How do you deflate the crew life vest?

Explanation:
Deflating an inflatable crew life vest is done by venting the air from the bladder through the purge valves on the manual inflation tubes. Pressing these purge valves allows air to escape quickly and safely, reducing buoyancy so the vest can be collapsed or re-packed as needed. The other actions either inflate the vest or have no effect on deflation (pulling a red tab inflates, blowing into the tube would add air, and twisting the inflation handle isn’t used for deflation). Use the purge valves to control and finish deflation.
