United Moulders Cartridge
When to replace your United Moulders cartridge
There a several inflation mechanisms used in the manufacturing of lifejackets and to add to confusion, they have expiry dates, use by dates and sometimes a date of manufacture!
The United Moulders will have a 'replace by date' printed alongside the body of the part.
United Moulders recommend the following:
- 'EXP' printed before the date, DO NOT USE and replace immediately
- For light use, replace the cartridge at or before the REPLACE BY date
- RECREATIONAL USE: Replace every two years or by the REPLACE BY date, whichever is sooner and recommend that your lifejacket is inspected at an approved service centre annually
- COMMERCIAL USE: Replace Annually. Do not exceed the REPLACE BY date in any 1-year period. SOLAS approved lifejackets are required to be serviced by an authorised service station annually
