Then install a new water-activated device in the inflator body (B) and screw the inflator cap (F) in a clockwise direction until no thread is visible, see photos below. Then
check that the green “ready for action” indicator (C) is visible in the base.
Attention:
In automatic inflators, the firing pin returns inside the inflator body (B) when the water activated device(D) is removed. If not, then:
1.
Remove the green tag (C), then remove the inflator cap (F), along with the water activated device (D). Check the manual operation, by pulling the manual lever (Ea or
Eb) and observe if the pin moves inside the cylinder aperture of inflator body and by leaving the lever the pin resets to its original position.
Check the condition of the gas Cylinder (A). Replace with a new green tag (C) and gas Cylinder (A) if necessary.
2.
If any defects are found, they should be recorded and a new inflator should be fitted if it is needed. If the pin doesn’t reset inside the inflator core body should be
lubricated with silicone spray. Then repeat 3.10 to check its function.
Note: LALIZAS recommends that in every annual inspection of the lifejacket, the water-activated device (code 00340) should be checked for its good condition
and if necessary you replace it.
At last, check the manual system “green tag C” is in place and refit the CO
2
cylinder (A).
If the firing pin does not reset inside the automatic inflator’s core body, then immediately declare the lifejacket as ‘’needs to be serviced’’,
discontinue use of this
lifejacket and take it to a LALIZAS authorized Service Station.
Attention, the inflator inspection should be done to both inflation mechanisms that LALIZAS lifejackets SOLAS have.
In short, user may also follow the steps as it is shown in the below diagram:
