Hand Flare - COMET

Purpose:

• The Comet Red Handflare is a short-range distress signal used to pinpoint position.
• It may be carried on the ship’s bridge and is a requirement in ships’ lifeboats and liferafts.
• Suitable for use on other commercial and recreational boats.

Unique Features:

• Telescopic Handle: The unique, compact, telescopic handle allows easy extension for safe operation and saves space when stowed in liferafts.
• Activation: To ignite, fully extend the handle, remove the red end cap, and sharply pull the toggle away from the body.
• Usage: Hold the handflare above your head, outboard, and downwind.

Storage and Disposal:

• Ideally, the Comet Red Handflare should be stored in the robust, specially designed polybottle or in a dry, easily accessed location at ambient temperature.
• When disposing of the handflare, follow local regulations for hazardous items.
