It will be necessary at normal service and overhaul periods (See Chapter 2 – Description, Data, and
Operation) to remove the packed liferaft from the vessel. Ensure the working area is clean and dry,
free from sharp projections, and large enough to fit the liferaft. The work surface should be smooth,
preferably constructed of linoleum or PVC covering.
Caution: Extreme care must be exercised when handling a liferaft to protect it from
punctures or tears. Do not step or walk on any part of the liferaft. Do not drop
or throw the liferaft whether packed or unpacked.
See Chapter 10 Tools, Equipment, and Materials for detailed descriptions of any tools used in the
following disassembly procedures.
