Removing the Tether
In general, the tether should not be removed from the DTG2 ROV. The carrying case is designed to hold
the DTG2, tether, and controller entirely in the one case. In the unlikely event that you do need to
remove the tether from the DTG2, follow the following steps to ensure no damage is caused to the
tether or DTG2:
1.
Turn off ROV for service in a dry area.
2.
Using a Phillips screw driver, remove the 4
screws holding the black bracket to the
rear of the ROV.
3.
Using a 17mm wrench, unthread the nut
holding the tether on black bracket. Once
the nut is completely unthreaded, the
tether can be removed from the bracket.
4.
Using a wrench, disengage the tether from
the ROV body. Place the wrench on the
steel hex next to the ROV body. Unthread
the nut, while supporting the tether
housing by hand ensuring that it does not
rotate with the nut. Continue to turn until
the tether is fully disengaged. It is
important to fix the rotation of the tether
using your hand or another tool. If the
tether is allowed to rotate while the
stainless steel nut is rotating, the pins will
be damaged and the ROV will need
extensive repair.
