Holding the cap firmly in this position, gently squeeze the lifejacket until all air or gas has
been expelled. Return the cap to its normal position.

Maintaining your Deckvest Duro

Maintaining this Deckvest should be the responsibility of one sole user. As the user you are
strongly advised to familiarise yourself fully with the Deckvest before using it as a lifejacket.
We advise that you follow a 3-level checking routine, easily carried out by yourself:
1. During Use, check buckles and other fastenings regularly.
2. Before and after use, examine for damage or excessive abrasion, wear, tear or
contamination. Particular attention must be paid to the stitching and webbing,
including the less accessible areas.
3. Every three months, carry out a complete inspection, checking:
a. The fabric: for cuts, tears, abrasion and damage caused by heat, chemicals etc.
b. The lifejacket: to check for leaks, inflate your lifejacket through the oral tube until
firm and leave for 24hrs. Any loss of firmness indicates leakage and means it
is unsafe.
To check the oral valve, fully inflate the lifejacket and hold the tube under water. If
bubbles appear, deflate and re-inflate to test.
If a leak persists, do not use your lifejacket until it has been professionally serviced at
your nearest service centre.
c. The components: remove and inspect all components.
Ensure C0 cylinder is screwed in tight.
