OTHER USE GUIDE LINES -
STUDY this manual and practice using your belt to become
thoroughly familiar with its features and operation. Your inflatable
PFD will not provide buoyancy until you inflate it. See Pages 17
and 18 for testing your PFD.
ALWAYS re-arm the CO
2
inflation system after each discharge.
The CO
2
cylinder is good for only one inflation and then must be
replaced. Use ONLY genuine Stearns replacement kits for
rearming your PFD. See Pages 11 and 12 for rearming
instructions.
NEVER wear inside clothing that can restrict expansion.
NEVER inflate in a tightly confined space.
NEVER inflate with any type of pump.
NEVER actuate with CO
2
inflator if the belt is already fully inflated.
NEVER use in below freezing temperatures unless worn partly
inflated. At or below 40 ºF inflation time with CO
2
gas will be
longer. Wearing a partially inflated PFD under these conditions will
provide some initial buoyancy while the PFD fully inflates.
Caution: Do not fully inflate orally and then inflate with the CO
2
cylinder. Repeated CO
2
inflation after oral inflation will damage the
PFD to the point that it will not hold air or float.
AVOID contact with sharp objects.
AVOID exposure to extreme heat (140 ºF or higher).
Failure to heed the above cautions may result in personal
injury or death.
