Once hit, you have to replace the cartridge of your vest. In the case of a Hammar hydrostatic percussion system, and unlike cellulose pellet percussion, the cartridge is placed inside the lung.
The intervention is quite simple, but requires rigour and calm. It will be more complicated in the heart of the storm in a damp cabin, tossed by the waves... If possible, sit quietly in a dry place on a table.
The cartridge can be removed using the small key supplied with any new cartridge. This changes the entire firing pin and the cartridge that is preloaded on it.
When reassembling, it is necessary to ensure that the joint is clean. He is the one who ensures the final sealing of the bladder, and therefore the lifejacket!
We strongly recommend that you always carry a refill kit for your lifejacket with you at all times. Be careful, these kits are not universal and depend on the firing pin model you have and the volume of the vest!
Go ahead, the operation is not too complicated.
