Maintenance Tips
-
Store dry and protected from UV: Cool, shaded storage preserves TPU fabric, welded seams, and valise integrity.
-
Inspect valise & quick‑access path: Check for wear, cracking, or compromised straps; ensure the red pull tab and painter line are free of obstruction.
-
Avoid compression or stacking: Heavy pressure can damage internal components and make deployment unreliable.
-
Check included survival tools: Verify hand pump, sea anchor, bailer, and USCG/SOLAS water‑activated light are present and functional.
-
Rinse after salt exposure: Freshwater rinse helps reduce corrosion on metal parts and prolongs valise life.
-
Crew familiarization & drills: Practice rapid deployment and boarding so all aboard can act confidently when needed.
