Safety On Board

• TYPE V- This is the least bulky of all

PFD’s. It contains a small amount of inherent

buoyancy, and an inﬂ atable chamber. It is rated

even to a Type I, II, or III PFD (as noted on

the jacket label) when inﬂ ated. Hybrid PFD’s

must be worn to be acceptable.

Maintaining your PFD’s

A PFD is only useful if it’s well maintained. Always be aware of PFD

age since it has a life expectancy.

 Do a periodic operation check of all PFD’s in shallow water.

 Be sure to air dry all PFD’s after each use. Store in a dry, easily

accessible location.

 Check periodically for broken zippers, frayed webbing, water

soaked kapok bags, missing straps, and sewing that is

undone.

 Clean each PFD with mild soap and water only. Again, let dry

sufﬁ ciently before storing.

 Keep PFD’s out of grease and oil since they can deteriorate the

jacket inner and outer materials.

 Check any kapok-bagged jackets by squeezing. If jacket loses air

the bag is defective and the PFD should be thrown away.

 Grab the cover with the ﬁ ngers. If the cover material rips, the

PFD is rotted and should be thrown away.

 If the kapok bag is hard the PFD should be discarded.
