Visually inspect for damage:
5.7.1.1. Fraying
5.7.1.2. Pulled Threads
5.7.1.3. Broken Stitches
Remedial Action: No repairs are allowed. In the case of damage being found, return the Lifejacket to Crewsaver.
5.8.1
Check that the single point release buckle latches and unlatches correctly. Check that the two
screws are flush with the surface and do not affect the latching operation of the buckle. DO NOT test
the tightness of the screws using a conventional screwdriver as this may cause the thread to strip in
the plastic saddle. If the tightness has to be checked it must be done with a torque screwdriver set to
15 lbf/in.
Remedial Action: No repairs are allowed. In the case of damage being found, return the Lifejacket to Crewsaver.
5.9.1.
Check all Markings and Labelling are clear and legible.

This lifejacket is fitted with the Crewsaver CSL water activated light.
5.10.1.1 Check the expiry date of the light. Upon expiry the light should be removed by prising off the
plastic security clip. Take care not to damage the jacket. A new light should then be fitted.
5.10.1.2 Inspect the light for any signs of damage. If there are chips or cracks the light must be
replaced.
5.10.1.3 Check that the light is securely attached to the lifejacket.
5.10.1.4 Ensure that the water activated switch is in the Auto-on position as shown below.
5.10.2
To test this unit to ensure the light is working correctly, immerse the water-activated switch in water. The
light should flash. Remove the light from the water and dry it. The light should stop flashing. If the light
does not flash when immersed in water the unit has expired and must be replaced.

These lights are not repairable; if the light fails inspection it must be replaced.
