OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE INFORMATION

Certain circumstances will alter the lifejackets performance, such as waves or the wearing of

garments which provide additional buoyancy. The buoyancy provided by the jacket can be

aected if heavy objects are carried in the pockets. The lifejacket will only function correctly

with all the foam pads inserted.

All closed cell foams will slowly lose a proportion of their buoyancy as the foam ages. This

means that after a number of years, especially if it has been carelessly used or stored, the

lifejackets may no longer provide the approved amount of buoyancy required at the time of

manufacture. When three years old it should be tested annually, if the buoyancy falls below

the following minimum buoyancy it should be replaced.

This Jacket has been tested to meet a temperature range between -10ºC and +50ºC as

required by BS EN395.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

9

GENERAL CARE & MAINTENANCE

Check your lifejacket every time you put it on.

Examine it carefully to see that the belt is securely attached and if there is a zip that it is in

working order.

Pay particular attention of the straps, webbing and stitching for signs of abrasion or

damage.

Periodically rinse the lifejacket in fresh water, particularly if it has been in contact with salt

water.

After rinsing, allow the lifejacket to dry naturally before stowing in a dry place.

Oil or other similar marks should be removed by washing with warm soapy water.

Never clean your lifejacket in a washing machine or dry it in a tumble dryer.

Do not use as a cushion.

PERIODICAL CHECKS

Check the fabric for cuts, tears, abrasion and signs of damage caused by heat.

i

TESTING YOUR LIFEJACKET

In an emergency, there is no time to learn how equipment works. Crewsaver recommend that

you try your lifejacket to ascertain its performance before use in an emergency. This will also

help familiarise yourself with the product. Teach the child to oat in this lifejacket. Children

should be encouraged to learn how to put their lifejacket on for themselves.

If you are a weak swimmer it is strongly recommended that you use an inherently buoyant

device or an automatically operated lifejacket.

TRAIN YOURSELF IN THE USE OF THIS DEVICE

Step 1: Put on your lifejacket by following - see Pg 7, Donning Your Lifejacket. It is

important to adjust the belt on a lifejacket to achieve a close t. This reduces the

possibility of the lifejacket riding-up in the water.

Step 2: Stand in shallow water, ensuring that the water is just deep enough for your head to

be above the water’s surface.

Step 3: When in the water see how the lifejacket holds you in the water, noting the position

that it holds you in, with your mouth well clear of the water’s surface and your body

at an angle.

Your lifejacket should be tested whilst wearing oshore clothing. Check that the

lifejacket will turn you from a face down position to a face up position.

NOTE: Some oshore clothing in particular drysuits and immersion suits can

trap air - this may aect the performance of the lifejacket.
