Crewsaver Information Bulletin - United Moulders MK3 Head

NOTE: This information bulletin ONLY applies to inflatable Lifejackets, automatically operated, manufactured prior to 1997.

Our Lifejacket servicing department has brought to our attention an issue with the United Moulders Mk3 Standard Automatic Head. This component was fitted to Crewsaver Crewfit and Survivor inflatable Lifejackets manufactured 12 years ago and older.

Manufacturers tests indicate this component to be at the end of its safe and usable life and should now be replaced.

To determine if your Lifejacket is affected please view the images on the left and below. If your Lifejacket is fitted with the Mk3 Standard Automatic Head (shown left), then please contact Crewsaver.

Providing your Lifejacket has been serviced annually and correctly maintained as per the user manual guidelines, replacement of the firing head will keep your Lifejacket in safe working order.

It is essential that the head replacement be undertaken by Crewsaver and on no account should you attempt to replace this yourself.

We strongly recommend owners of Crewsaver Crewfit or Survivor Lifejacket with a Mk3 Standard Automatic Head fitted to contact Crewsaver direct on Tel. 02392 528621 or by email sales@crewsaver.co.uk| to discuss the replacement process.

If your Lifejacket is fitted with any of the automatic heads, shown below, then it is not affected.

We always recommend an annual service on lifejackets, as per owners manual.
