3.4.2 Connecting the Tow Cable to the Towfish
When connecting the tow cable to the towfish, refer to APPENDIX D: “Rigging
Guide” for instructions. Instructions are provided for a towfish without an optional
K-wing depressor and for a towfish with a K-wing I or K-wing II depressor.
3.4.3 Disconnecting the Tow Cable from the Towfish
If possible, it is best to keep the tow cable connected to the towfish while on deck.
If the tow cable is disconnected, however, it is very important that the connectors
be properly maintained. Connectors must be kept clean and must remain out of the
way of traffic while on deck. After disconnecting the tow cable from the towfish,
install a dummy plug into each of the exposed connectors.
To disconnect the tow cable:
1.
Verify that the SP-III TPU or Rack Mount TPU is switched off and that its
power cord is disconnected.
WARNING
Before connecting the tow cable, verify that the SP-III TPU or
Rack Mount TPU is turned off and that its power cord is disconnected.
Failure to follow this practice may result in personal injury or damage to
the towfish or to the SP-III TPU/Rack Mount TPU electronics, or to both. For the
location of the power switches, refer to “Topside System Controls and Indicators” on
page 3-15.
CAUTION
When connecting or disconnecting the connectors, do not bend
them back and forth, as doing so may damage them. Use a straight down or
up movement and push or pull on the connectors, not the cables.
NOTE
Use of a lightweight cable with a K-Wing II depressor is not
recommended. Only a K-Wing I depressor can be used with this cable.
WARNING
Before disconnecting the tow cable, verify that the SP-III TPU
or Rack Mount TPU is turned off and that its power cord is disconnected.
Failure to follow this practice may result in personal injury or damage to
the towfish or to the SP-III TPU/Rack Mount TPU electronics, or to both. For the
location of the power switches, refer to “Topside System Controls and Indicators” on
page 3-15.
