MAKE SURE YOUR DEVICE FUNCTIONS PROPERLY
For your flotation device to function properly, follow these
suggestions to verify that it fits, floats, and remains in good condition.
1.
Check the inflation mechanism status indicators before each use.
2.
Get in the habit of re-arming the inflation mechanism right after
each inflation.
3.
Try your flotation device on and adjust it until it fits comfortably
in and out of the water.
4.
Mark your flotation device with your name if you are the
only wearer.
5.
Do not alter your flotation device. If it doesn't fit properly, get
one that does. An altered device is no longer approved.
6.
Your flotation device is not intended for use as a fender or
kneeling pad.
7.
If your flotation device is wet, allow it to dry thoroughly before
storing it. Store it in a well-ventilated area.
8.
Do not dry your flotation device in front of a radiator or other
source of direct heat.
