about the readiness of your Inflatable PFD.
Sizing and Fit
This PFD provides a minimum of 33.7 lbs of buoyancy when inflated and
is designed for wearers over 16 years of age, with a chest range of 30-52
inches (76-112 cm) weighing over 80 pounds (36 kg).
Donning Instructions
It is important that the Inflatable PFD is properly adjusted to fit the
person wearing it. An incorrect fit or improper fastening of attachments
could impede its effectiveness.
1) All belts and straps are already threaded correctly and only need to
be adjusted for fit.
For the non-harness model MD3183, the belt should fit below your
rib cage adjusted to a tight personal fit.
For the harness model MD3184, the bottom of the belt must always
be worn at least 2 inches (5 cm) above the lowest rib and adjusted
to a tight personal fit.
2) Put the Inflatable PFD on just like a jacket (Fig. 3) and fasten the
front buckle. Adjust the waist belt using the side buckle on the belt
and secure the belt’s loose end in the belt loop.
WARNING: Do not wear Inflatable PFDs under clothing as the
inflation could be restricted or you could be injured.
