IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
For Imperial Exposure Suit users with High Rider Ring
SAFETY MODIFICATION NEEDED
Send or call for a FREE Safety Modification Kit
WHO: If you own an Imperial Survival Suit equipped with a High Rider Ring (Model 1409) manufactured before April 1980-contact Aquanautics Corporation for a FREE safety modification kit.
To determine when your suit was made, look for the manufacturing date stamp inside the back of the neck of the suit. If there is NO date stamp, the suit was manufactured prior to 1981. Then check your High Rider Ring. If there are no plastic tie-down straps on the inflator tube, it was manufactured before April 1980 & needs modification.
WHY: A defect may exist causing the inflator assembly on the High Rider Ring to separate, preventing its proper inflation. Proper inflation of this ring is important because it holds the body in a more upright position - increasing your chance of survival.
The only modification needed is to the High Rider Ring accessory. The suit itself is in no other way affected.
FREE FIX: The modification required is easy and quick. And there's no need to bring in the suit for this modification. We will send you a FREE safety modification kit to correct this problem.
This do-it-yourself kit contains four simple-to-install tie-down straps. These will ensure a secure connection to keep the High Rider Ring inflated when in use (see illustrations at right). Though this modification is quick and easy, it's important that it be made for your assured safety. The kit meets Coast Guard standards.
