OTHER USE GUIDE LINES -
STUDY this manual and practice using your belt to become thoroughly familiar with its features and operation. Your inflatable PFD will not provide buoyancy until you inflate it. See Pages 17 and 18 for testing your PFD.
ALWAYS
NEVER wear inside clothing that can restrict expansion.
NEVER inflate in a tightly confined space.
NEVER inflate with any type of pump.
NEVER actuate with CO2 inflator if the belt is already fully inflated.
NEVER use in below freezing temperatures unless worn partly inflated. At or below 40 ºF inflation time with CO2 gas will be longer. Wearing a partially inflated PFD under these conditions will provide some initial buoyancy while the PFD fully inflates. Caution: Do not fully inflate orally and then inflate with the CO2 cylinder. Repeated CO2 inflation after oral inflation will damage the PFD to the point that it will not hold air or float.
AVOID contact with sharp objects.
AVOID exposure to extreme heat (140 ºF or higher).
Failure to heed the above cautions may result in personal
injury or death.
