Palawan

Inflatable Vest

Palawan is not certified as a life jacket or life preserver.

Use only if you know how to swim and have obtained instruction on proper use.

Be sure to take regular breaks while snorkeling.

Always follow the buddy rule: never snorkel alone.

FIT INSTRUCTION:




• STEP 1: Put on vest with air chamber in front of you and hook & loop closure on your left.


• STEP 2: Inflate vest through valve. Please note that you may not need to inflate all the way. Air can be added or let out later based on how much buoyancy you desire.


• STEP 3: Close hook & loop tab snugly, and clip in buckles.


• STEP 4: Grab pull tabs on webbing and tighten until vest is snug. To test proper fit, pull up on shoulder straps lightly. If vest pulls up more than an inch or two, tighten vest more.


• STEP 5: Tighten or loosen shoulder straps so that they sit flush on your shoulders and are not sticking up.



WEIGHT SUPPORT RATING:

LOCK VALVE OPERATION:

• OPEN: To inflate or deflate vest, twist valve towards the open indicator, then press the valve down to inflate with mouth or let air out.
• CLOSED: To stop inflation or deflation, let go of the top of the valve. The valve is spring loaded and will close automatically.
• LOCKED: Once the desired amount of air is in chamber, twist valve away from the open indicator to lock. This prevents the valve from accidentally opening during use.



TO CLEAN/CARE:

• Thoroughly rinse with fresh water immediately after use in chlorinated or chemical treated pools.


• Limit long exposure to extreme temperatures or direct sunlight.


• After use, rinse vest and hand wash in cool fresh water and dry in the shade.


• Do not use solvents or other chemicals to remove stains or marks from your vest as this can cause damage.
