Section 4: Maintenance
The LBV is constructed of durable materials and is designed to withstand harsh
environments. However, the prevention of unnecessary impacts will greatly increase
the life of the LBV and reduce maintenance. Performing the basic care as listed in this
section will provide you with years of use and enjoyment.
4.1
After each use
When use of the LBV is complete, take a few minutes to inspect the LBV for any
damage that may have occurred during use. If used in sea water, wash the LBV
thoroughly with fresh water. It is recommended that the LBV be submerged in a
container filled with fresh water. Let as much water drip off of the LBV as possible.
Place the LBV in its protective carrying case. Wash the tether with fresh water. Coil the
tether for storage.
