Coast Guard for use as a Type III Personal Flotation Device (PFD). It is not approved for water skiing or other high impact, high speed activities. This inflatable PFD was designed to be more comfortable and less restrictive to wear than inherently buoyant PFDs. When worn, used and serviced according to this owner’s manual, this PFD can greatly increase your chances of survival in the water. Not recommended for non-swimmers or weak swimmers. Users of inflatable PFDs must be at least 16 years old. I. MANDATORY CARRIAGE REQUIREMENTS Federal regulations in 33 CFR 175-1993 require you to carry Coast Guard approved personal flotation devices (PFDs) legibly marked with the Coast Guard approval number which are in good and serviceable condition and are the correct size for each person on board. To be considered serviceable, this PFD shall not exhibit deterioration that could diminish its performance such as broken or deformed hardware, detached webbing, rotted structural components, air leaks, or non-functional oral inflation tube. Unless worn inflated, this PFD must also be properly armed with a full CO2 cylinder, inflation system status indicator and an accessible manual inflation lanyard. A PFD which is “approved only when worn” or “required to be worn” must be worn under the specified conditions. 2 SPECIFICATIONS Chest Size: Adult Small/Medium – 30 - 42 inches (76 - 107 cm) Adult Large/X-Large – 44 - 48 inches (112 - 122 cm) Weight Range: More than 90 pounds (41 kg) Age Range: 16 years of age and older Buoyancy (minimum): 33.7 Pounds (150 Newtons) when fully inflated Inflation System: Manual Inflation Mechanism (located on your right side) Oral Tube - (located on your left side) Jerk to Inflate Tab - (located on your right side) used to manually activate the inflation mechanism and inflate the PFD. CO2 Cylinder: 33 gram with cylinder seal indicator. Indicators: For the PFD to be fully armed, a cylinder must be inserted into the mechanism and the cylinder seal indicator must be Green. •• USE REARMING KIT # 33MRK •• DONNING INSTRUCTIONS Practice closing hardware and adjusting before use or prior to in-water testing. INFLATED DONNING - Depress oral inflation tube valve located on left side of chamber until the chamber is mostly deflated. Don as described above and reinflate with the oral tube until firm. 1. Inspect arming mechanism and cylinder - if RED, service mechanism. Don like a jacket, with buckle centered in front, with “Jerk to Inflate” handle at lower right. 2. Snap buckle at center front. 3. Adjust side straps to a snug fit. Donning Instructions - Jerk to Inflate Tab Created: 2006-10-19 3 II. INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE A. PRE-DONNING INSTRUCTIONS CHECK THE FOLLOWING BEFORE USING THIS PFD: 1. INSPECT PFD FOR DAMAGE 2. BE SURE A CYLINDER IS INSERTED INTO THE MECHANISM AND CYLINDER SEAL INDICATOR IS GREEN READ BELOW FOR MORE DETAILED INFORMATION! 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 8.) 2. How to Inspect the Mechanism and Cylinder The mechanism is located on your right side under the protective cover. Before inspecting the mechanism remove the CO2 cylinder to prevent unnecessary discharge. The CO2 cylinder contains the gas charge that will inflate your PFD when the inflation mechanism is fired. You must verify that the CO2 cylinder installed is of the correct size specification and has not been previously fired. See the SPECIFICATIONS section on page 3 of this manual to determine proper size cylinder. Be sure that an undamaged cylinder is inserted into the mechanism and that the cylinder seal indicator shows GREEN. If the indicator shows RED, replace with a new cylinder following the rearming instructions on back cover. Additional Notes on CO2 Cylinders: a. FAILURE to properly rearm the inflation mechanism prior to installing the CO2 Cylinder will result in premature activation of the cylinder. b. CO2 Cylinders are only good for one (1) inflation and cannot be recharged. 4 c. CO2 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 CO2 Cylinder may start to show some signs of rusting. If this occurs, replace the CO2 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.
