Maintenance, storage
and transportation
Maintaining the installation
on-board the vessel
It is recommended to inspect the on-board
installation at least weekly. In particular, it
should be checked that the lashing strap
is tight and that the container is properly
secured to the cradle.
If the lashing strap is slack or loose, tighten
it as necessary.
However, inspection intervals should
depend on how offen the lashing strap is
found to be slack or loose.
Maintaining the container
during on-board storage, maintain the
container simply by cleaning it with fresh
water. should fresh water and brushing
prove to be insufficient, car shampoo may
be used. autopolish may also be used to
restore the shining surface. avoid the use
of any chemicals.
transportation of
container packed liferaft
VIKING recommends that the liferaft con-
tainer should be transported in horizontal
position. do not place any other equip-
ment near or on top of the container during
transport, and make sure that it is placed
on a smooth surface to prevent scratching
of the container surface.
instructions
transportation and storage of
valise packed liferaft
In principle, the same recommendations
apply to the transportation of liferafts in
valises (as for container packed liferaft),
which must be carried ONlY by the
handles primarily to prevent possible
damage to the equipment.
to avoid excessive wear, store the valise
securely so that it does not slide back and
forth.
Valise packed liferafts are made of fabric
and MUst be stowed in a dry and easily
accessible location at all times and may
NOt be stored near oil products such as
diesel/gasoline/petrol etc.
Improper stowage may cause damage to
the liferaft or its contents.
service information
the registration label is located on the
container or in the valise pocket, and spe-
cifies the date of the next recommended
service inspection.
