MOB1 USER MANUAL LIFE JACKET INSTALLATION If your rescueME MOB1 is not already pre-installed into the life jacket, please follow the instructions below carefully. The diagrams below assume that the life jacket inflation tube is on the left hand side (as viewed). - Page 8 MOB1 USER MANUAL The MOB1 should be mounted as near to the base of the oral tube as possible and so that the tape passes over a near parallel section of the bladder. • Pull the tape tight with the free end of the tape, so that the bladder is free to inflate and remains folded in accordance with the life jacket manufacturer’s instructions.
- Page 9 For installation to life jackets where the bladder is permanently attached to the cover, please see the separate instruction sheet, available from the Ocean Signal website. Always check with your Life Jacket manufacturer to ensure there are no special fixing instructions for that model.
