DEFLATING YOUR PFD
1. To deflate your inflatable PFD, reverse the oral inflation tube dust
cap and insert it into the valve (Fig. 8). The dust cap will not lock
the valve in the deflate position so it is necessary to hold it in
place.
2. Gently squeeze your inflatable PFD until all air or CO

has been
expelled.
3. Return the oral inflation tube dust cap to its stowed position on
the oral inflation tube (Fig. 8).
