>>> The bladder and its bag should be opened and hung out to dry. Once dry, pack the
system back up in accordance with the packing instructions.
Maintenance
With a little care, you will be able to maintain your undamaged RETUBE product yourself.
If you are unsure about something, contact us by email: info@restube.com.
We will be happy to carry out a check for you - all you will have to pay for is the costs of
postage and for any replacement parts which may be needed. NOTE: Never carry out any
repairs on your RESTUBE product yourself!
Maintenance intervals
At least every year, as well as before any longer periods of use. Additionally, maintenance
should also be carried out following every inflation.
Visual check
Check all components for damage, wear or deposits: Bag & stitching, waistband and
buckle, bladder, trigger, trigger cord, CO2 cartridge and CO2 cartridge thread (to do this,
unscrew the cartridge and screw it back in again)
Trigger test
We suggest that you trigger your RESTUBE product in the water, so that you can expe-
rience the buoyancy yourself. Once back on land, unscrew the cartridge and move the
release lever as if triggering the device. The pin should move inside the fitting for the
cartridge.
Oral valve test
Remove the cap from the valve and depress the oral valve in order to allow some CO2 to
escape. Afterwards, the oral valve should be completely sealed again. Next, empty the
float entirely via the oral valve. Next, inflate the float via the oral valve until it is firm,
using only your breath to do so.
Air-tightness of the float
Having completely inflated the float by blowing into it, leave it somewhere where the
temperature is stable for 24 hours. Should it lose a lot of air during this period, the prod-
uct will need to be replaced. NOTE: Pure CO2 slowly diffuses through the material which
the bladder is made of. It is therefore normal for the float to slowly empty over a period of
15-30 hours if it has been filled with pure CO2 from the cartridge.
Getting ready for the next use
Pack the dry RESTUBE product up according to its packing instructions. Ensure that the
old cartridge, which has been pierced and has a hole, is replaced with a new, intact one.
NOTE: Only use genuine RESTUBE CO2 cartridges, as the inflation function can otherwise
be adversely affected. The cartridges conform to EN ISO 12402-7 as well as UL 1191. They
are 1. made to fit the trigger and have a very thin pierceable cap, 2. weighted for the exact
amount needed to fill the bladder and 3. are very resistant to sea water.
Disposal
Bag and belt can be disposed of in the general waste. The CO2 cartridges can only be
disposed of in the general waste if they are empty.
