5 STEPS TO SELF-CHECK
YOUR INFLATABLE LIFEJACKET
STEP 1
Check for visible signs of
wear or damage. Ensure all
fastenings and buckles are
in good working order.
STEP 2
Following manufacturer's
instructions, reveal the
inflation system and oral
inflation tube. Inflate the
bladder using the oral tube
and leave overnight in a room
with a constant temperature.
If the bladder loses pressure,
immediately take the
lifejacket to an accredited
service agent for further
tests. Do not attempt to
repair your lifejacket yourself.
STEP 3
Use the cap attached to the
oral inflation tube to deflate
the bladder. Invert cap and
press down on the valve at the
top of the oral tube. Do not
insert other objects into the
top of the tube as they may
damage the valve. Roll or press
the lifejacket to deflate fully.
STEP 4
Remove the CO
cylinder and
2
inspect. The cylinder should
be intact with no rust or
corrosion. Weigh the cylinder
on kitchen or letter scales,
ensure weight corresponds
to the minimum gross weight
engraved on cylinder +/- 2g.
STEP 4 CONT.
If the cylinder is rusted,
corroded, has been pierced
or is not the correct weight
it should be replaced
immediately. On auto-inflating
lifejackets, ensure all auto
components are armed and
in date. Refit cylinder to the
inflation system, tightening
it by hand until firm. Do not
over-tighten.
STEP 5
Repack the lifejacket as per
manufacturer's instructions.
Ensure the manual inflation
toggle is accessible and
unlikely to be caught when
being worn.
