III - MAINTENANCE AND CARE INSTRUCTIONS
After each use dry your lifejacket thoroughly and keep it clean and free from oil and sand. Store it away from direct sunlight.
Your lifejacket shall be serviced at least every year (and more frequently in case of intensive use).
Rinse the lifejacket with fresh water (especially if it has been used in maritime environment), then dry it before folding it (never
expose a lifejacket to excessive heat, this could damage it).
Warning: for the automatic version, remove the automatic water dissolving cartridge before rinsing the lifejacket.
Check the general condition of the lifejacket and in particular the inflatable bladder, the outer cover, the buckles, the straps, the
seams, the whistle and the retro reflective tapes. Check that your lifejacket is free from abrasion marks. Pay particular attention
to the seams and straps of the lifejackets with integrated harness.
Check your lifejacket waterproofness : orally inflate it and check that it stays inflated for at least 12 hours.
If the bladder leaks or if your lifejacket is damaged in any way, return it imperatively to Plastimo.
Check the CO2 cylinder is full, firmly screwed and has no corrosion. Warning: the gas cylinders are hazardous materials which
must be kept away from children and used with caution. Check the colour of the firing indicator and the expiry date of the
water-dissolving cartridge or the hydrostatic firing system. Replace the water-dissolving cartridge or the hydrostatic firing system
before the expiry date. Imperatively use Plastimo re-arming kits in case of replacement.
Fold and repack the lifejacket (refer to § Repacking instructions).
In the absence of regulation determining the servicing period, it is recommended to have the lifejacket fully serviced in factory
or approved stations every 2 years. It is recommended to have the lifejacket fully serviced every year in case of intensive use.
