For your Inflatable PFD to function properly, follow these suggestions to
verify that it fits, floats, and remains in good condition.
1) Check the inflation mechanism status indicators before each use.
2) Get in the habit of re-arming the inflation mechanism right after
each inflation.
3) Try your wearable Inflatable PFD on and adjust it until it fits
comfortably in and out of the water.
4) Mark your Inflatable PFD with your name if you are the only wearer.
5) Do not alter your Inflatable PFD. If it doesn’t fit properly, get one that
does. An altered device is no longer Coast Guard approved.
6) Your Inflatable PFD is not intended for use as a fender or kneeling
pad.
7) If your
Inflatable PFD is wet, allow it to dry thoroughly before storing
it. Store it in a well-ventilated area.

of direct heat.
