SIZING AND FIT

This PFD provides a minimum of 100 Newtons (22.5 lbs) of
buoyancy when inflated and is designed for wearers over 16 years
of age, with a chest range of 76-132 cm (30-52 inches) weighing
over 36 kg (80 pounds).

DONNING INSTRUCTIONS

It is important that the Inflatable PFD is properly adjusted to fit
the person wearing it. An incorrect fit or improper fastening of
attachments could impede its effectiveness.
1. All belts and straps are already threaded correctly and only need
to be adjusted for fit. The belt should fit below your rib cage
adjusted to a tight personal fit.
2. Put the Inflatable PFD on just like a jacket (Fig. 2) and fasten the
front buckle. Adjust the waist belt using the side buckle on the
belt and secure the belt's loose end in the belt loop.
WARNING: DO NOT WEAR INFLATABLE PFDS UNDER CLOTHING AS THE INFLATION
COULD BE RESTRICTED OR YOU COULD BE INJURED.
