1. Inspecting Your PFD For Damage
Make sure that the PFD is free from rips, tears or punctures. This
type of damage on the outside covering indicates that the
Inflatable Chamber may have been exposed to potentially
damaging elements. If these defects are noticed, discontinue use
of the PFD until you have the PFD inspected by an authorized
repair facility. The Inflatable Chamber should be checked for
leaks at the beginning of each season and at least every two
months during the boating season. The leak test procedure is
described under USER'S INSPECTION. (Refer to Page 10.)
2. Examine the INFLATION MECHANISM Status
Indicators. The Inflation Mechanism Status Indicators will tell
you if the inflation mechanism is properly ARMED/REARMED and
ready for use. The status indicator check instructions are provided
on the device near the inflation mechanism. Refer to Page 19 for
location of inflation mechanism. Manual inflator has a single
indicator for the Jerk to Inflate Lever.
The color of all Status Indicators have standard meaning:
GREEN = OK = READY
RED = NOT READY = SEE REARMING INSTRUCTIONS
(Back Cover)
All status indicators must be green for the mechanism to be
properly reset. If any indicator is red, immediately REARM. See
Back Cover for instructions.
