Maintenance Tips
- Annual certified servicing: Have an approved service station inspect and repack annually to maintain warranty and ensure the CO₂ inflation, auto‑lights, and mechanisms remain operational.
- Store dry and out of direct sun: If not mounted, keep the unit in a dry place or cover it to prolong material life; UV and moisture can degrade fabrics and seals.
- Check mounting hardware: Inspect rail mount and cradle regularly for corrosion, looseness, or wear so the unit deploys smoothly when needed.
- Inspect CO₂ cylinders & arming lines: Before each season, verify CO₂ cartridges and hydrostatic/arming lines are intact and free from damage.
- Rinse after salt exposure: Freshwater rinse of the case and mounting bracket reduces corrosion and keeps fittings moving freely.
- Verify visibility components: Ensure Glo Lite fabric, retro‑reflective strips, and automatic danbuoy light are clean and unobstructed for maximum visibility.
- Practice deployment familiarity: Review the quick‑release and throw procedure with crew so you’re ready if a person‑over‑board situation occurs.
