6 DONNING and INFLATION INSTRUCTIONS After completing the pre-donning check, follow these instructions to don, inflate and adjust the PFD for maximum performance. 1. Loosen Shoulder Straps. Insert left arm between back strap and deflated vest (See fig.1). Pull vest on over your head (See fig.2). Pull buckle to front so you can see it. Buckle and adjust by pulling on free end of the belt. Secure the excess strap by tucking it under the belt. Always position the belt with the center window in front. The Velcro® opening should be on the bottom. The “Jerk to Inflate” lanyard should be hanging downward. Adjust Shoulder Straps to a comfortable fit. 2. Pull down on the “Jerk to Inflate lanyard to inflate chamber. Step 2 – Jerk tab to Inflate. Step 1 – Snap buckle, snug waist strap. 3. Grasp the neck adjustment strap tucked under the inflated chamber. Slip the strap (located at the center of the chamber) over your head. Step 3 – Put webbing over head. 7 Donning and Inflation Instructions – cont’d 4. Adjust the length of the neck strap for desired comfort and head support. Pull down on the adjustment strap to tighten, or lift up the plastic slide to loosen. Shoulder Straps may need to be Loosened to adjust Waist Strap. 5. After CO2 inflation, the performance of the PFD may be satisfactory without further action. However, higher buoyancy is easily available through second stage inflation. Using the oral inflation tube, you may top off buoyancy to the desired level. 8 Step 4 – Adjust neck strap. Step 5 – Oral Inflate. MAXIMIZING PERFORMANCE Why should someone do this? It is important to learn how to use this PFD in the water. Try your PFD in the water before attempting to use it in deep water or in an emergency to find out what position and adjustments provide the best support for you. It is important, especially in cold water and wave conditions, to get your head out of the water as much as possible. Doing this will reduce the amount of heat loss through your head, (see "Hypothermia", Pages 19 and 20), improve your ability to see around you to identify any sources of rescue and to keep your mouth out of the water as much as possible to reduce the chance of inhaling water. Most, but perhaps not all people, will be able to get their heads completely out of the water by placing their bodies in a near vertical position and float with their arms extended out over the top of the chamber (see figure 1 below). Once in the water with the PFD inflated, you should be able to float comfortably on your back (see figure 2 below). You may find it more comfortable to loosen the body strap slightly, without unbuckling it, and let it slide up to your chest. Then, orally add more air to the chamber if necessary and readjust the neck strap to provide head support. You may find that positioning the neck strap in various locations on your neck or even the back of your head, will provide better head support. 9 DEFLATION INSTRUCTIONS Deflating may be accomplished by inserting the deflation tool located on the dust cap into the end of the oral inflation tube while gently squeezing the inflation chamber. Reposition the dust cap over the end of the inflation tube after deflating to help protect the valve inside. DO NOT TWIST OR WRING INFLATABLE CHAMBER TO DEFLATE. If for any reason the oral valve remains open, depress it several times. If it does not release, discontinue use of this PFD and return to Stearns Inc for repair. In an emergency situation, hold thumb over the valve if it will not close. 10 REARMING INSTRUCTIONS STEP 1 Unscrew used CO2 cylinder in a counterclockwise direction and immediately discard. Do not insert new cylinder at this time. To avoid confusion later in the rearming process, we suggest you throw away the old CO2 cylinder now. STEP 2 Close manual inflator arm within inflator body and carefully insert a new green indicator tab so that it fully covers the red semi-circle on the body. STEP 3 Look into threaded cylinder receiver and view the gasket. If worn, contact Stearns Inc. (1-800STEARNS) for the nearest certified Stearns Repair Facility. 11 REARMING INSTRUCTIONS (cont.) Step 4 Inspect the face of the new cylinder. Be sure it is smooth and has no holes or scratches. There is a gross weight on the cylinder. If you have any questions about cylinder integrity, weigh the cylinder on a small scale, such as a postage scale. Compare the weight printed on the cylinder to the actual weight. If they do not match, get another cylinder. STEP 5 Screw new cylinder in a clockwise direction firmly into the inflator. Do not over-tighten, but ensure the fit is tight. STEP 6 Check the inflator arming indicator every boating trip. The indicator and cylinder tightness tell you if there is a need for service. Check the cylinder face regularly to ensure it is not punctured. Be sure cylinder is screwed in tight. 12 REPACKING INSTRUCTIONS Always dry out, deflate the PFD and rearm the inflation mechanism. Follow REARMING instructions prior to R...
