TAKING IT OFF (DOFFING)
• To make doffing easier, partially deflate the PFD while still wearing
(See Deflating, p. 17)
• Simultaneously loosen both side straps by moving the metal
sliders forward
• Once you have enough slack in your side straps, shrug arms out
and pull PFD off over your head
REMOVING CROTCH STRAPS
• Flip PFD face down, find Velcro™ tab across bottom back, pull open
the compartment and release two long straps (If straps have been
out and worn, they will already be outside of their compartment;
make sure they are also unbuckled from the bottom front buckles
of the PFD)
• Find and pull out the loop within the compartment
• From the top of that loop, pull crotch straps up and out
• Now pull straps and the loop itself out of the waist webbing
• Re-secure the Velcro™ tab across the compartment
DOUBLE INFLATION CAN BE DANGEROUS
What it is: When an already orally inflated PFD then manually or
automatically inflates. This creates excessively high pressure within
the inflation chamber.
Your PFD is designed to tolerate double inflation – but if extreme, this
pressure can damage your PFD and be extremely uncomfortable and
potentially harmful to you while wearing.
What to do: Use the oral tube to quickly release pressure from your
PFD (flip over the cap and press it down within the oral tube. This
opens the valve).
