    Arch Tube To test the arch tube’s inflatable cell for leaks, inflate the arch tube orally until the cell becomes firm. To inflate, flip the replaceable black dust cap off from the top of the red oral tube. Either blow air into the oral tube (See Figure 2) until the arch tube is firm or first fill the arch tube halfway up with compressed air at a low pressure (<10psig) and top off by blowing into the oral tube.

  • Page 65: Function Tests

    FUNCTION TESTS GENERAL A full function test is not required for normal service. The following items listed will need to be assessed for proper operation and restored if they are non-functional. Refer to Chapter 7 – Repair for repair/replacement instructions for failed components. LIGHT Check the unit expiration date.

  • Page 66: Inlet Check Valves

    INLET CHECK VALVE Using clean, dry shop air, inflate the compartment to 2.0 psig. Spray a solution of soapy water on top of the valve. Apply solution slowly to generate the least amount of bubbles possible. Monitor and check for generation of new bubbles. The inlet check valves should be airtight and not allow new bubbles to form.

  • Page 67: Cylinder Valve Inflation Test

    CYLINDER VALVE INFLATION TEST Note: Do not perform the Cylinder Valve Inflation Test with the cylinder still attached to the raft. Remove cylinder from raft (See Chapter 3 – Disassembly).

    The adhesive to be used for repairs is supplied in a 4oz. can with brush top. (Part No. 306-004) Only the specified adhesive shall be used for the repair of liferafts manufactured by Revere Supply Co., Inc. Using unspecified adhesives may have unexpected side effects resulting in premature failure.

  • Page 88: Preparation Of Coasted Surfaces

    PREPARATION OF COATED SURFACES Polyurethane-proofed surfaces Caution: VERY IMPORTANT – The heavy duty polyurethane coating on the material used for the buoyancy chambers/floor must have the surface contamination completely removed by thoroughly cleaning the coated surfaces with solvent MEK (Methyl Ethyl Ketone). Petroleum or Toluene type cleaning solvents are ineffective on this material and must not be used.

  • Page 89: Applying Adhesive

    APPLYING ADHESIVE For the purposes of repair the words ‘tacky’ and aggressive tack are defined as follows: (1). When the word ‘tacky’ is used, it means that if the fingers are lightly dragged across the adhesive, it tends to pull off the base fabric or the previous coat. (2).

  • Page 90: Repairing Torn Areas

    REPAIRING TORN AREAS While many of the seams in the Aero Compact Liferafts are glued with a strong adhesive, others are of welded construction. Once welded, these seams cannot be opened. A correctly welded seam is such that no discernable interface between the two polyurethane surfaces will remain.

  • Page 91: Repair Limits For External Patches

    Revere Supply Co., Inc. cannot offer partial or complete panel/tube replacement. It will be necessary to replace the liferaft should significant damage occur to the panels or tubes. Repair Limits for External Patches Patching of the buoyancy tubes is permitted, but there must not be more than 10 patches per panel, and the area of the 10 patches together must not exceed 25% of the panel area.
