Inflation of VIKING SOLAS 275N may be effected in three ways:

a: Automatic inflation:

The buoyancy chamber inflates within approx. 5 seconds after immersion into the water.

b: Manual inflation:

The lifejacket inflates on a strong pull of the release line protruding from the right side of the lifejacket. In case this chamber does not work, the second chamber may be activated by a strong pull of the release line protruding from the left side of the protective cover.

c: Oral inflation:

Open the protective cover and blow air into one of the oral inflation tubes.

WARNING: Although it has been tested to withstand excess pressure, do not ever inflate the lifejacket by mouth prior to automatic or manual inflation.

4. MAINTENANCE

Maintenance of your lifejacket is essential to your safety in case if an emergency situation should occur. The life-jacket must be serviced annually by a VIKING certified servicing station (please contact VIKING LIFE-SAVING EQUIPMENT A/S for addresses).

Note: If the lifejacket is equipped with a Halkey Roberts inflator, the bobbin must be replaced annually from first use. Do not use bobbins more than four years old. The production date is printed on the bobbin itself.

6. STORAGE

The lifejacket should be stored in a dry place, possibly suspended on a hanger in a closet. Unintended inflation may occur due to a combination of moisture and vibra-tion. Annual service can reduce the risk of unintended inflation.

7. APPLICATIONS AND LIMITATIONS

The lifejacket has been tested in water temperatures ranging from 0°C to -30°C. At water temperatures below zero, automatic inflation may be delayed. If so, release it manually. Do not ever wear any clothing over VIKING SOLAS 275N. If worn together with an immersion suit or any special clothing such as sailors’ wear with buoyancy, the functio-ning of the lifejacket may be affected. Please note that a lifejacket fitted with Hammar inflators only inflates auto-matically when submerged into water deeper than 10 cm.
