INFLATING YOUR PFD
AUTOMATICALLY INFLATING YOUR PFD
Automatic inflation will occur when the inflator is submerged in more
than 4 inches in the water.
MANUALLY INFLATING YOUR PFD
To manually activate the inflation system, firmly grasp the pull handle
(Fig. 5) and quickly pull away from the body until the inflator activates.

ORALLY INFLATING YOUR PFD
To orally inflate your PFD, first access the oral inflation tube by
opening the cover on your left side, starting at the top. Grasp the
tube, pull it towards your mouth, and blow into the tube to inflate
(Fig. 6). A valve will automatically open and close during inflation to
prevent air leakage
IMPORTANT: DOUBLE INFLATION
DO NOT MANUALLY ACTIVATE THE INFLATOR WHEN
YOUR PFD IS FILLED WITH AIR. Doing so will result in
excessively high pressure within the inflation chamber,
which may cause permanent damage. When your
PFD is completely filled with air, the inflator may not
automatically inflate when exposed to water.
