I.APPROVAL CONDITIONS and CARRIAGE REQUIREMENTS This inflatable belt is approved by the U S Coast Guard as a Type V User Assisted Personal Flotation Device (PFD). It is APPROVED ONLY WHEN WORN for use as a Flotation Aid, Type III PFD for recreational use on calm inland waters. It is not approved for water skiing or other high-speed activity. This inflatable was designed to be more comfortable and less restrictive to wear than inherently buoyant PFDs. When used and serviced according to this owner’s manual, this personal flotation device (PFD) can greatly increase your chances of survival. Not recommended for non-swimmers or weak swimmers. Users of inflatable PFDs must be at least 16 years of age.

See Page 3 for Conditions for Type V Approval.

WEAR YOUR PFD! Most drowned victims of boating accidents owned PFDs, but were not wearing them when they died. Most drowning occurs in inland waters, not way out at sea, and most within a few feet of safety. If you DO NOT intend to wear this PFD, then SELECT ONE that you will. Doing this provides feedback to manufacturer's, as to what makes a PFD wearable.
