HOW AND WHY TO TEST YOUR PFD

Inflate your Inflatable Vest with LIFT

TM

and try it out in the water to:

·

Make sure it floats you:

• Comfortably (when worn properly)
• Adequately for expected wave conditions (body shapes/

densities affect performance)

·

Make sure it works:

• A flow of bubbles should not appear (see CARE AND

MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS for leak tests p. 24). It should

inflate quick and easily.
