How to use the ROV without a grabber 

You can dive with the grabber mounted backwards if it is not needed for a dive. 

If you wish to dive without the grabber, you must remove the whole device 
including its cable into the ROV.

How to remove grabber cable 

This procedure involves releasing the vacuum from the ROV so that you can 
remove the grabber port plug from the pressure vessel. You will also need to 
locate a port plug from your accessories box to replace the grabber cable plug. 

1.

 

Ensure the ROV is powered off

. Then, 

unscrew the black knurled collar from 
the vacuum port at the rear of the ROV.  

 

2.

 

Pull out the valve to release the vacuum. 
As soon as the vacuum is released, 
replace the cap onto vacuum port. 

 

3.

 

After the vacuum is released, locate the 
port for the grabber cable (it will be 
labelled ‘GRAB’).  

4.

 

Unscrew the black knurled collar with 
your fingers.
