Product Manual

7. Never use in below freezing temperatures unless worn partly

inflated. At or below 40°F inflation time with CO2 gas will be

longer. Wearing a partially inflated PFD under these

conditions will provide some initial buoyancy while the PFD

fully inflates.

Caution: Do not fully inflate orally and then 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.

III. CARE AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

A. GENERAL PRODUCT LIFE EXPECTANCY

The reliability and service life of this PFD depends greatly upon

how it is used and cared for. Avoid storing PFD in direct sunlight.

Sunlight contains ultraviolet radiation that weakens synthetic

materials. Prolonged exposures to high temperatures and high

humidity may shorten service life of this PFD. While it is known

that these elements degrade the materials, every use

environment is unique so there is no sure way to estimate how

long the PFD will last. It is for this reason that you must follow the

Care and Cleaning Instructions and perform the maintenance and

service checks. This will assure that the PFD remains functional

and will maximize the useful life of this PFD. Failure to follow these

instructions rigorously could result in a non-functioning PFD

causing injury or death.

B. CARE AND CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS

Drying - If the device is wet, place on a coat hanger to allow

thorough drying. Do not place in direct sunlight to dry. Do not use

any heat source or place on radiator.

Cleaning - Damp wipe only with mild detergent recommended for

synthetic fabrics. Remove grease and oil immediately. Always

rinse well with fresh water. Read instructions provided on the

device.
