Inflating your lifejacket
It is recommended that the following inflation procedures are followed:
1. MANUAL INFLATION
To manually inflate the lifejacket, sharply pull the rubber handle downwards.
The CO2 gas cylinder should inflate the bladder within seconds.
2. ORAL INFLATION
To inflate the lifejacket by mouth, locate the oral inflation tube by opening the
zip at the yellow breakout point on the front panel of the lifejacket. Then after
removing the end cap, blow into the tube until the lifejacket is fully inflated.
3. AUTOMATIC INFLATION
Inflation should occur automatically within seconds of the inflator being
submerged. The automatic capsule is designed to activate the sprung pin
to puncture the CO2 cylinder and inflate the bladder.
CO2 Cylinder size
Model 150N: use 33g
INFORMATION: PRESSURE VARIANCE
With variations in air or water temperatures, topping up by oral inflation may
be required to maintain full buoyancy-especially after prolonged immersion.
Deflating the lifejacket
To deflate the lifejacket, invert the oral-inflation tube end cap and insert it into the
valve. Holding the cap firmly in this position, gently squeeze the lifejacket until all
air or gas has been expelled. Return the cap to its normal position.
Usage below freezing
When the temperature is below freezing, even a fully charged cylinder may not
adequately inflate your lifejacket. Do not use your lifejacket under these conditions
unless it has been partially inflated by mouth.
WARNING: Using the CO2 inflation when your jacket is already fully
inflated can over-pressurise and damage your lifejacket.
