CHECKS AND SERVICES

4-5. General

To insure that the life preserver is ready for operation at all

times, it must be inspected systematically so that defects

may be discovered and corrected before they result in

serious damage or failure.

The necessary preventive

maintenance checks and services to be performed are listed

as described in paragraph 4-6. The item numbers indicate

the sequence of minimum inspection requirements. Defects

discovered during operation of the preserver will be noted

for future correction, to be made as soon as operation has

operation were continued.

All deficiencies and

shortcomings will be recorded together with the corrective
