as with any safety equipment, it is important to take the time to get
to know your new PFD. Practice putting on your PFD, familiarize
yourself with re-arming and repacking, and know how it will perform.
To create buoyancy in your PFD, it can be inflated with either Co
gas using the inflator, or can be inflated with air using the oral tube.
Inflating your PFD with Co
you fall into the water, or manually by using the pull handle. The
advantage of inflating with Co
a lot of effort from the wearer. The disadvantage is that you need to
re-arm your PFD before you can inflate it with Co
(see "Re-arming your inflatable PFD" on page 7).
