Manual

Art. 25-5540

IMPORTANT!

After you have tested the life jacket in

the water, allow it to air dry thoroughly

and remember to replace the CO

cylinder and water-activated cartridge

with new parts (Biltema spare parts

kit 25-5530). The product is not a life

jacket until it has been in ated.

Prior to Use

Prior to each use, check that the life

jacket is undamaged and make sure

the  ring mechanism is operational by

checking the indicator. A green indica-

tor on the water-activated cartridge

indicates the CO

cylinder is loaded and

has not been used. Also make sure the

cylinder is  rmly screwed to the

bracket.

IMPORTANT!

If the life jacket is not used for an

extended period, the CO

cylinder may

become dislodged from the bracket.

The life jacket may not in ate if the CO

cylinder is loose. Check before each

use that the CO

cylinder and water-

activated cartridge are  rmly tightened.

IMPORTANT!

The life jacket must always be worn

over your clothing, as the outermost

layer. Never wear the life jacket under-

neath clothing such as rain jackets,

wind breakers or sailing gear. Full buoy-

ancy will not be achieved when wearing

waterproof clothing.

4. BUCKLING THE LIFE JACKET

Putting on the Life Jacket

Fasten all buckles. Insert your arms into

the openings between the waistband

and the air chambers, then pull the life

jacket over your head. Fasten the waist

buckle (1 and 2). Adjust the jacket so

that it  ts securely (3). Pull the crotch

strap between your legs and fasten the

buckle. Adjust the length of the crotch

strap so that it  ts tightly (4).

The life jacket can be inﬂ ated in

the following ways:

Automatic Gas Inﬂ ation

An automatically in atable life jacket

uses carbon dioxide gas (CO

) to in ate.

When the water-activated cartridge

comes into contact with water, the

automatic in ation mechanism is

activated. If, for any reason, the life

jacket does not in ate, pull  rmly on

the black cord with red knob on the left

side of the life jacket. This will activate

the CO

cylinder manually to in ate the

life jacket. Automatically in atable life

jackets in ate within  ve seconds after

you are in the water.

Manual Gas Inﬂ ation

For manual in ation, pull the cord with

red knob on the left side of the life

jacket. This will activate the CO

cylin-

der which in ates the life jacket.

Blow to Inﬂ ate

The manual in ation nozzle can be used

to blow additional air into the life jacket

when needed. Remove the cap and

blow into the nozzle. Never in ate the

life jacket manually and then activate

automatic in ation with the CO

cylin-

der; this can create excessive air pres-

sure in the life jacket which may cause

damage and may, in the worst case,

explode. Do not use a pump to in ate.

Whistle

The life jacket is equipped with a whistle

which can be used to draw attention to

your location.

3. USE

Check the following:

1. Make sure the life jacket meets your

requirements in terms of automatic

or manual in ation, with or without

safety harness.

2. Make sure the in ation mechanism

works as intended.

3. Check that the gas cylinder is

undamaged and does not have any

holes, and make sure all the screws

are tight.

Test the Life Jacket in the Water

Practise using the life jacket. Test the

life jacket with full sailing clothing under

controlled conditions and familiarise

yourself with the equipment so that you

feel comfortable and can handle the

life jacket unencumbered in the water.

Teach children to  oat in the life jacket.

How often should I replace my life jacket? Verified

The lifespan of a life jacket depends on factors such as the type of jacket, frequency of use, and storage conditions. It is important to inspect your life jacket regularly for any signs of wear or damage. Life jackets made of foam materials will deteriorate over time, so it's recommended that they should be replace every 5-10 years, while inflatable life jackets should be replace every 3-5 years, or when the manufacturer recommended.
