5. Other Inflation Precautions

•Cautio n : Do not fully inflate orally then manually or

automatically 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.

•Never inflate this PFD with a Pump or Air-Compressor.

•Permeation loss is greater when the device is inflated with

CO2 than with air, and earlier replenishment by means of the oral inflation system will therefore be necessary.
