Teach.children.how.to.put.a.PFD.on.and.allow.
them.to.try.it.in.the.water..That.way,.they.know.

feel more comfortable with it if they suddenly find
themselves.in.the.water.
If.the.PFD.is.wet,.allow.it.to.dry.thoroughly..
before.storing.it..Do.not.dry.it.in.front.of.a.radiator.

ring.buoy..It.is.designed.to.be.thrown.to.a.person.in.
the.water,.grasped.and.held.by.the.user.until.he.or.
she.is.rescued..A.Type.IV.PFD.should.always.be.in.
serviceable.condition.and.immediately.available.for.
use. Grasping this PFD may be difficult if the rescue
is.delayed.or.if.the.user.is.overcome.by.hypothermia.
5... Keep.PFDs.away.from.sharp.objects.which.can.
tear the fabric or puncture the floatation pads.
6... For.their.own.safety.and.the.safety.of.others,.all.
nonswimmers,.poor.swimmers,.and.small.children.

not torn, that flotation pads have no leaks, and that
all.seams.and.joints.are.securely.sewn.

become.waterlogged.and.lose.their.buoyancy..
after.the.vinyl.inserts.are.punctured..If.the.kapok.
becomes.hard.or.if.it.is.soaked.with.water,..
replace.it..It.may.not.work.when.you.need.it.

E.   Fire Extinguisher
PFD Type V, Wearable (Figure B-5) when inflated, it
provides.buoyancy.equivalent.to.Type.I,.II,.or.III.PFDs..
When it is deflated, however, it may not support some
people.
As.the.owner/operator.of.the.boat,.you.are.responsible.
for supplying a fire extinguisher approved by the US
Coast.Guard.
Hand-held.portable.extinguisher(s).should.be.mount-
ed.in.a.readily.accessible.location(s).away.from.the.
engine.compartment..All.persons.aboard.should.
know the location(s) and proper operation of the fire
extinguisher(s).

FIRE
In case of fire do not open the engine compart-
ment. Shut down engine(s), generator(s), and
blower(s). Discharge entire contents of fixed
fire suppression system, if equipped. If using
a portable CO2 fire extinguisher, continuously
discharge entire contents. On European mod-
els, discharge contents through fire port.
The.purpose.of.a.PFD.is.to.help.save.your.life...
If.you.want.it.to.support.you.when.you.are.in.the..
water, it needs to fit, float, and be in good condition.
1.  
Try the PFD on and adjust it until it fits comfortably
in.and.out.of.the.water..Mark.your.PFD.if.you.are.
the.only.wearer.
2...
To.make.sure.the.PFD.works,.wear.it.in.the.water...
This.will.show.you.how.it.works.and.give.you..
confidence when you use it.
