Making the inflator operational after use
1. Place the lifejacket on a smooth, flat
surface and wipe off any water. Hold
the gas cylinder through the fabric,
using one hand.
2. Insert metal key as shown in 2a
and turn the key counter-clockwise
(2b) between black locking ring and
labelled yellow cap. The black locking
ring will now turn counter-clockwise.
3. Now turn black locking ring counter-
clockwise (3a) and lift off cap (3b).
(cap = yellow inflator operating head).
Dispose of used cap.
4. Squeeze sealing ring to elongate and
remove the inflator body through the
sealing ring.
Dispose of used inflator body in an
environmentally approved manner.
5. Check that the indicator is green.
Insert new inflator body with gas
cylinder pointing upwards inside the
lifejacket. Let the sealing ring rest on
the inflator body around the four lugs.
6. Now check the new manual/automatic
cap as follows:
1. Single point indicator showing
green?
2. Expiry date OK?
If YES is the answer to both these
questions, then proceed as follows.
If NO, get a new cap.
7. Hold the gas cylinder through the
fabric of the lifejacket (7a). Position
the replacement cap with the water
inlet valve pointing to the right (7b) and
press it FIRMLY onto the inflator body
and sealing ring.
8. While pressing FIRMLY onto the
inflator body turn the black locking
ring clockwise into the locked position.
Pull on the cap to make sure it has
locked onto the inflator body.
9. CHECK:
To see that the indicator on the cap is
green; that the pull to inflate lanyard
is present and that the locking ring is
locked. (9a) When the locking ring is
locked, it cannot be turned counter-
clockwise by hand. If your lifejacket
has been used and/or the Hammar
Inflator replaced, always inflate the
jacket through the oral tube (9b) and
check that it stays inflated at least
overnight. If the Lifejacket fails the
inflation test contact your nearest
service station for further check.
Empty the lifejacket again by pushing
in the non-return valve in the top
of the oral tube and press out ALL
RESIDUAL AIR from the bladder, so
that the jacket may be folded properly.
Let the lifejacket dry before packing.
When not in use always store your
Lifejacket in dry and well ventilated
space.
Don't forget the annual service on
your lifejacket!

checking and annual service, you are
