Maintenance Schedule
Annual Service: Inflatable PFDs require annual inspection and re-arming. Check manufacturer recommendations for specific service intervals. Replace CO2 cartridges and bobbins annually or after any deployment.
Visual Inspection: Before each use, inspect life jackets for tears, worn straps, damaged buckles, and proper inflation mechanism status. Replace any damaged components immediately.
Storage: Store life jackets in cool, dry locations away from direct sunlight. Use storage bags to protect from UV damage and contamination.
Proper maintenance ensures your life jackets remain Coast Guard approved and ready for emergency use. Don't compromise safety with expired or damaged components - keep genuine replacement parts on hand for regular maintenance and emergency repairs.
