INSPECTION AND SERVICE
1. It cannot be assumed that the BC is in good working order on the basis that it
has received little use since it was last serviced. Remember that prolonged or
improper storage can still result in internal corrosion and/or deterioration of
o-ring seals and valve springs, as well as bladder seam degradation.
2. It is imperative that manufacturer prescribed service on your BC is performed
by a manufacturer trained service technician according to the procedures
outlined in our Technical Manual at least once a year under normal prescribed
use OR more frequently if operating in an environment where harsh / heavy
/ in-water or training may exist. Manufacturer prescribed service consists of:
•
Complete overhaul of the power inflator.
•
Inspection of the over pressure relief valve(s).
•
Inflation test: Fully inflate the vest and set aside for 10 minutes. If a
puncture is detected, utilize BC patch kit to repair the hole. Reference
Lit PN 18301 provided with the repair kit.
3. DO NOT attempt to perform any disassembly or service of your BC. Doing so
may cause the BC to dangerously malfunction. All service must be performed
by a manufacturer trained service technician.
