Despite its small size, the inflator is of huge importance for your lifejacket's
performance. The inflator's mission is to puncture the gas cylinder and
give your lifejacket full buoyancy when you need it. The automatic Hammar
Inflator with manual backup has some unique features that are designed to
improve your safety, even during the roughest conditions at sea.
FEATURES OF THE HAMMAR LIFEJACKET INFLATOR

• Single point indicator
• No service requirements for the Hammar Inflator for 5 years
HOW DOES THE HAMMAR INFLATOR WORK?
The Hammar Inflator activates automatically when submerged and a pressure
difference of about 10 cm is reached. The lifejacket will reach full buoyancy within
seconds and it is designed to ensure fast and reliable activation even in the most
extreme weather conditions. It is important that you don the lifejacket according to
the manufacturer's instructions in order to secure the function of the lifejacket and for
automatic inflation.

SERVICE / MAINTENANCE
The Hammar Inflator needs no service or
maintenance. Just ensure that the inflator is
replaced after the five years expiry date or when
the single point indicator is red.
IN WATER PERFORMANCE
When a pressure difference of about 10 cm is obtained,
the inflator activates automatically. If you are wearing a
survival suit or other clothing that increases your buoyancy,
you might want to activate the lifejacket before the pressure
difference of about 10 cm is reached. Activate the inflator
manually by using the pull-tab. Make sure you know how
to reach the pull-tab on your lifejacket.
REARMING KIT
Ask your dealer for the rearming kit suitable for your lifejacket.
REPACKING
Before packing the lifejacket according to the manufacturer´s instruction, deflate the
lifejacket through the oral tube. Make sure that all residual air is pressed out from
the bladder.
REMEMBER THE ANNUAL SERVICE OF YOUR LIFEJACKET
All inflatable lifejackets need an annual service. Check the instructions from
your lifejacket manufacturer.
