5. Putting on the life jacket
Always wear the life jacket on top of your clothing. Open
the buckle and put on the life jacket like a normal jacket
or pull over head in the case of closed models see Figures
6 and 7. Close buckle safely. Also refer to supplementary
operating instructions. Never wear the life jacket unfas-
tened!
Adjust the body belt such that there is approx. 2 cm space
(two fingers) between your body and the belt. Only a tightly
fitting life jacket will keep you in a stable position on your
back.
If applicable, close the crotch strap and adjust it so that it
fits comfortably.
WARNING: Wearing the life jacket loosely or unfastened
is dangerous.
