(3). To open and close the doors, use the zip fastener located on the canopy.
(4). The rainwater pouches, located on the canopy, allow rainwater collection.
(5). When thrown into the sea, the sea anchor reduces drift due to the wind.
(6). The water pouches stabilize the life raft, e.g. when survivors hoist themselves inside the
life raft.

TESTING AND FAULT ISOLATION
1. General
A. Test conditions
See “CHECK” section.
The tests must be carried out on the life raft equipped with all its fitted accessories and
constituent components, in a ready-for-use configuration.
For inflation operations, the source of compressed air must be fitted with a 20-micron filter
and supply clean, dry and de-oiled air.
The structure is inflated through the manual inflating/deflating valves using adapted tooling
(see “SPECIAL TOOLS, FIXTURES AND EQUIPMENT, MATERIALS” section).
After removing the protectors from the manual inflating/deflating valves :
Clean the interior of these valves using compressed air ;
Lightly grease the valve poppet seal using a brush, holding the valve open throughout

(1). Plug the relief valves using a special tool.
(2). Inflate the life raft to a pressure of 320 hPa.
(3). Maintain the overpressure for 5 minutes.
(4). At the end of the test, bring the pressure back down to half its test value (160 hPa) and
check by a detailed examination that the floats show no distortion, tear, loss of adhesion,
slippage or seam breakdown.
(5). After a relaxation period of a minimum of 12 hours, carry out a leak test to check that the
life raft is within the accepted tightness tolerances.
(6). If no faults are noted, put the equipment back into service.
(7). If a fault is noted after the overpressure test, send the equipment back to the
manufacturer or to an approved repair station for examination and repair.
(8). Enter the test pressure and time on the Log Card or on the Equipment Record Card.

B. Leak test
(1). Inflate the floats to a pressure of 170 hPa and the floor to 55 hPa.
(2). Leave the assembly to become stable for 30 minutes. If at the end of this period, the life
raft has not maintained pressure, find the origin of the leaks and carry out the necessary
repairs (see “REPAIR” section).
(3). If the life raft maintains the pressure, proceed as following:

Readjust the pressure to 160 hPa in the floats and 50 hPa in the floor, then measure
the ambient temperature;
Leave the life raft to rest for one hour;
Measure the ambient temperature again. If there has been a variation of more than
3°C, the check is not valid;
Measure the pressures and deduct the pressure variation;
Carry out the temperature variation correction by deducting 4 hPa per °C of increase
and adding 4 hPa per °C of decrease to the pressure variation read.
IMPORTANT NOTE: DO NOT LEAVE THE PRESSURE PICK-UP TOOL (Figure 101)
IN PLACE ON THE VALVE DURING THE TEST.
INSTALL IT TO NOTE THE PRESSURE AND THEN REMOVE IT
IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE OPERATION.
REPLACE THE VALVES PROTECTOR THROUGHOUT THE
TEST.
(4). In the event that the corrected pressure loss is above 40 hPa for the floats and 10 hPa for
the floor, find the leak by passing a sponge soaked in soapy water or leak-detection fluid
over the structure.
Deflate the life raft and carry out the necessary repair (see “REPAIR” section) then repeat
the leak test.
(5). In the event that the corrected pressure loss is below 40 hPa for the floats and 10 hPa for
the floor, the condition of the life raft is considered to be satisfactory and can be returned
to service (see “ASSEMBLY (INCLUDING STORAGE)” section).
(6). Note the test pressure, temperature, barometric pressure and duration values on the Log
Card or the Equipment Record Card.

REPAIR
1. General
It is preferable to replace defective parts rather than to repair them.
However, it is possible for the following repairs to be carried out in approved workshops.
If there is any doubt as to the repair capability, it is recommended to return the defective life
raft to the manufacturer.
The authorized repairs relate to three types of components:
Inflatable components (structure of the life raft) in coated fabric;
Textile components (components bag, straps and cords fitted to the life raft structure,
canopy);
Mechanical components (manual inflating/deflating valves, replacement of the tee union

and sealing washers).
NOTA : No repairs to:
The inflation inlets;
The cylinder;
The hose.
In the event of doubt or noted fault:
Return the life raft or the cylinder only:
To the manufacturer;
To an approved repair station.
Change the cylinder.

A. Repairing an inflatable component (floats)
(1). Gluing procedure
(a). General
Read the instructions on the cement container;
Carry out the gluing in well-ventilated and dry premises, with a relative humidity
below 60%;
Avoid introducing solvent into the interior of the inflatable component;
Change the solvent and the rag when they are dirty;
Do not touch the surfaces after cleaning. The presence of any foreign body can
lead to poor gluing. For the same reasons, do not leave the cleaned surfaces
uncovered for more than a few minutes;
Avoid air currents that cause condensation of atmospheric humidity on the glued
area (due to the accelerated evaporation of the solvents).

ASSEMBLY (INCLUDING STORAGE)
1. General
This section describes the preparation operations for the folding and for the final packing.
The final folding procedures are described separately (see “APPENDIX 1”).
For assembly, use only original parts (see IPL).
Unless otherwise specified, the polyamide straps and cords must be hot cut.
The knots to be used are listed at the beginning of the manual. To make things easier, a
system of abbreviations is used in the text.
The necessary tooling and servicing materials are listed in the “SPECIAL TOOLS, FIXTURES
AND EQUIPMENT, MATERIALS” section.
The storage conditions and procedures are detailed at the end of this section.
Assemble the life raft on a flat floor covered with a clean tarpaulin larger than the inflated life
raft and free of any foreign or corrosive body likely to damage the structure.
Inflate the floats through the manual inflating/deflating valves with a source of clean, dry and
deoiled air (the installation must include a 20 micron filter).
Do not start any folding until you are familiar with the complete specific folding procedure (see
“APPENDIX 1”).
Only carry out the preparatory assembly with components that have been checked.
Components with expiry dates must be compatible with storage or the service duration
between inspections of the life raft.

However, it is preferable to keep the stored life raft in normal temperature conditions of
24 ±10°C.
For safety, the inflation cylinder is fitted with a burst safety disc that is broken by excess
pressure.
(3). Life rafts must not be stacked in storage.
(4). The openings of the cylinder outlet, the Tee union or the inflation inlets must be
protected, if required, by blanking plugs.
(5). The manual inflating/deflating valves must be covered by their protectors.
(6). Cylinders must be fitted with their warning flag.
B. Transport
For return to a specialized workshop or to the manufacturer, the life raft must be returned
folded with its cylinder installed and fitted with its warning flag.
Any return of the cylinder alone to a specialized workshop or to the manufacturer must be
carried out in a container that complies with the regulations.
The separate components must be put into a sealed enclosure to keep them free from dust
