Seago INFLATABLE DANBUOY User manual

SEAGO INFLATABLE DANBUOY
READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY PRIOR TO FITTING AND USE.
Instrucons for ng
When you purchase the Seago Danbuoy the ring lanyard has not yet been connected, this is to help with the ng of the
container as this can only be done with the Danbuoy removed. THE FIRING LANYARD MUST BE RE-TIED TO THE CORRECT POINT
AFTER THE CONTAINER IS FITTED.
Carefully open the Danbuoy container and remove the 2 ng clamps resng in the top, then li the Danbuoy in its pouch by
pulling the red liing webbing in an upwards direcon, once you can grip the Danbuoy you can fully remove it from the con-
tainer.
With the Danbuoy removed from the storage container you are now free to bolt the mounng brackets to your chosen point
on the push pit rail. Make sure the xing is secure and the bolts are ght.
Once you have completed the mounng of the storage container you should ret the Danbuoy in its pouch, make sure the red
liing webbing is in posion to help the Danbuoy to be lied out in an emergency. At this point you now need to secure the
ring cord to the container (see picture) FAILURE TO DO THIS WILL RESULT IN FAILURE OF THE DANBUOY TO INFLATE AND IT
WILL SINK TO THE BOTTOM.
MAKE SURE YOU SECURE WITH AT LEAST A DOUBLE KNOT SO THERE IS NO CHANCE THE KNOT CAN SLIP OR BECOME UN-
TIED.
Instrucons for use
REMEMBER THE DANBUOY FIRING LANYARD MUST BE TIED CORRECTLY PRIOR TO USE
To deploy the Danbuoy simply open the container top and li the red webbing in an upwards direcon, once you have a grip of
the pouch you can fully remove it and drop it overboard, YOU DO NOT NEED TO REMOVE THE DANBUOY FROM THE POUCH, IT
WILL OPEN UPON INFLATION. The weight of the Danbuoy will allow it to sink and when it reaches the end of the length of ring
lanyard it will acvate and inate fully. The ring pin and lanyard will remain aached to the storage box but the Danbuoy will
oat free. The light will automacally operate upon inaon and the drogue will help reduce the Danbuoy driing.
Repacking
Aer use the Danbuoy can be re-armed and repacked into the storage container YOU WILL NEED TO PURCHASE A SEAGO 33g
DANBUOY RE-ARMING KIT.
Before re-arming and repacking you should rst wash the Danbuoy with clean fresh water and allow to fully air dry.
To begin the re-arming and packing process deate the Danbuoy using the oral tube located on the mast of the Danbuoy. De-
press the inner valve with your nger while you coil the Danbuoy up to expel all the air. FAILURE TO FULLY EXPEL ALL THE AIR
WILL RESULT IN FAILURE AND IRREPARABLE DAMAGE WHEN THE DANBUOY INFLATES. If necessary replace the light (available
separately, not sold as part of the re-arming kit) Unscrew the empty gas cylinder and replace the ring pin that is aached to
the lanyard, then screw in a new gas cylinder from the re-arming kit into the ring head (hand ght). It may be easier to une
the knot aaching the ring lanyard to the box and re-e once the re-arming and folding process is complete.
Once the Danbuoy is re-armed you can begin the folding schedule in order for it to t back in the storage container, make sure
the weight is at the boom of the container and the ring lanyard is neatly coiled and placed within the pouch and is re-ed
aer the pouch is replaced. Follow the pictorial sequence as set out.

Fold the Danbuoy as above making sure the
overall length does not exceed the height of
the container.
