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.

In order to don your lifejacket, follow the below steps:
1. Remove the lifejacket from the storage bag. Unfasten the stainless steel interlocking buckle/buckles.
2. Wear the lifejacket as you would wear a jacket.
3. Fasten the buckle/buckles.
4. Tighten the waist belt. Adjust the strap.
5. Fix and fasten the crotch strap for 330N model.
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.

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.
