Common Concerns Answered
How do I ensure this re-arm kit is compatible with my specific inflatable life jacket?
Verify your life jacket's owner's manual for the exact CO2 cylinder size (38g) and fitting type (bayonet) required. This kit is specifically designed for Auto/Manual Pull PFD devices.
What is the significance of the bobbin color, and is it important?
The yellow bobbin is the water-sensing element that dissolves upon immersion, triggering inflation in automatic mode. While this kit includes a yellow bobbin, always confirm your PFD manual for its specified requirements.
What is the typical shelf life and proper storage for these CO2 cylinders?
CO2 cylinders themselves do not expire, but the seals can degrade. Store the kit in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain optimal condition. Inspect annually or as per your PFD manufacturer's recommendations.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if this Leland re-arm kit is compatible with my inflatable life jacket?
Consult your inflatable life jacket's owner's manual to confirm it requires a 38-gram CO2 cylinder and utilizes an Auto/Manual Pull activation mechanism with a bayonet fitting. This kit is engineered for those specific requirements.
What is the difference between a bayonet and a threaded CO2 cylinder for life jackets?
A bayonet fitting utilizes a twist-and-lock mechanism for secure attachment, while a threaded cylinder screws into place. This Leland kit features a bayonet fitting, which is critical for proper engagement with compatible PFD inflation mechanisms.
How often should I inspect my inflatable life jacket's re-arm kit?
It is recommended to inspect your re-arm kit annually, or as specified by your life jacket manufacturer. Check for any signs of corrosion on the cylinder or damage to the bobbin and ensure the expiration date of the bobbin has not passed.
What is the shelf life of a Leland CO2 cylinder?
The CO2 cylinder itself has an indefinite shelf life as it contains compressed gas. However, the integrity of the seal and the re-arming mechanism, particularly the bobbin, are critical and may have recommended replacement intervals, typically 1-2 years, as per manufacturer guidelines.
Can I reuse a CO2 cylinder after it has been punctured?
No, a CO2 cylinder that has been punctured and deployed cannot be reused. It must be replaced with a new, fully charged cylinder and a new activation mechanism as part of a complete re-arm kit.
