETY EQUIPMENT?

Drownings are the leading cause of fatalities involving recreational boating. 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 pounds 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.
