After use the firing head will indicate a red spot. Alternatively, if the Lifejacket has been fired manually the lanyard will be missing.

The pack contains a key to undo the head, a firing head showing the green spot, a new gas cylinder which is glued onto the new inner body and re-arming instructions|. For 150N Lifejackets use a 33g cylinder and for 275N Lifejacket use a 60g cylinder.

2. Insert and turn the key anti-clockwise between black locking ring and labelled yellow cap.
