OWNER’S MANUAL

Model 1189 Model 1193 w/harness

I. APPROVAL CONDITIONS and CARRIAGE REQUIREMENTS

Inflatable PFD Model No. 1189 is approved by the U.S. Coast Guard for use as Type III Personal Flotation Device (PFD) and Model No. 1193 is approved as Type V Personal Flotation Device (PFD) with Type

IIIperformance because the harness with it can cause injury if not properly used.

Inflatable PFD’s are not approved for water skiing or other high impact, high-speed activities. This inflatable was designed to be more comfortable and less restrictive to wear than inherently buoyant PFDs. When worn, used and serviced according to this owner’s manual, this PFD can greatly increase your chances of survival in the water. Not recommended for non-swimmers or weak swimmers. Users of inflatable PFDs must be at least 16 years old.

PLEASE SEE IMPORTANT SIZING, FIT AND USE INFORMATION FOR SAILING HARNESS ON PAGES 3 AND 4. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS COULD RESULT IN INJURY OR DEATH.
