VANGUARD LIFEJACKET (PV9380)
REARMING
Note: Rearming must follow the sequence
below.
Step 5:
A new bobbin must be used. New bobbin must
have been purchased within four (4) years. If the
bobbin purchase date is unknown, check the
date on the bobbin and replace it if it is more
than four (4) years.
Step 6:
IMPORTANT!
Bobbin (yellow) must be installed into the
housing (see figure 1), white side up, aligning
the slots on the bobbin with the ridges inside
the threaded housing. The bobbin will slide in
easily if installed correctly.
Step 7:
Install cap by screwing clockwise until it meets
the housing shoulder. Note: There should be no
gap between the cap and the housing shoulder.
Step 8:
Check the new cylinder to be sure it has not
been punctured.
Step 9:
Install a new cylinder by engaging the cylinder
threads with the inflator threads. Turn the
cylinder clockwise till a firm seal is achieved.
WARNING: Lifejacket will only inflate if the
cylinder is turned to a full stop.
Slide the O-ring and the cylinder holder onto the
holder and into the groove. Slide the cylinder
holder and O-ring over the cylinder. The cylinder
holder and O-ring assembly should be holding
the manifold nut. Close the protective neoprene
cover.
Step 10:
Make sure the service indicator is green.

5. SPARE PARTS
Please contact a certified VIKING servicing
station. Find your nearest servicing station on
www.VIKING-life.com.
6. STORAGE
We recommend that the lifejacket is stored in a
dry place, possibly suspended on a hanger in a
wardrobe. Unintended inflation may occur. This
may be due to a combination of moisture and
vibration. If the annual service is observed, the
risk of this will be reduced.
7. APPLICATIONS AND LIMITATIONS
The VIKING YouSafe
TM
Vanguard (PV9380) is
designed for yachting and working purposes
within the shipping and offshore industry.
WARNING: In cold environments inflation may
be slower and lower performance may result.
The lifejacket has been tested in water
temperatures ranging from -1°C to 30°C. At
water temperatures below zero, automatic
inflation may be delayed. If so, release it
manually.
Full performance may not be achieved using
waterproof clothing or in other circumstances,
for instance special clothing such as sailor’s
wear with buoyancy as it may reduce lifejacket’s
ability to turn an unconscious person in the
water. The lifejacket must be fully inflated for
it to function as a lifejacket. Do not use as a
cushion. Never wear other clothing or harness
over the lifejacket.
Please note that a lifejacket fitted with
Hammar
®
inflators only inflates automatically
when submerged in water deeper than 10 cm.
