D. Laundering Procedures
Do not dry clean. Do not use chlorine bleach. Do not iron. Do not
dry in front of a radiator or other source of direct heat. Do not
store in a wet condition.
To launder your inflatable:
1. Remove the CO2 gas cylinder.
2. Hand wash or sponge down the fabric in warm soapy water, then rinse
with clean water. If machine washing use the gentle cycle with a mild
detergent or soap.
3. Hang to dry in a well-ventilated area, which is free from direct sunlight.
A plastic coat hanger would be preferable to clothes line clips, so that the
life preserver material is not wrinkled or damaged when wet. Do not
tumble dry.
4. To avoid premature aging of the nylon buoyancy cell and stitching, the life
preserver should not be hung in direct sunlight for extended periods of
time. To avoid mildew hang dry the life preserver after every use, and be
sure not to roll up the product or stow it away while damp.
5. Be sure to replace the CO
2 gas cylinder, if necessary, and check that the
lever on the inflator is in the up or “ready” position with the safety clip in
place. Remember to be following the instructions and observing the
cautions given previously.
6. When dry, store the life preserver unfolded, or on a coat hanger in a dry,
cool, airy environment.
