HOW DO YOU TEST YOUR PFD USING THE MANUAL
INFLATOR?
1. To test your inflatable PFD, you will need:
• Your fully armed PFD, and
• Rearming kit approved for your PFD. (This kit
contains a water sensing pill that you will need to use
following this test.)
2. Put on the PFD.
3. Actuate the inflation system by jerking firmly downward on
the pull tab. The PFD should fully inflate within 5 seconds.
