c. CO

Cylinders are made with a protective coating that may wear off

after a period of use or exposure to the environment. When this

coating is worn off, the CO

Cylinder may start to show some signs of

rusting. If this occurs, replace the CO

Cylinder.

d. If a gram scale (such as a postal scale) is available, it is recommended

to weigh the cylinder to verify that it meets the minimum weight

imprinted on the cylinder.

B. REARMING AND INDICATOR CHECK INSTRUCTIONS

The back cover of this manual provides the REARMING/STATUS

INSTRUCTIONS for the mechanism on your PFD.

C. DONNING INSTRUCTIONS

See Page 3 for pictogram instruction. After donning, locate the Jerk to

Inflate tab for the mechanism. It should protrude from the PFD as shown

on the pictogram. Make sure that you are comfortable locating the Jerk

to Inflate tab with either hand. Should an emergency develop, be pre-

pared to use it! Always wear your PFD over, not under clothing.

Caution - Bulky clothing may affect the ability of this PFD to turn the

wearer to a face-up position in the water.

D. INFLATED DONNING INSTRUCTIONS

Inflatable PFDs can be very difficult to don when fully inflated. Deflate

through the Oral Tube until enough gas has escaped to don. See

DEFLATION INSTRUCTIONS on Page 6. Don as described above and

re-inflate orally as described below.

E. INFLATION INSTRUCTIONS

See Pages 9-11 for additional information on testing and inflating your

PFD.

1. MANUAL INFLATION - To inflate, grasp the Jerk to Inflate tab and

pull sharply downwards.

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 CO

permeance (normal loss of cylinder gas

over extended period of time), Oral Inflation will be necessary to

maintain full buoyancy. Whenever you orally inflate the PFD it would

be good practice to remove the CO

cylinder prior to inflating.
