9. Packing the life jacket
- Release all air from the buoyancy chamber (see Chapter 7).
- Close the oral valve with the dust cap.
- Fold up life jacket following the instructions on the supplied product information. Ensure that
the inflation device is not „wrapped up“. The buoyancy chamber must not be twisted. The white
retaining straps must not be pulled together! Close all press studs, Velcro fasteners and zippers
carefully.
- The manual release pull-cord must hang out of the protection cover freely and be accessible.
- The straps must not be twisted or knotted.
10. Storage
Before storage, the life jacket must be fully dry. For this reason, open the protection cover to allow the
life jacket to dry on the inside, too. Protect your life jacket from prolonged exposure to the sun.
To prevent unwanted early release of the automatic inflation device caused by condensation, store
the jacket at a well ventilated place.
11. Maintenance/lifetime
Always arrange for your lifejacket to be regularly serviced by SECUMAR SERVICE. The date for the
next service is stamped on the buoyancy chamber (recommendation, maybe other regulations have
to be observed). Maintenance is only possible for lifejackets which have not exceeded their maximum
sercie life.
Service can only be carried out with life jackets which have not yet exceeded their maximum service
life. Generally, the service life is 10 years (refer to supplied product information).
In certain conditions of use (e.g. long cruises, cruises to other climatic zones, or frequent wearing by
children) the life jacket must be serviced more frequently. Children‘s life jackets must be checked by
the responsible person (parent or trainer) with particular care due to the special usage conditions. Ask
the manufacturer for special instructions.
