USE
The Helly Hansen inflatable lifejacket ensures maximum freedom of movement and is ideal for
use in boats. The jacket can be used in coastal waters/inshore when combined with suitable
clothing. Is not suitable if you are using heavy tools or other equipment. Full performance may not
be acchieved using waterproof clothing or in other circumstances. Refer to the leaflet.
Lifejackets reduce the risk of drowning, but do not guarantee safety in the event of an accident.
USER GUIDELINES
United Moulders Halkey Roberts
Understanding how to use the lifejacket increases safety. Read the manual and practice using the
vest. The lifejacket must be fully inflated to be fully functional. When inflated, it will turn an
unconscious person over to ensure the correct float position, keeping the mouth well clear of water.
• When evacuating at sea with an inflated jacket, keep your arms crossed over the jacket.
• Hang the jacket vertically to dry after use.
• Store jackets in a dark, well-ventilated place.
• Jackets must not be stored in plastic bags.
• Storing and drying in humidity and heat may inflate the jacket.
•
Warning: Gas cylinders are dangerous goods. They should be kept away from children and not
be misused.
• Do not use as a cushion.
• Train yourself in the use of the device.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
The lifespan of the lifejacket will be extended if routine maintenance is carried out annually.
Maintenance intervals start from the date of purchase and are as follows:
1. Rinse the lifejacket, especially after use in seawater. Soiled lifejackets can be washed with
soap and water.
Turn off the automatic inflation mechanism (5) before washing (not applicable for CM Hammar).
Jackets must not be dried at high temperatures or under direct heat.
2. Inspect the CO
2
cartridge annually (not applicable for CM Hammar). Look for corrosion, check that it
has not been triggered and that the weight of the cartridge ma
tches the stamped weight.
3. Check the air chamber for excessive wear. Also check straps, stitching and buckles.
4. For professional use, the automatic inflating mechanism (5) must be replaced annually. For
recreational use, we recommend replacement every two years. For CM Hammar inflators
we recomend replacement after five years.
5. Check the air chamber by blowing it up using the inflation tube. Leave the jacket inflated
overnight. If the jacket has a leak, or is otherwise damaged, it must be taken to an importer-
approved service center. Never attempt to repair the jacket yourself.
NB! CO
2
cartridges must not be triggered once the jacket has been inflated with the filler tube.
FITTING THE AUTOMATIC INFLATION MECHANISM/REARMING INSTRUCTIONS
United Moulders and Halkey Roberts: (for CM Hammar inflators, see separate page)

2. Press the colored clip (2) into the groove so that the trigger arm is held in place.
3. Make sure that the CO
2

4. Screw the CO
2

5. Screw the automatic inflation mechanism (5) firmly into place. Ensure that the colored button
(6) is clearly visible. Only use original CO

See the front page of this booklet which of the three alternatives applies for your lifejacket.
Follow the corresponding instructions on page 1 (United Moulders), 3 (CM Hammar) or 5 (Halkey
Roberts).
DRESS
Put the lifejacket on as you would a normal jacket. Check that the front buckle is properly
closed. Adjust the belt so that it fits tightly around the body. The back strap can be adjusted by
pulling the belt up higher. Attach the crotch straps or leg loops.
SAFETY LINE (IF APPLICABLE)
The safety line (ISO 12401) is designed for protection if you fall overboard – not as a safety line
for falls from great heights. The anchor point must withstand a force of 1000 kg. The line is
unreliable when c
arried loosely.
