DO NOT ATTACH PFD'S TO YOUR BOAT
Each PFD has straps, hooks, buckles, or other means for securing the
device in place on the wearer. Some PFDs also incorporate decorative
dee rings or tabs. Such items are not to be used to attach the device to
the boat. Attaching the device to the boat will not permit it to perform as
intended.
The exception is when a Saftey harness (Model 1193) is worn with a
tether of less than 6.5 feet (2 m) having a quick release under load
hardware. Refer to Page 3 for harness use instructions.
CO2 PERMEATION LOSS
CO2 gas will permeate the chamber fabric over time. Oral Inflation may
be necessary to maintain full buoyancy.
BUDDY LINE INFORMATION
Buddy lines, when provided, are to be used by people adrift in the water,
to attach themselves to one another and aid in staying together. Buddy
lines are not designed for lifting.
