NOTE: Hydrostatic inflator must be submerged in at least 4 inches
of water to activate the inflator.
NOTE: When inflated, the carbon dioxide (CO
2
gas) used to inflate
PFDs will slowly escape through the cell over time. A slight
reduction of pressure will be observed after several hours of
inflation. Topping up by oral inflation may be required in the
event of prolonged immersion.
Oral Inflation
Properly armed and inspected Inflatable Vest with LIFT
TM
PFDs will inflate
when manually or automatically activated. However, you can fully inflate
the PFD by mouth (Fig. 8) should inflation not occur, or if you are in a
non-emergency situation.
To orally inflate the PFD, first locate the oral inflation tube by opening
the wearer’s right front panel cover of the PFD. Then remove the dust cap
from the end of the oral tube and blow into the tube until the PFD is
fully inflated.
It may be neccessary to manually release the Velcro
TM
tabs, located at the
bottom of the left and right panel covers, for full inflation because oral
inflation may not provide sufficient pressure to open the tabs.
CAUTION: CO
2
inflation could over-pressurize and damage your
PFD if already orally inflated.
