OPENING THE LIFEJACKET COVER Open the velcro tab. To avoid damaging your lifejacket zip, pull apart the zip, open the zip via the quick burst elements, holding the cover either side. Once the zip has opened, insert your finger and slide it around the lifejacket. Undo the zip all the way around the outside of the lifejacket.
REPACKING THE CREWFIT 165N SPORT LIFEJACKET Ensure that your lifejacket is completely dry before packing. (Refer to page 12 - Care and Maintenance for details on storing and cleaning your lifejacket) Start by folding the bottom left of chamber up over operating head. Then fold in half to make a concertina.

ATTACHING A CREWSAVER SPRAY HOOD TO YOUR CREWFIT (SOLD SEPARATELY) Undo the popper on the back of the spray hood carry pouch. Place the spray hood carry pouch on the waist belt with the popper facing inwards. Fasten the popper to secure the spray hood to the waist belt.
Check the expiry date on the automatic firing capsule. If it has expired it should be replaced. WARNING: If you are not confident in self-inspection of your lifejacket using these instructions, refer to your closest Crewsaver approved service station for details. Crewsaver approved service...
CLEANING & STORING YOUR LIFEJACKET It is important that the lifejacket is stored in a dry, well-ventilated space. If the lifejacket is wet or damp, and it is fitted with an automatic firing capsule, it is advisable to remove the capsule until the lifejacket is completely dry.
TESTING YOUR LIFEJACKET Practice and training are required before use. In an emergency, there is no time to learn how equipment works. Crewsaver recommend that you try your lifejacket to ascertain its performance before use in an emergency. This will also help familiarise yourself with the product.

While in the water it is also recommended that you try out your lifejacket’s spray hood. Reach above your head and locate the grab loops on the spray hood. (Refer to page 11 - Spray hoods) Your lifejacket should be tested whilst wearing any offshore clothing. Check that the lifejacket will turn you from a face down position to a face up position.
USING INFLATION TUBE ON INFLATABLE LIFEJACKETS If required all inflatable lifejackets can be inflated orally without firing the CO cylinder. WARNING: Inflating your lifejacket using CO inflation could over pressurize and damage your lifejacket if it has already been orally inflated fully. INFLATING YOUR LIFEJACKET Remove the valve cap (a) at the top of the inflation tube (b).
The Crewfit range of lifejackets can be used with all approved safety lines, on lifejackets with a harness. Available within the Crewsaver range and suitable for use on the Crewfit 165N Sport are both 2 hook and 3 hook safety lines.
CORRECT USE OF LIFTING BECKETS Lifting becket is located below the left lobe of the inflation chamber. Use lifting becket to haul casualties from the water.
The guarantee does not cover the effects of accidental damage, normal wear and tear, or mistreatment, or where repairs have been carried out other than by a Crewsaver approved serviced centre.
