I'm not sure it's a good idea to test-inflate the LJs orally because of the moisture content in your breath (possible bacterial attack on the lining). A slim chance of any adverse reaction but you'll only get one shot at inflation when you need it for real!
Normal servicing practice to use an electrically-operated air pump for the annual inspection.
