• Do not inhale from the Scout Swimmer Vest oral inflator. The vest may contain contaminants
from a previous CO2 firing or other sources.
• The Scout Swimmer Vest is not approved for use in SCUBA diving.

Donning and Adjustment Procedures

1. Place the Scout Swimmer Vest over your head. Next, route both straps underneath your
arms and through the D-rings, then tighten the straps (See Figure 1.)

Pre-OP Check Out

Prior to each use, the vest should be given a thorough visual inspection and function test.
1. Fully inflate the vest and set aside for 30 minutes; loss of firmness indicates leakage,
which must be corrected before use.
2. Ensure that all stitched together components are not separating.
3. Check that the oral inflation tube and valve properly function by depressing the valve and
blowing into the tube. Ensure the knurl nut on the oral inflation tube freely turns.
4. Remove the CO2 cartridges and inspect both actuators. Ensure the actuator operates
correctly by pulling on the toggle and checking that the pin travels up and down. Return the
actuating arm to the UP position prior to rethreading the CO2 cartridge into the actuator.
5. Perform a function check on the over-pressure relief valve by fully inflating the vest and
then squeezing the vest to ensure the valve opens, allowing air to escape. Next pull the
toggle to ensure the valve is correctly working by allowing air to escape. (See Figure 3.)
NOTE: Over-Pressure Relief Valve will actuate when the pressure inside the vest exceeds
2 PSI greater than external pressure.

After each use, soak the exterior of the vest with fresh water. 2. Detach HABD pocket (optional) and fresh water rinse all components. (See Figure 4.) 3. Open storage pocket and fresh water rinse.

Inflate the vest with air and drain any water out through the over-pressure relief valve by pulling down on the toggle allowing the water to drain. If water drains from inside the vest a fresh water rinse should be done. To fresh water rinse the vest, open the OPR valve or oral inflation valve and directly fill the vest with water. b.
