150N INFLATABLE LIFEJACKET
This level is intended for general application or for use with foul weather clothing. It will turn an
unconscious person into a safe position and requires no further subsequent by the user to
maintain this position.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION!
Lifejackets only reduce the risk of drowning. They are not guaranteed to save lives. When wear-
ing waterproof clothing (sailing clothing, flotation suit etc.), the lifejacket's functionality may be
impaired, e.g. the ability to turn over.
This is not a lifejacket until fully inflated. An uninflated lifejacket offers no safety to the wearer.
If the gas inflation fails, the wearer must be aware that the lifejacket can be inflated using the
mouth inflation tube. Train yourself in the use of the device. The lifejacket is put on like a jacket
and is worn outermost. Secure using the front buckle and crutch strap buckle. Adjust the waist-
band/crutch strap to be as tight as possible without being uncomfortable. The lifejacket must
be worn over any safety harness. There is a whistle inside the protective cover. The emergency
light (optional) is activated automatically upon immersion. The emergency light is located on the
left hand side of the lifejacket, inside the protective cover.
Please note that this lifejacket should be serviced annually by a Baltic approved agent, failure
to do so may affect your guarantee. Temperatures under +5°C, can slow the inflation time. Do
not use the lifejacket as a cushion. Store the jacket in a well-ventilated and dry area. Clean the
lifejacket regularly by rinsing it in fresh water; take care not to trigger the automatic valve. The
estimated life span for the lifejacket is 10 years.

grated inflatable lung, which provides 150N of buoyancy when fully inflated.
