Cleaning the inflation bladder after water has entered it: 

It is critical that you clean the inside of the

vest bladder if salt water or chlorinated water has entered it. Normally, water will not intrude into the
bladder, but it will do so if the OPV was opened in the water. This is common when users partially deflate
the vest while swimming back to their boat. A punctured bladder will also allow water to enter the bladder
chamber and not inflate fully. If water enters the bladder, salt crystals will form, which will abrade and
eventually damage the bladder. Chlorine water will degrade the bladder material. You can avoid having
water enter your vest by only pulling the OPV cord when the OPV is in air.
To clean the inside effectively, you will have to dunk the bladder in a pail of fresh water and open the OPV
to allow more water to enter the bladder. After a few cups have entered, slosh  the water around and
squeeze the vest to empty the water out while simultaneously pulling the OPV cord. You can suck the last
remaining few drops from the oral inflation hose taking care not to swallow.

Preserving the life of your  PSLV soft goods:

 To extend the life of your  PSLV, you need to follow

these preventative maintenance guidelines:
1.   Store the  PSLV partially inflated, away from direct sunlight, and in a clean cool, dry area. Do not store
the  PSLV in an enclosed space, such as a car trunk, where temperatures may fall below 0ºF (-18ºC) or
rise above 120ºF (49ºC).
2.   Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and extreme heat. Nylon fabric can quickly fade when
exposed to the sun’s ultraviolet rays, and extreme heat may damage the welded bladder seams.
3.   Avoid repeated or prolonged use in heavily chlorinated water, which can cause the PSLV fabric to
discolor and decay prematurely and will require more frequent maintenance.
4.   Do not allow the PSLV to chafe against any sharp objects or rough surfaces that could abrade or
puncture the bladder. Do not set or drop heavy objects such as block weights on the PSLV.
5.   Avoid any contact with oil, gasoline, aerosols, or chemical solvents.
6.   Whenever you travel, protect your PSLV from falls from heights, as the weight of the activator could
puncture the inflation bladder, or damage the actuator and render it unsafe.

TOP: WHEN THE UNIT IS SOMEWHAT DRY,
APPLY BOESHIELD T-9, OR WD-40 INTO

BOTH HOLES.

LEFT: FOR BOAT TRIPS, AFTER RINSING,
FLUSH WITH ANTI-SALT SOLUTION AND
LEAVE THE ACTUATOR STANDING LIKE
THIS TO KEEP THE LIQUID POOLED IN
THE CHAMBER.

Warning 

If you can hear any leaks, or if the bladder begins to deflate within 5 minutes, DO NOT

attempt to use the PSLV until it has received service by OSS.
