Precaution

Check the airbag:

Make sure that the airbag is free of cracks or holes. If these defects are found, replace the new lifebuoy.

 

Check the automatic inflator

Check the Automatic inflator section down below to see the operation instruction.

 

Check the gas cylinder

When the automatic inflator is triggered, the gas cylinder inflates the airbag. Before use, check that the installed gas cylinder is of the correct size and free of breakage. When checking the cylinder, unscrew the gas cylinder and observe the screw surface. If damage to the screw plane is found, the gas cylinder needs to be replaced. If the gas cylinder is in good condition, install it correctly on the automatic inflator.

1. When installing the gas cylinder, if the trigger is not installed correctly, the automatic inflator will not be able to inflate the lifebuoy properly.
2. Gas cylinders can only be used once, replace cylinders and tablets in a timely manner after use.
3. The protective coating on the exterior of the gas cylinder may corrode under wet conditions or after a period of use, and if so, replace the gas cylinder in a timely manner.

Airdry - If the lifebuoy is wet, hang it on a coated hanger and airdry it thoroughly. Do not place it directly under the sun and do not use any heat source while drying.
