Mounting the grabber for a dive 

To turn the grabber around so that it’s facing forward for a dive, you will need to 
access the underside of the ROV.  

1.

 

Turn the ROV upside down or onto its 
side so that you can access the 
grabber mount. Unscrew the fastener 
holding the top plate of the mounting 
bracket to the bottom plate. Note that 
mounting screw may differ from 
picture shown.  

 

2.

 

Take out the screw and remove the 
top of the mounting bracket by sliding 
it horizontally, towards the middle of 
the ROV. 

 

3.

 

Turn the grabber around so that it 
extends out beyond the front of the 
ROV. You can choose how far out you 
want the grabber to extend, and 
whether to orient it so the jaws are 
horizontal or vertical. 

 

4.

 

Slide the top bracket onto the bottom 
bracket, so that the top bracket is 
hooked onto the bottom on the side 
opposite the screw. Then replace the 
blue screw until it is firm.
