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
the operation until the brush is withdrawn.
CAUTION : TAKE CARE NOT TO BLOCK THE VALVE POPPET WHILE USING THE
BRUSH.
All tests must be entered onto the Log Card.

2. Tests
Carry out a leak test before any reconditioning of the life raft.
If the inflatable structure has been repaired, carry out an overpressure test, then a minimum of
12 hours later, a leak test (see “REPAIR” and “CHECK” sections).

A. Overpressure test (Figure 101)

SAFETY CAUTION: DURING THIS TEST, KEEP AWAY FROM THE LIFE RAFT.
DO NOT CARRY OUT ANY EXAMINATION DURING THE TEST.

25-64-68 REV 10
PAGE 101
 AERAZUR
COMPONENT MAINTENANCE MANUAL
SR10 LIFE RAFT

(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 Zodiac Services
or to an approved repair station for examination and repair.
NOTE : Approved repair stations details are available on the Zodiac Services website:
http://www.services.zodiacaerospace.com. Refer to the list of recommended
approved repair stations, Paragraph 4.

(8). Enter the test pressure and time on the Log Card or on the Equipment Record Card.

COMPONENT MAINTENANCE MANUAL
SR10 LIFE RAFT

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.

COMPONENT MAINTENANCE MANUAL
SR10 LIFE RAFT

C. Manual inflating/deflating valves leak test (Figure 101)

To be carried out at the time of the structure leak test.
With the protector removed, spread some soapy water or a small quantity of leak-detection
fluid in the opening of the valve.
If bubbles appear, there is a leak at the valve poppet and the valve must be replaced (see
“REPAIR” section).

D. Leak test on the inflation inlets

NOTE : This test is to be carried out only if the final pressure reading exceeds tolerances, or
in case of a substantial leak (whistling, etc.).
To be carried out at the time of the structure leak test.
Spread soapy water or a small quantity of leak-detection fluid on the bases rounder.
If bubbles appear, there is a leak at the fitting.
The structure must be returned to Zodiac Services or to an approved repair station for
examination and repair.

E. Testing the lighting system (as applicable)

(See the “SPECIAL TOOLS, FIXTURES AND EQUIPMENT, MATERIALS” section)

(1). Testing the light system and its water-activated battery

Check that there are no cracks, impacts or swellings in the battery's casing. Check that
the electrical connecting wire and the light are in good condition.
A distorted battery casing will indicate that the battery has been damaged by water or
humidity and is therefore unusable.
Checking the battery. Use the lighting tester: put the two probes of the equipment in
contact with the two stands of the electrical wire: the lamp should illuminate.
In the event of faults, reject the system and replace it with a new lighting system.

(2). Testing the light and flash light assembly (P/N 992374)
No testing procedure for this lighting system.
Systematically replace the equipment by the one described below. Refer to
“ASSEMBLY (INCLUDING STORAGE)” section for mounting.

(3). Testing the light (P/N 992580), the flash light (P/N 992578) with its battery (P/N 992579)
or the flash light (P/N 992841) with its battery (P/N 992842)
Activate the lights during 1 minute and check that there is no damage.
In the event of faults, reject the system and replace it with a new lighting system.
Change the lighting system at the expiry date (refer to “ASSEMBLY (INCLUDING
STORAGE)” section).

REPAIR

1. General

It is recommended to replace defective parts rather than to repair them.

However, it is possible to carry out repairs in approved workshops on:

Inflatable components (structure of the life raft);

Textile components (components bag, straps and cords fitted to the life raft structure,
canopy);
Mechanical components (manual inflating/ deflating valves, tee union and sealing
washers).
If there is any doubt as to the repair capability, it is recommended to return the defective life
raft to Zodiac Services.
NOTE : Approved repair stations details are available on the Zodiac Services website:
http://www.services.zodiacaerospace.com. Refer to the list of recommended approved
repair stations, “TESTING AND FAULT ISOLATION” section.
Every repair must be note on the corresponding log card.

Replace parts that are damaged beyond the repair limits.

Repaired inflatable elements must be checked and tested before being put back into service
(see “CHECK” and “TESTING AND FAULT ISOLATION” sections).

See “SPECIAL TOOLS, FIXTURES AND EQUIPMENT, MATERIALS” section for the
equipment and products required.

NOTA : No repairs on:

The inflation inlets;

The cylinder;

The hose.
If there is any doubt or fault, return the life raft and/ or the cylinder to Zodiac Services or to an
approved repair station.

2. Repair of inflatable elements

A. Type of repair (Figure 601)

Depending on the type of defect in the fabric of a damaged element, there are four possible
repair procedures:

(1). For tears less than 30 mm long and punctures, the repair must be carried out in a normal
workshop using the repair kit. The tears must be located more than 30 mm away from the
seams or inflation connections.
Only 3 repairs per inflatable element are allowed.

(2). For minor defects (e.g. as local abrasion, permanent stain…) which do not involve the
fabric structure integrity (e.g. absence of tear or puncture), the repair must be carried out
in a normal workshop using the repair kit. Repair is a simple overlap patching. Use o
round patch on the external fabric surface only.

(3). If a tear crosses a seam, the repair must be carried out in an approved repair station or
by Zodiac Services.

(4). Unsticking cases (refer to the relevant paragraph).

C. Bonding procedures (cases of tears less than 30 mm)

(1). General
CAUTION : BONDING OPERATIONS SHOULD BE CARRIED OUT IN DRY
PREMISES WHERE TEMPERATURE IS BETWEEN 15 AND 25°C AND
RELATIVE HUMIDITY IS BELOW 60%.
THE SOLVENTS AND ADHESIVES USED ARE FLAMMABLE AND
TOXIC TO EYES, SKIN AND RESPIRATORY SYSTEM.
EYES AND SKIN NEED PROTECTION (GOGGLES, VINYL GLOVES,
ETC).
AVOID PROLONGED AND REPEATED CONTACTS WITH THESE
MATERIALS.
WORK IN A VENTILATED ROOM AWAY FROM ANY HEAT SOURCE,
SPARKS OR FLAMES.
Avoid solvent entering the inflatable element through the tear.
Change the solvent and the cloth when they become dirty.
Once the areas are clean, do not touch them. Any foreign body may impede adhesion.
For the same reason, do not leave cleaned areas in open air for more than a few
minutes.

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 in the “APPENDIX 1”.

For assembly, use only original parts (see illustrated part list).

Unless anything is said to the contrary, 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 below at the end of the section.

Assemble the life raft on a flat floor covered with a clean tarpaulin larger than the inflated life
raft and is 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
de-oiled 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.

12. Storage and transport

A. Storage conditions

(1). Store the life raft on a clean surface, free and away from of any products that are
corrosive or likely to cause damage. The life raft must be placed in dry premises and
preferably in its original transport packing.

(2). The permitted extreme temperatures for long-term storage are -30°C to +70°C.
However, it is preferable to keep the stored life raft within the 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 during the storage.

(4). The cylinder outlet, the tee union or the inflation inlets openings must be protected by
blanking plugs if required.

(5). The manual inflating/deflating valves must be covered by their protectors.

(6). Cylinders must be fitted with their safety streamers.

B. Transport
When returned to an approved repair station or to Zodiac Services, the life raft must be
taken back folded, accompanied by its cylinder installed and fitted with its warning flag.

Any return of the cylinder alone to an approved repair station or to Zodiac Services 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
and humidity.
