The Importance of Servicing

When servicing, the service station will:

• open the container (or the valise),

• unfold and inflate the life raft,

• test the inflation system (firing head, tubes and valves),

• weigh the CC^ bottle,

• check the emergency equipment,

• re-pack the life raft and its equipment in a new waterproof vacuum protection pouch.

As the life raft gets older other tests are added:

• hydrostatic test of the gas bottle,

• replacement of equipment which is out of date or will be before the next service.

• If in accordance with your national regulation.

Servicing a life raft leaves no place for amateurs or improvised solutions. Servicing must be carried out at an authorized Zodiac service station by certified technicians who are regularly trained and follow strict factory procedures.

Fackaged in a valise or a container, the life rafts must undergo this inspection every three years from their date of sale (up to 15 years)*. This inspection is invaluable in order to ensure that your raft and its equipment are in good condition.

When you put your boat up for the winter, use this opportunity to take your life raft in for its inspection. It's a good idea to ask the service station to show you the raft as it is taken from the valise or canister for the inspection procedure. This way you can get to know your raft.

A video that tells all about your life raft

Zodiac, striving to innovate, provides a DVD with every life raft. This video was developed with Bernard Reury, a Marine Consultant specialized in the organization of training courses for survival at sea. This video shows the raft, its construction, the suitable places to stow onboard, how to use it, dos and don'ts and words of advice about safety and additional emergency equipment. A fully detailed owner's manual and this video helps you make sure that you are prepared to deal with an emergency situation and that you know how to use your safety equipment properly.
