ADULT UNIVERSAL – FOR PERSONS OVER 80 POUNDS

I. APPROVAL CONDITIONS and CARRIAGE REQUIREMENTS

This inflatable belt is approved by the U S Coast Guard as a Type

V User Assisted Personal Flotation Device (PFD). It is APPROVED

ONLY WHEN WORN for use as a Flotation Aid, Type I I I PFD for

recreational use on calm inland waters. It is not approved for

water skiing or other high-speed activity. This inflatable was

designed to be more comfortable and less restrictive to wear than

inherently buoyant PFDs. When used and serviced according to

this owner’s manual, this personal flotation device (PFD) can

greatly increase your chances of survival. Not recommended for

non-swimmers or weak swimmers. Users of inflatable PFDs must

be at least 16 years of age.

See Page 3 for Conditions for Type V Approval.

WEAR YOUR PFD! Most drowned victims of boating accidents

owned PFDs, but were not wearing them when they died. Most

drowning occurs in inland waters, not way out at sea, and most

within a few feet of safety. If you DO NOT intend to wear this
PFD, then SELECT ONE that you will.
Doing this provides
feedback to manufacturer's, as to what makes a PFD wearable.
