Putting It On (Donning) - Mustang Survival MD6254 Guide D'utilisation

PUTTING IT ON (DONNING)

• Pull PFD over your head like
a T-shirt, pushing your arms
through the spaces created by
the side straps (Fig. 5)
• To tighten: reach under your
arms, grasp both side straps at
once, and pull back
• The bottom of your PFD
should rest above your lowest
ribs by at least 2 inches
(5 cm). This means your PFD
only goes where your ribs
can most effectively protect
your internal organs against
external pressures.
• Check fit by pinching each
side strap, just as you would
a waistband. If you can pinch
the material together (Fig. 6),
tighten your PFD.
YOUR PFD MUST BE WORN...
Deflated: For the comfort that encourages use, and especially:
• to protect the inner inflating bladder until it's needed
• to set up the crucial pressure difference needed to ensure
automatic inflation.
Outside all clothing: Allows complete inflation – without damage to
your gear or to your person. Your PFD must be your very last layer.
Without constraints: Do not tie or sew anything to the outside of (or
around) your PFD, as it may compromise your PFD's ability to inflate.
If you fail to meet any one of these conditions, you may cause
damage to yourself or your PFD.
