INFLATION INSTRUCTIONS
See Pages 12
1.Manual Inflation - To inflate, grasp the Jerk to Inflate tab and pull sharply downward.
2.Oral Inflation - The Oral Tube is located on the wearer's left side. Grasp the Oral Tube and bring to mouth. Blow air through the Oral Tube until the Inflatable Chamber is firm. If the chamber becomes soft due to CO2 permeance, Oral Inflation will be necessary to maintain full buoyancy. Whenever you orally inflate the PFD it would be a good practice to remove the CO2 cylinder prior to inflating.
3.Cold Inflation - Oral Inflation may be required in addition to manual inflation if chamber is not firm due to cold temperatures at or below 40° F (4° C). Inflation time using CO2 gas will be longer at these temperatures. See FREEZING TEMPERATURES on Page 9.
4.Other Inflation Precautions
•Caution: Do not fully inflate orally then manually 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
•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 be necessary after several hours.
