URALLY. MUD CAN BE REMOVED WITH A STIFF BRUSH (NOT WIRE) WHEN DRY.

HAND-WASH THE STOLE POUCH WITH A GOOD QUALITY, MILD DETERGENT IN COOL WATER (40
SPONGE THE INFLATABLE STOLE WITH A PURE SOAP SOLUTION ONLY. RINSE IN CLEAN WATER IMMEDIATELY, THEN INFLATE AND
AIR-DRY.

IN CASES OF SEVERE CONTAMINATION RETURN YOUR JACKET TO YOUR DISTRIBUTOR, WHO WILL OBTAIN A MANUFACTURER'S
ASSESSMENT. NEW POUCHES AND/OR BARE STOLES CAN BE PURCHASED, IF APPROPRIATE.

MANUAL JACKETS
USING THE RIGHT HAND, RUN PALM OF HAND DOWN RIGHT HAND SIDE OF POUCH UNTIL HAND ENCOUNTERS THE ACTIVA-

YOUR THUMB FLICK OFF THE BLACK DUST COVER, PLACE TO YOUR MOUTH AND BLOW. THE TUBE IS FITTED WITH A NON-
RETURN VALVE SO THERE IS NO NEED TO WORRY ABOUT AIR ESCAPING BACK. FULLY INFLATE THE JACKET UNTIL IT IS DIFFI-
CULT TO BLOW IN ANY MORE AIR, THE JACKET IS NOW FULLY OPERATIONAL.
