AUTOMATIC (water) ACTIVATION:
The Stormy optional water activated system will inflate automatically
within 5 seconds on immersion in water.
MANUAL INFLATION:
Grasp the top or side of the velcro attached inflation pocket
and tear the pocket down and off. This action will trigger
the CO2 gas cylinder inflating your PFD instantly giving you
buoyancy to PFD Type 1 standard. Replace the used CO2 cylinder
at your earliest opportunity. If you need advice as to how to
do this or where to obtain a cylinder please contact Stormy Australia.
ORAL INFLATION:
Should you find yourself in a hazardous (but not an emergency)
situation, you can inflate your Stormy PFD orally. Pull down
the inflation pocket about halfway and take out the red oral inflation tube
located next to the gas cylinder and
inflate by mouth.
IMPORTANT:
Do not trigger the CO2 Cylinder if you have inflated your Stormy
orally. This may damage the inflation chamber.
TO DEFLATE:
Invert the black inflation cap and press the raised top of
the cap into the oral inflation tube. This will open the one-way valve.
AFTER ACTIVATION:
When the trigger mechanism has activated (Jacket inflated) it is necessary to
replace the CO2 cylinder and the Bobbin. Remove the old cylinder by unscrewing
anticlockwise. Unscrew the clear end cap and remove the old bobbin. Discard the old
bobbin. To install a new bobbin - ensure fittings are dry before placing bobbin in
trigger mechanism (fits only with white side down). Replace clear end cap by hand
screwing firmly home in a clockwise direction.
NOTE:
When an unused bobbin is in place a green indicator
will show in bottom of clear end cap. A red indicator
will show if a used bobbin is installed. Do not install end cap without bobbin in
place because the CO2 cylinder will be punctured as the cap is screwed home.
Install CO2 cylinder in top of mechanism and firmly hand tighten in a clockwise
direction. Fit green indicator tab through hole in
trigger mechanism and manual activation lever.
