AnnuAl inSPectionthe importance of annual inspection!Inflatable lifejackets require inspection regardless of whether they have been inflated or not. A pre-wear check can be done by following the instructions on the next page. Failure to carry out the annual inspection may cause your inflatable lifejacket to malfunction! The annual inspection is best carried out by our accredited service

stations, or as an alternative you can perform a simplified inspection yourself. Refer to page 4 in this information brochure for instructions. Information of our accredited service stations are to be found on our web page: www.baltic.se

Inflatable lifejackets have an inflation valve either automatic or manualconnected to an airtight bladder. To operate the manual valve you simply pull the toggle on the right hand side of the jacket downwards with a jerk and the bladder will start to inflate immediately. The automatic lifejacket will operate and inflate once it has been immersed in water for three seconds. The automatic can be operated

manually and both types can be inflated orally by the tube. The oral tube is used to deflate the lifejacket. N.B! After gas inflation the life-jacket must be rearmed. Inside the lifejacket you will find instructions as to which rearming kit to use. Instructions to complete the reaming procedure are included with our reaming kits.

every time you wear your inflatable lifejacket you should check the following:

1. check the co2 cylinderUnscrew the CO2 cylinder anti clockwise and make sure it is not pierced. Screw the unpierced CO2 cylinder back tightly by hand clockwise. A pierced CO2 cylinder is empty and must be replaced.

2. check the safety indicators and cartridge/bobbinAutomatic version:Check both safety indicators. If either of the green indicators is missing and/or the CO2 cylinder is pierced the lifejacket must be rearmed. Carefully follow the instruc-tions on the next page or the instructions enclosed with our rearming kits. Check that the cartridge/bobbin is in date. See page 6.

Manual version:Check the safety indicator. If it is missing, the CO2 cylin-der is empty and must be replaced. Carefully follow the instructions on page 5 or the instructions enclosed with our rearming kits.

3. check pull knobCheck that the manual inflation pull knob is accessible when donned.
