FREEZING TEMPERATURES Never use in below freezing temperatures, unless worn partially inflated. At or below 40° F (4° C) inflation time with CO2 gas will be longer. Wearing a partially inflated PFD in these conditions will provide some initial buoyancy while the PFD fully inflates. Caution: Do not fully inflate orally and then inflate with the CO2 cylinder. Repeated CO2 inflation after oral inflation will damage the PFD to the point that it will not hold air or float. OTHER USE GUIDELINES 1. Alw

VI. WHY ARE PFDS REQUIRED SAFETY EQUIPMENT? Drownings are the leading cause of fatalities involving recreational boating. A PFD provides flotation to help keep your head above water, help you to stay face up in the water, and increase your chances for survival and rescue. Most adults only need an extra 7 to 12 pounds (31 to 53 Newtons) of flotation to keep their heads above water. The proper size PFD will properly support the weight of the wearer. Since this inflatable PFD does not have inhere

VIII. WEAR YOUR PFD In approximately 80 percent of all boating fatalities, the victims were not wearing a PFD. Most fatal accidents happen on calm sunny days. This inflatable PFD is much more comfortable to wear than other PFD types. Get into the habit of wearing this PFD. Non-swimmers and children especially should wear a hybrid or non-inflatable PFD at all times when on or near the water. IX. HYPOTHERMIA Prolonged exposure to cold water causes a condition known as hypothermia - a substantial

Some Points to Remember About Hypothermia Protection: 1. Always wear your PFD. Even if you become incapacitated due to hypothermia, the PFD will keep you afloat and greatly improve your chances of rescue. 2. Do not attempt to swim unless it is to reach a nearby craft, fellow survivor, or a floating object on which you can lean or climb. Swimming increases the rate of body heat loss. In cold water, drown- proofing methods that require putting your head in the water are not recommended. Keep your
