General - When fully inflated, this Inflatable PFD will provide Type III
in-water performance. This Inflatable PFD will turn most wearers from a
face down to a face up position and provide support suitable for offshore
conditions. See page 13 for re-arming instructions.
Inflatable PFDs are not approved for water skiing or other 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.
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 nonfunctional oral
inflation tube. Unless worn inflated, this PFD must also be properly
armed with a full CO

cylinder, inflation system status indicator, and a
manual inflation pull-tab accessible outside the user’s right front panel
cover (Fig. 1). The chest buckle, on the Inflatable Vest with LIFT
