IMPORTANT MESSAGE
When used and serviced according to this Owner’s Manual, this device can greatly increase your chances of survival in the water. The lifejacket has integrated polyvinyl
chloride material cover which is easy to clean.
The lifejacket cover closure system is a simple hook and loop fastener or zipper (depending on product code). The cover will pop open quickly upon discharge of 1 or 2
cylinders of 33gr or 60 gr CO2 automatically upon water entry, or manually by pulling the manual lever. When lled, its chamber capacity is capable of providing buoyancy
to keep the wearer’s head above water. Actual buoyancy will vary with ambient conditions and CO2 production tolerances.
A double oral & relief ination tube with automatic seal valve is provided for buoyancy adjustment and deating. Oral ination may only be used as a back- up if for any
reason the automatic and/or manual ination has not operated.
LALIZAS Lamda lifejackets can be easily adjusted to users with chest size up to 150cm.
When fully donned and inated, this device is designed to turn most wearers face up within 5 seconds.
Its inner high visibility yellow chamber, with double chamber interlocking system and SOLAS grade retro-reective material, its SOLAS lifejacket light and whistle, which is
rmly secured by lanyard, enhance the chances for rapid rescue. The lifejacket has also integrated a yellow lifeline, also known as buddy line, which is reusable and can
be secured to a lifejacket worn by another person in the water.
It is also provided with lifting loop so as to lift the wearer from the water into the rescue boat or survival craft.
The LALIZAS JSI inator mechanism was selected for its low prole, simplicity, and eld proven technology. Its water-soluble water activation device technology meets
the highest ination mechanism requirements for resistance to inadvertent ination from high temperature and high humidity. Caution: Since water soaking trips the ring
pin, premature ination is always a possibility with all inators. Rain, splash, and fog are very unlikely to cause ring. Full immersion as would be experienced with a large
wave or fall overboard will cause ination.
Attention: The inator mechanism does not have cylinder seal indication, so the cylinder must be removed to check and conrm that it has not been red. Once the
lifejacket is used, then it should be immediately serviced and immediately cylinder CO2 to be replaced with a brand new cylinder CO2.

How to wear your lifejacket (150Ν & 275Ν):
How to wear your lifejacket (330N):
To prevent the lifejacket from riding up on the wearer when in the water, it is vital that the straps are properly adjusted. This may prevent the wearer from being able to
maintain their nose or mouth face up above the water surface.
In an emergency situation, if needed, enter into the water with your feet rst while holding the lifejacket (see below).
After donning, locate the Manual lever for the mechanism; it should protrude from the lifejacket! Make sure that you are comfortable locating it with either hand.
Be prepared to use it in case of emergency! Always wear your lifejacket over clothing, not under clothing.
Caution: Clothing and equipment may affect the ability of this lifejacket to turn the wearer to a face-up position in the water. Due to mission specic congurations, we
recommend self-testing under controlled conditions to conrm adequate performance. Make sure you practice on closing the hardware and on adjusting the straps before
use or prior to in-water testing.

INFLATED DONNING INSTRUCTIONS
Inatable lifejackets can be very difcult to don when fully inated. Deate through the Oral Tube until enough gas has escaped to don. See DEFLATION
INSTRUCTIONS. Don as described above and re-inate orally as described below.
INFLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Manual Ination - To inate, grasp the 2Manuallevers and pull sharply downwards. This will open the mechanism cover ap and activate the manual ination lever.
2. Automatic Ination - When armed, the 2 automatic Ination Mechanisms will be activated when the device is totally immersed in the water. Depending upon
temperature, the device will obtain full buoyancy within 5 to 10 seconds. It is recommended that the user regard the automatic system as a backup and always be
prepared to pull the Manual levers upon immersion.
3. Oral Ination - The Oral & Relief Tube (Double) is located on both ination chambers. Each tube has one ination valve and one relief valve preinstalled. Before
inating, without CO2, you MUST rst open the oral ination cap. Grasp the Oral Tube and bring to mouth. Blow air through the Oral Tube until the Inatable Chamber
is rm. The oral tube valve will automatically re-seal. The relief valve will automatically remove the excess air so as to maintain the chamber with the needed buoyancy.
4. Cold Ination - Oral Ination may be required in addition to manual or automatic ination if chamber/s is not rm due to cold temperatures at or below 4 oC. Ination
time using CO2 gas will be longer at these temperatures. Activation of automatic system may also be slower. Always be prepared to use the manual ination system!
See FREEZING TEMPERATURES on page 9.
3. Other Ination Precautions
Caution: Never inate this lifejacket with a pump or air-compressor.
If the chamber/s becomes soft due to CO2 permeance, Oral Ination will be necessary to maintain full buoyancy. Permeation loss is greater when the device is inated with
CO2 than with air, and earlier replenishment by means of the oral ination system will therefore be necessary.
INSPECTING YOUR LIFEJACKET FOR DAMAGE
Make sure that the lifejacket is free from rips, tears or punctures. This type of damage on the outside covering indicates that the Inatable Chamber/s may have been
exposed to potentially damaging elements. If these defects expose the yellow inatable chamber/s material, discontinue use of the lifejacket until you have the lifejacket
inspected by an authorized repair facility. If these defects are noticed but the yellow inatable chamber/s material is not exposed, the Inatable Chamber/s should be
checked for leaks.
IMPORTANT NOTICE - WARNINGS
Caution - Do not use as a cushion. This is not a lifejacket until it is fully inated. Train yourself in the use of this lifejacket. Full performance may not been achieved using
waterproof clothing or in other circumstances.
Trapped air and carried load impair the performance of the 33gr or 60gr CO2 gas cylinder.
Once lifejacket is used, then it should be immediately serviced and immediately the 2 cylinder CO2 to be replaced with a brand new cylinder CO2.
Gas Cylinders are dangerous goods and they shall be kept away from children and not misused.
Regarding the cylinders attached to the inator mechanism, please perform visual periodic inspection. In case there is any of the below:
• dent
• scratches
• corrosion on the cylinder
• or even used and not replaced,
then contact a LALIZAS authorized Service Station, in order to perform service of the lifejacket.
For the LALIZAS SOLAS models with zipper closure, please perform visual periodic inspection:
Preparing zip for repacking:
- Ensure that the zip teeth are separated all around the lifejacket.
- Slide the zip around to the right end as worn.
- Zip carefully, helping with your other hand, till the left edge.
The zipper has precut teeth to different determined location by manufacturer and these areas are protected /hidden by a black hook and loop patch. It is forbidden to cut
or damage additional zipper teeth.If that happens then the lifejacket should be discarded.
In case the zipper has dents, cracks, missed teeth, damaged zipper slider or the zipper slider is stuck then contact a LALIZAS authorized Service Station, in order to
perform service of the lifejacket
Make sure that LALIZAS lifejacket light SOLAS and LALIZAS whistle are attached and that retroreective tapes SOLAS have no signs of deterioration.
All damage to the materials, such as tears, abrasion, cuts on the cloth or webbing, color change or damage to the buckles, that would affect the buoyancy by overheating,
UV sun damage, incorrect storage or use,etc can lead to a life threatening reduction in safety offered by the product. All such products should be removed from use. If in
doubt, contact a LALIZAS certied Service Station.

STORAGE
The lifejackets must be stored in a dark, clean, and dry area, which can be accessed immediately in case of emergency. Do not compress the lifejackets in storage. Avoid
any contact with sharp objects that can damage the lifejacket. Avoid storage in extreme temperature conditions.
Avoid contact with high corrosive oil / petrol or other liquid.
CLEANING
Rinse the lifejacket with fresh water after use in salty water. Always remove the auto-ring head before washing automatic inated lifejackets. Use only warm water and mild
detergents and a gentle hand wash. Use of stain removers is not recommended. Let it dry naturally before storing. Check that the lifejacket is completely dry and repack it.
Never use a washing machine or any other drying method to clean your lifejacket.
SERVICE INTERVALS
As per SOLAS/MED requirements the SOLAS/MED inatable lifejackets should be serviced annually, by a LALIZAS authorized Service Station, or less than an annually
basis, in case of use.
A list worldwide with LALIZAS Authorizes Service Station is available in LALIZAS Ofcial Website.
INSPECT THE INFLATOR MECHANISM & RE-ARMING INSTRUCTIONS
Examine the ination mechanism status indicators. The Ination Mechanism Status Indicators will tell you if the ination mechanism is properly ARMED/REARMED and
ready for activation.
See below for a description of the inator status indicators: includes the indications to when a LALIZAS automatic inator is ready for use (OK) and to when it should be
serviced (STOP).
INFLATOR’S PARTS
INFLATOR’S INSPECTION
Automatic JS1 inators can also operate manually, by using their lever.
Attention: Once lifejacket is used then it should be immediately serviced and immediately the 2 cylinders CO2 to be replaced with 2 brand new cylinders CO2.
To check the automatic inator, rst inspect the inator cap(F) making sure the green “ready for action” indicator is visible in the base of the unit.
Next step is to remove and inspect the seal of the CO2 cylinder. If the cylinder seal has been pierced or the “red red” indicator is visible in the inator cap (F) , the water
activated device (D) and the gas Cylinder (A) will need to be replaced.
To replace the water activated device (D), unscrew the inator cap (F) in a counter-clockwise direction and discard the used water activated device.
Clean the inator cap (F) if any presence of water is found.

Then install a new water-activated device in the inator body (B) and screw the inator cap (F) in a clockwise direction until no thread is visible, see photos below. Then
check that the green “ready for action” indicator (C) is visible in the base.
Attention: In automatic inators, the ring pin returns inside the inator body (B) when the water activated device(D) is removed. If not, then:
1.Remove the green tag (C), then remove the inator cap (F), along with the water activated device (D). Check the manual operation, by pulling the manual lever (Ea or
Eb) and observe if the pin moves inside the cylinder aperture of inator body and by leaving the lever the pin resets to its original position.
Check the condition of the gas Cylinder (A). Replace with a new green tag (C) and gas Cylinder (A) if necessary.
2. If any defects are found, they should be recorded and a new inator should be tted if it is needed. If the pin doesn’t reset inside the inator core body should be
lubricated with silicone spray. Then repeat 3.10 to check its function.
Note: LALIZAS recommends that in every annual inspection of the lifejacket, the water-activated device (code 00340) should be checked for its good condition
and if necessary you replace it.
At last, check the manual system “green tag C” is in place and ret the CO2 cylinder (A).
If the ring pin does not reset inside the automatic inator’s core body, then immediately declare the lifejacket as ‘’needs to be serviced’’, discontinue use of this
lifejacket and take it to a LALIZAS authorized Service Station.
Attention, the inator inspection should be done to both ination mechanisms that LALIZAS lifejackets SOLAS have.
In short, user may also follow the steps as it is shown in the below diagram:

EXAMINE YOUR CO2CYLINDER
The CO2 cylinder contains the gas charge that will inate your lifejacket when the ination mechanism is red either automatically or manually.
You must verify that the 2 CO2 cylinders installed are of the correct size and have not been previously red. To examine the cylinder, you must unscrew it and visually
examine the cap (the at surface on the threaded end).
There are no indicators to show that the CO2 cylinder is full. The cylinder needs to be replaced if there is any visible damage on the at surface. See the product
specications section on page 1 of this manual to determine the proper size cylinder.
If the cylinder is OK, you must properly screw it back into the inator mechanism. If the cylinder is damaged, discard and install a new, undamaged cylinder into the
mechanism, as explained in detail in 2. Inspect the inator mechanism.
Additional Notes on CO2 Cylinders:
• FAILURE to properly rearm the ination mechanism prior to installing the CO2 Cylinders will result in premature activation of the cylinder.
• CO2 Cylinder is only good for one ination and cannot be recharged.
• CO2 Cylinders are made with a protective coating that may wear off after a period of use or exposure to the environment. When this coating is worn off, the CO2
Cylinders may start to show some signs of rusting. If this occurs, replace the CO2 Cylinder.
ORAL TUBE (Double) DEFLATION INSTRUCTIONS
To deate the lifejacket, remove the cap on the oral ination tube side and either insert the nipple from the cap or your hand into the valve head, as following sketch. Then,
apply gentle pressure to the lifejacket and deate it. Gently squeeze the lifejacket to expel the remaining air or CO2. When fully deated, place again the cap on the oral &
relief tube (double). Please apply this procedure to both oral & relief tube (double) which are located to the 2 chambers of the lifejacket.
DO NOT TWIST OR WRING INFLATABLE CHAMBER/s TO DEFLATE.
If for any reason the oral valve remains open, depress it several times. If it does not release, discontinue use of this lifejacket and take it to a LALIZAS authorised Service
Station.

FREEZING TEMPERATURES
Around 4°C automatic activation and ination time with CO2 gas will be longer. Wearing a partially inated lifejacket in these conditions will provide some initial buoyancy
while the lifejacket fully inates.
OTHER USE GUIDELINES
1. Always wear your lifejacket to avoid emergency donning.
2. If you need to jump from any height always fold arms over your chest to keep the lifejacket in place when entering the water.
3. Avoid all unnecessary activities that will be abrasive to the device.
4. Use extreme caution around sharp objects.
LALIZAS

5. Avoid unnecessary exposure to the sunlight. See GENERAL PRODUCT LIFE EXPECTANCY below.
6. CO2 gas from the cylinder will permeate through the chamber fabric over time. If you are in the water for a long time, it may be necessary to top off the inatable orally,
by blowing air in through the oral & relief tube (double).
7. Inatable lifejackets are not designed for activities in which the wearer expects to encounter impact with the water at a high speed such as water skiing, riding personal
water craft, etc.
8. Inatable lifejackets are not designed for white water activities.
9. For Inatable lifejackets that have a manual-auto inator, dropping the lifejacket into the water or exposing the ination system to unnecessary water spray, will result
in an inadvertent ination.
IS YOUR LIFEJACKET IN GOODAND SERVICEABLE CONDITION?
Check your lifejacket between outings to be sure that it is properly armed: that it is free of rips, tears or holes, that all seams are securely sewn, and that the fabric, straps
and hardware are still strong. Inspect the inatable portion of the lifejacket in accordance with Care and Maintenance Instructions.
GENERAL PRODUCT LIFE EXPECTANCY
The reliability and service life of this lifejacket depends greatly upon how it is used and cared for. Avoid storing lifejacket in direct sunlight. Sunlight contains ultraviolet
radiation that weakens synthetic materials. Prolonged exposures to high temperatures and high humidity may shorten service life of this lifejacket. While it is known that
these elements degrade the materials, every environment of use is unique so there is no sure way to estimate how long the lifejacket will last. It is for this reason that you
must follow the care and cleaning instructions and perform the maintenance and service checks. This will assure that the lifejacket remains functional and will maximize
the useful life of this lifejacket. Failure to follow these instructions rigorously could result in a non-functioning lifejacket causing injury or death.
Estimated lifetime of the lifejacket: 10 years from the date of manufacture.
INSPECTION & MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
User’s Inspection - The user should perform the following checks before each season, or before a long journey, or before each outing, as recommended below:
1. Physical Inspection of Cover, Straps and Chambers - Examine outer shell fabric, seams, webbing attachments, buckles, slides, etc. Fabric fading can indicate a loss
of strength. Check for strength by pulling seams and attachments snugly. If device shows any signs of damage, return to a LALIZAS authorised Service Station or replace
the entire lifejacket. This inspection should be performed each outing.
2. Repeat pre donning instructions
3. Function Test of Oral & Relief Tube (Double) - Remove the dust protection cap. With the lifejacket inated, test the valve as explained in this manual. The valve should
depress easily, and when released it should automatically return to the closed position and reseal.
