SIZING AND FIT
This life jacket provides a minimum of 150 N (33.7 pounds) of
buoyancy when inflated and is designed for wearers with a chest
range of 76-132 cm (30-52 inches) weighing over 40 kg (88 pounds).
PUTTING ON (DONNING) YOUR LIFE JACKET
It is important that the inflatable life jacket is properly adjusted to
fit the person wearing it. An incorrect fit or improper fastening of
attachments could impede its e ectiveness.
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 life jacket on just like a jacket (Fig. 3) and fasten the front
buckle. Secure the belt's loose end in the belt loop.
WARNING: DO NOT WEAR INFLATABLE LIFE JACKETS UNDER CLOTHING AS THE
INFLATION COULD BE RESTRICTED OR YOU COULD BE INJURED. LOOSE VESTS OR
LOOSE ENDS CAN MAIM OR KILL YOU.
