Never attempt to repair RESTUBE by yourself!
Buoy intact? Open the pocket and unfold the buoy. Inflate the buoy firmly using the
oral valve and leave inflated for about 16 hours. If the buoy is still firmly inflated after
this time, it is airtight.
Does the mouthpiece work? Remove the cap of the oral valve. Plug the back of the
cap into the oral valve. The oral valve must close completely after the cap is pressed
down and pulled out. Put the cap back on.
Are pocket and straps free from damage? Check pocket, straps, buckle
and seams for any damages. The material should not have holes and the tear
strength should not be impaired (e.g., due to frequent, strong sunlight).
Is the CO2 cartridge unimpaired? Replace empty, corroded, or rusty gas cartridges
with a new original RESTUBE-CO2-Cartridge.
NOTICE
Do not place RESTUBE on heater! Do not dry RESTUBE in direct sunlight! Observe
care symbols on waist strap label. Do not use cleaning agents containing alcohol or
solvents! Functional parts (valve, trigger, thread for CO2 cartridge) must be free from
dirt before next use!

Close oral valve
•
Rinse bouy and bag with clear water

Clean with mild commercial detergent or mild soapy water
•
Rinse again with clear water
