INFLATABLE LIFE JACKETS

Inflatable life jackets are special devices in that the flotation of the
wearer is not derived from inherently buoyant materials. In order
for your life jacket to do its job, you, the wearer, must do yours! This
means you have the responsibility to ensure you are familiar with
the operation and maintenance requirements of your inflatable life
jacket! You must also be aware that the device is not approved for
certain boating activities.
READ YOUR OWNER'S MANUAL AND THE INFORMATION LABELS ON YOUR
LIFE JACKET! IT COULD SAVE YOUR LIFE!
