Lifejacket Care and Maintenance
Never try to repair a Lifejacket yourself. You could cause more damage and render the Lifejacket irreparable or affect the warranty. Always return the Lifejacket to Crewsaver for repairs or servicing.
Check your Lifejacket for signs of wear or abrasion every time you put it on. See that the belts are securely attached. Check the straps, webbing and stitching for signs of damage. If any damage is found, do not use your Lifejacket. Return your Lifejacket to Crewsaver for examination and repair quote.
