Spinlock Deckvest
This Deckvest is an integrated lifejacket and harness approved to ISO 12402-3
(150N) and ISO 142402-2 (275N)
It is important to get into the habit of wearing Deckvest. It is comfortable, safe and
a pleasure to wear.
A lifejacket or harness only works if it is fitted and secured correctly.
Inflatable lifejackets only become buoyant when inflated: they contain no inherently
buoyant materials.
As user, it is your personal responsibility to understand the operation and
maintenance requirements of your inflatable lifejacket and be familiar with its
limitations.
Approval conditions:
This Deckvest is an integrated CE approved lifejacket according to ISO 12402-3
(150N) / ISO 12402-2 (275N) and a CE approved Deck harness according to ISO
12401.
Re-arming a Deckvest
Only approved Spinlock Deckware Hammar re-arming kits should be used. Follow
attached Hammar detailed instructions for re-arming.

Inflating your lifejacket
It is recommended that the following inflation procedures are followed:
1. MANUAL INFLATION
To manually inflate the lifejacket, sharply pull the rubber handle downwards.
The CO2 gas cylinder should inflate the bladder within seconds.
2. ORAL INFLATION
To inflate the lifejacket by mouth, locate the oral inflation tube by opening the
zip from the yellow breakout point on the front panel of the lifejacket. Then after
removing the end cap, blow into the tube until the lifejacket is fully inflated.
3. AUTOMATIC INFLATION
Inflation should occur automatically within seconds of the inflator being
submerged 10 cm under water. The automatic capsule is designed to activate the
sprung pin to puncture the CO2 cylinder and inflate the bladder.
CO2 Cylinder size
Model 150N: use 33g
Model 275N: use 60g
INFORMATION: PRESSURE VARIANCE
With variations in air or water temperatures, topping up by oral inflation
may be required to maintain full buoyancy-especially after prolonged
immersion.
Deflating the lifejacket
To deflate the lifejacket, invert the oral-inflation tube end cap and insert it into the
valve. Holding the cap firmly in this position, gently squeeze the lifejacket until all
air or gas has been expelled. Return the cap to its normal position.
Usage below freezing
When the temperature is below freezing, even a fully charged cylinder may not
adequately inflate your lifejacket. Do not use your lifejacket under these conditions
unless it has been partially inflated by mouth.
WARNING: Using the CO2 inflation when your jacket is already fully
inflated can over-pressurise and damage your lifejacket.
