4. Storage, care, maintenance and disposal of your RESTUBE product

Lifespan & storability
RESTUBE products are designed to have a long lifespan and can be triggered from 50 to 250(*)
times, depending on the version. Once used, the device is to be stored outside its packaging, well
ventilated and at a maximum temperature of 28°C. The maximum lifespan of the device is 5 years
from the date of purchase, assuming that the care and maintenance instructions are followed.
If used frequently (more than once per week) or in tropical climates, the product lifespan may be
shorter. If humidity is high, the device should be removed from its box. Do not put RESTUBE products
on radiators and do not dry or store them in direct sunlight.
Care
Maintain your RESTUBE product after every use. Five minutes of your time will help to make sure
that you carry on being able to enjoy the product.
>>> Take the bladder out of its bag and check all parts for external damage: Bag, bladder, trigger,
trigger cord and CO2 cartridge. None of the components should show signs of heavy use, significant
rust or damage.
>>> Following use in saltwater or chlorinated water: Remove the bladder from its bag, and rinse
both in fresh water, ensuring that the oral valve is closed and that the cartridge is screwed in first. If
the product has become particularly dirty, wash it with mild detergent or a weak solution of lye and
rinse it with fresh water afterwards. Do not use cleaning agents which contain alcohol or solvents.

nut on the trigger mechanism is facing the label with
the nut symbol
