PROCEDURE
Note: It is recommended that the liferaft be packed by two men.
1. Place the liferaft on a platform or in an open area with enough room to maneuver the liferaft and
valise during packing.
2. Locate the topping-off (inflate/deflate) valve. Using a vacuum adapter (Part No. 95-41129-101)
connected to a vacuum source, evacuate all air from the compartment. Re-cap the topping off
valve as deflation progresses to prevent ingress of air. (See Fig. 3)
Note:
It is ESSENTIAL that the chambers are completely vacuumed since any air left
in them will make it very difficult to properly pack the liferaft and associated
equipment into the container/valise.
3.
Fit the fully charged gas cylinder into the cylinder holder at the rear of the liferaft. Once the
cylinder is secure, remove the diffuser cap (Part No. 95-301-017) and connect the straight outlet
to the fixed inlet check. Tighten to a torque of 14-15 ft-lbs. (See Fig. 4)
(See end of this Section for Charging of Cylinders).
4. Properly stow all components in the liferaft before folding. For canopy versions only, install (2)
canopy buckle straps and (4) metal key rings to the lifeline/graspline loop patches. (See Fig. 5)
5. Spread out the liferaft on the packing surface. (See Fig. 6A, 7A, & 8A of Folding Diagrams). Start
by folding the raft from the left side being sure to get the fold crease as close to the cylinder as
possible. (See Figs. 6B & 6C, 7B & 7C, and 8B & 8C of Folding Diagrams)
6. For the Coastal Compacts 4 & 6 ONLY, fold back the remainder of the left side. (See Figs. 7D &
8D)
7. Fold the right side of the raft over top the left side. Make sure to fold as close to the cylinder
valve as possible. (See Fig. 6D, 7E, & 8E – Folding Diagrams) For the Coastal Compacts 4 & 6
ONLY, fold back the remainder of the right side. (See Figs. 7F & 8F of Folding Diagrams)
8. Starting at the end of the raft furthest away from the cylinder, begin folding the raft inwards.
Before the fold is complete, connect the battery plug to the battery. Raft edge should match with
raft centerline. (See Fig. 6D & 6E, 7F & 7G, and 8F & 8G of Folding Diagrams)
9. Fold end with cylinder attached inward until the cylinder centerline matches the raft centerline.
The cylinder should be directly over the handpump. (See Fig. 6F, 7H, & 8H of Folding Diagrams)
10. Fold ends of raft until they are snug around the cylinder. (See Fig. 6G & 7I – Folding Diagrams)
The raft folded dimensions are listed in Table D.
