Pfd Considerations - Chris-Craft Lancer 20 Owner's Manual

PFD Considerations

To obtain the best benefit from a PFD:
• Children, non and poor swimmers should wear a PFD at all times.
• Keep all PFDs in an accessible location.
• Ensure the PFD comfortably fits the individual, both in and out of the water.
• Practice using the PFD in the water. This will provide insight and confidence in its use.
• Teach all children how to put on and wear the PFD.
PFD Care:
• Do not store in plastic bags, locked in a compartment, or stowed beneath other gear.
• Do not store when wet. Allow to dry thoroughly. Do not use a radiator or heater to dry.
• Store in a well-ventilated area.
• Keep PFDs away from sharp objects. Do not puncture.
• Inspect on a regular basis. Replace any damaged PFD. Ensure inflatable PFDs have no leaks.
