Individual buoyancy equipment complying with standard ISO NF EN 12402-5 + A1
07/2010, approved by ALIENOR CERTIFICATION (2754), 21 Rue Albert Einstein,
86100 Châtellerault, FRANCE. Thank you for buying an Aquadesign® buoyancy aid. To
get the most out of this jacket, we invite you to read the following information carefully.
This product is a buoyancy aid with inherent buoyancy material; it is not a lifejacket.
Buoyancy aids only reduce the risk of drowning, but do not guarantee rescue. It is
designed for strong swimmers who are close to the bank or the shore and have help and
backup close by. The jacket is not very bulky, but it is less effective in choppy waters and
will not protect the user for long. It requires the active participation of the user. Teach
children to float with this buoyancy aid.For children less than 6 years old, use only PFD
(Personal Flotation Devices) with automatic system.
Usage temperatures : -10°C to + 50°C
Choose your life jacket in accordance with your weight; an under or oversized jacket may
hinder survival movements. Do not use as a cushion. This jacket is not compatible with a
safety harness or other related clothing or equipment, unless otherwise stated. Effective
performance may be hindered by the use of some waterproof clothing or in other
circumstances.
USE (Fig. A) :
Slip on the jacket like a normal jacket, taking care to put the buckles at the front. Zip up
the jacket (1) then fit the buckle by adjusting the straps (2) so that the jacket does not slide
up if you fall into the water. A well-adjusted jacket should remain in place during
movements. Readjust strap tightening during sports. Train yourself to use this equipment.

MAINTENANCE ADVICE :

Rinse the jacket with soapy water after each use. Leave it to dry on a coat hanger in a dry
ventilated place, out of the sun. Do not leave it to dry near a source of heat. Do not
machine wash. Do not tumble dry, dry clean, iron nor bleach. Never remove or add
anything to your jacket. Do not use a damaged jacket ; replace it. Train yourself to use the
equipment in the water at least once a year to ensure it still provides adequate buoyancy
and control the fastening systems every year and specify care dates in the chart inside the
jacket. We recommend that you replace your jacket within 8 years of the manufacturing
date if you use in the ways described above.
