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.
