WHAT IS AN INFLATABLE FLOTATION DEVICE?

While traditional flotation devices are inherently buoyant, this
inflatable flotation device has some inherent buoyancy, and relies
on inflation for additional buoyancy needed for proper product
performance. Uninflated, your device is a comfortable low-profile
vest with side and shoulder straps, and can be inflated at any time
with a 12-gram CO gas cylinder. You can inflate your flotation
2
device manually by jerking a pull-handle, or orally by mouth. It is
recommended that you familiarize yourself with your device as
described in "Instructions for use".
AIRLINE POLICY ON CARRIAGE OF INFLATABLE FLOTATION DEVICES
AND CO CYLINDERS
2
Regulations may apply to the air transport of inflatable flotation
devices. Only with the approval of the aircraft operator may carbon
dioxide cylinder(s) be transported in checked or carry-on baggage.
Please consult airline operator policy. If your airline does not allow
transport, you may consider shipping your flotation device or its CO
2
cylinder separately to your destination or purchasing a re-arm kit
once you arrive (check availability before you go).
