HOW THEY OPERATE
Inflatable lifejackets have an inflation valve either automatic or manual connected to an airtight bladder. To operate the manual valve
you simply pull the toggle located at the bottom of the jacket downwards with a jerk and the bladder will start to inflate immediately. The
automatic lifejacket will operate and inflate once it has been immersed in the water for three seconds. An automatic lifejacket can also be
operated manually and both types can be inflated orally by the tube. The oral tube can also be used to deflate the lifejacket. N.B! After gas
inflation the lifejacket must be rearmed. Inside the lifejacket you will find instructions as to which rearming kit to use (see also page 53).
Instructions to complete the rearming procedure are included with our rearming kits.
All Besto lifejackets are fitted with a cylinder safe retainer which will prevent the cylinder from unscrewing itself. See also page 52 for
retrofit/aftermarket cylinder retainers.
