locked, it cannot be turned counter-
clockwise by hand. If your lifejacket
(PFD) has been used and/or the
Hammar Inflator replaced, always
inflate the jacket through the oral

inflated at least overnight. Empty the
lifejacket (PFD) again by pushing in the
non-return valve in the top of the oral
tube and press out ALL RESIDUAL

jacket may be folded properly. Let the
lifejacket dry before packing.
