Before use, practice donning and using this lifejacket in water to ascertain performance refer to ‘How to test your lifejacket’ section. This is not a lifejacket until fully inflated. Full performance may not be achieved using certain types of clothing or in other circumstances. Your lifejacket is fitted with a ‘cylinder safe’ to prevent the cylinder coming loose, however, you should check before every use that the cylinder is tightly screwed into the inflator system (if you have a Pro sensor model you will be able to check this through the viewing window).

Check before every use that the cylinder is tightly screwed in. A loose cylinder will not inflate your lifejacket. This lifejacket has CO2 gas inflation, it does not have any inherent buoyancy unless inflated by the CO2 gas cylinder or orally inflated by the users. This lifejacket offers a minimum of 150 newtons buoyancy when fully inflated. Suitable for user of 40kg upwards. The recommended temperature range on use is 5° C to 40° C. Do not apply nappies which provide buoyancy when using the lifejacket.

Cleaning & storage

Lifejackets should always be stored in a dry ventilated environment. When storing automatic lifejackets, the activator capsule should be removed whilst the lifejacket is
wet or damp to avoid accidental inflation. When drying the lifejacket, we recommend it be hung up until completely dry before storage.

To clean your lifejacket only use fresh water, if you have an automatic model remove the activator capsule first.

Do not put the lifejacket in the washing machine and do not tumble dry or spin dry.

Allow your lifejacket to naturally air dry, ensure the lifejacket is dried thoroughly before rearming or storing.
