Inflatable PFD so you know what to do in an emergency.
WHAT IS AN INFLATABLE PFD?
Congratulations on the purchase of your Inflatable Vest with Patent
Pending LIFT
TM [Life-saving Inflatable Flotation Technology]. LIFT TM is
different from all other inflatable PFD’s. In general, inflatable PFD’s are
designed to suspend a user’s head above water to prevent drowning.
The Inflatable Vest with LIFT
TM provides freeboard that far exceeds the
minimal 3” generally provided. LIFT TM elevates you to an upright safe
position and delivers up to 9” of freeboard, the highest ever seen in
a PFD, keeping your mouth high above the water line to minimize the
risk of mouth immersions. Not only is LIFT
TM one of the world’s best
performing PFD’s in wave conditions, but it’s comfortable too. Light and
ergonomically designed – you can’t even tell you’re wearing it until you
need it.
While traditional PFDs are inherently buoyant, inflatable PFDs like the
Inflatable Vest with LIFT
TM rely entirely upon inflation for buoyancy.
Uninflated, the Inflatable Vest with LIFT TM is comfortable and can be
inflated at any time with a 38-gram CO
2
gas cylinder. The Inflatable Vest
with LIFT TM is designed to meet the demands of a full protection PFD
offering maximum mobility with minimum bulk. The Inflatable Vest with
LIFT
TM can be inflated either automatically during immersion, manually
by pulling a beaded handle, or by mouth. It is imperative that you
familiarize yourself with the procedures outlined in INSTRUCTIONS FOR
USE (p. 3).
