| | | Servicing a life raft leaves no place for amateur or improvised solutions. Servicing must be carried out at an authorised Zodiac service station by qualified personnel who are regularly trained and follow strict factory procedures. Fackaged in a valise or a container, the rafts must undergo this inspection every three years from their date of sale (up to 15 years)*. This inspection is indispensable in order to check that your raft and its equipment are in good condition. For Open Sea ISO 9650 rafts provided with a separate > 24 hours grab bag, you are also responsible for ensuring the good condition of the contents of the grab bag. Your Zodiac service station would be happy to do this and we strongly recommend that you bring your grab bag for servicing with your life raft. When you put your boat up for the winter, use this opportunity to take your life raft in for its annual 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. Then you can get to know your raft. 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 CQ bottle, • check the emergency equipment, • re-pack the life raft and its equipment in a shrink-wrap waterproof pocket. 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life raft gets older other tests are added: • hydrostatic test of the gas bottle, • replacement of equipment which is out of date or will be before the next service.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. | | |
