OWNER’S MANUAL for

Model 24MSPT-1

APPROVAL CONDITIONS AND CARRIAGE REGULATIONS

This inflatable PFD is approved by the U.S. Coast Guard for use as a
Type III Personal Flotation Device (PFD). It is not approved for water
skiing or other high impact, high speed activities.
This inflatable PFD
was designed to be more comfortable and less restrictive to wear than
inherently buoyant PFDs. When worn, used and serviced according to
this owner’s manual, this PFD can greatly increase your chances of
survival in the water. Not recommended for non-swimmers or weak
swimmers. Users of inflatable PFDs must be at least 16 years old.

I. MANDATORY CARRIAGE REQUIREMENTS

Federal regulations in 33 CFR 175-1993 require you to carry Coast
Guard approved personal flotation devices (PFDs) legibly marked with
the Coast Guard approval number which are in good and serviceable
condition and are the correct size for each person on board. To be
considered serviceable, this PFD shall not exhibit deterioration that could
diminish its performance such as broken or deformed hardware,
detached webbing, rotted structural components, air leaks, or non-functional
oral inflation tube. Unless worn inflated, this PFD must also be properly
armed with a full CO2 cylinder, inflation system status indicator and an
accessible manual inflation lanyard. A PFD which is “approved only
when worn” or “required to be worn” must be worn under the specified
conditions.
