Aqua Lung PARA SWIMMER VEST User Manual

5. Inflate the vest with air, turn it to an inverted position and drain any water out
through the over pressure relief valve (OPRV) by pulling down on the knob
and cord assembly. If water drains from inside the vest, a fresh water rinse
should be done as follows.
a. To fresh water rinse the vest unscrew the OPRV, directly fill the vest
with water and re-thread the OPRV to the vest.
b. Swish the water around to remove any mineral deposits, invert the vest
so the OPRV is the lowest point and drain the water by pulling the knob
and cord assembly. Taste the last remaining drops of water for salt. If
salt is detected, repeat the cleaning procedure for the internal bladder.
6. To dry the vest after cleaning, inflate the vest until it is half full, this will allow
the inner bladder to dry. DO NOT dry the vest in direct sunlight. Store the
half full, inflated vest in a cool, dry and clean area.
7. Check the vest 30 minutes later for any leakage. If any leakage or holes are
detected, repair the vest utilizing the Aqua Lung Repair Kit pn 42611.
WARNING: DO NOT use aerosol silicone sprays or cleaners to
lubricate the components, the propellants or carrier solvent
cause cracking or crazing.
