• Adjust the fit of your PFD each time you set out. Make sure it fits snug and will not move out of place in the event of an upset. A PFD that is worn loosely is almost useless. If you are knocked unconscious, it could actually cause you to drown.
• Always wear your PFD. It is useless if you don't have it on. In the event of an emergency, you might not have time to find it and put it on. Emergencies happen fast and without warning.
• Never use your PFD as a kneeling pad or a bumper. Do not crush your PFD, it will reduce the buoyancy capacity making it useless as a flotation device.
• Do not store your PFD in the sun as ultra violet rays will damabe the fabric and flotation material.
• Rinse off your PFD after use and dry it thoroughly before storing it to prevent mold and mildew.
• Rinse off your PFD with fresh water after using in salt water.
• Check your PFD for wear and deterioration before use. Ensure all adjustments are working properly.
• If the PFD no longer fits, get a new one. Your PFD is your most important piece of equipment while on or near the water.
