Product Overview

The Leland 840AMU-Manual PFD Rearming Kit is engineered for rapid deployment in critical rescue and medical scenarios. It combines a 33 gram CO2 cartridge with a 1/2″ thread, a Halkey-Roberts V85006 green indicator pin, and comprehensive rearming instructions, delivering a complete solution for inflatable life vest maintenance. Constructed from high‑grade plastic components and finished in a durable brass exterior, the kit offers both resilience and a professional appearance.

Dimensions are compact, measuring 7.5 x 1.75 x 6 inches, and the total weight is only 7.2 ounces, making it easy to store in emergency kits, medical bags, or on‑board equipment. The package includes a single 33 gram CO2 cylinder, the green indicator pin, and a printed guide that walks users through the rearming process step by step, eliminating guesswork and reducing re‑inflation time.

Designed for unisex adult users, the kit meets the stringent standards of the industrial and scientific market, holding a Best Sellers Rank of #65 in Airway Management Equipment. Its brass color provides a clear visual cue for quick identification during high‑stress situations, while the plastic internals ensure reliable performance over repeated use.

Usage

In emergency medical services, rapid re‑inflation of a life vest can be the difference between life and death. This kit is ideal for paramedics, rescue swimmers, and aviation safety crews who require a dependable, easy‑to‑use solution. The CO2 cartridge delivers a swift, controlled burst of gas to fully inflate the vest, while the green indicator pin provides a visual confirmation that the cartridge is correctly seated and ready for activation.

The kit is also suitable for training environments, allowing instructors to demonstrate proper rearming techniques without the need for multiple spare parts. Because the components are lightweight and compact, they can be carried in standard first‑aid kits, aircraft survival packs, or marine safety boxes, ensuring readiness wherever the need arises.

Users should note that the kit is classified as hazardous material for shipping purposes and therefore cannot be shipped to Alaska or Hawaii. This restriction underscores the importance of handling the CO2 cylinder with care and following all safety guidelines during transport and storage.
