NORTHERN DIVER BAG MANUAL
Thank you for your purchase. Do not use this product before reading this manual.
It is important to fully understand the proper care and maintenance before use.
Bags need to be properly cared for and maintained, which means doing the right
checks before and after use, cleaning them properly and storing them correctly.
This will guarantee they last you a long time.
Advice prior to travelling
It is a good idea to make a checklist of the items that you will be packing for your
journey. Keep the list in your carry-on and should your bag get lost or stolen, you
will have an itemised list of what was in it. If the gear that you are packing is for
more than two people it is highly advisable to have smaller mesh or bags included
for each person's set of equipment. This is especially a good idea if any of your
excursions involve boat travel, as it is much easier to stow smaller gear bags on
boats than it is large and clunky ones.
Inspection and storage procedures
Make sure that you completely empty your bag prior to storage and double-check
every compartment. It is likely that the bag will come into contact with water at
some stage. It is therefore advisable to rinse the gear bag with fresh warm water
to reduce the possibility of particulate matter embedding itself into the fabric as
the bag dries.
Make sure that it is completely dry prior to storing it. Do not dry in direct sunlight,
it should dry in a shaded area and then be stored in a cool dry place.
Did You Know...
Did you know that the majority of bag damage occurs on baggage carousels at
airports? If the bag is too heavy for you to easily manage then a baggage handler
will have the same problem. Don't encourage others to abuse your bag. Pack it
sensibly to avoid damage.
A poorly packed bag that is overweight or has items protruding is more likely to
be damaged on your travels. We cannot be held responsible for damage due to
misuse. In the event of damage to your bag contact the baggage-handling agent
and register a claim before leaving the airport immediately.
Failing that, contact your holiday insurers.
