2. Oral Inflation Leak Test
- This test should be performed
every two months and at the start of each season. Inflate
buoyancy chamber using the oral inflation valve and leave to
rest for 16 hours. When buoyancy chamber remains firm and
full of air there is no leakage and chamber is operational. If
the chamber deflates during this leak test, it is no longer in
operational condition and should not be used. Some types of
leaks can be repaired by a certified Stearns Repair Facility,
while others are not repairable. If the PFD leaks, either return
to certified Stearns Repair Facility for evaluation and repair, or
discard the PFD.
3. Function Test of Oral Valve
- With the PFD inflated, remove
the dust protection cap, and test the valve by pushing it down
using the tab provided on the cap (refer to Page 10). The
valve should depress easily, and when depressed, air should
escape. When released the valve should automatically return
to the closed position and reseal.
