and it is not possible to use the main sling set arrangement (e.g. when a shorter sling is required due
to height restriction). In this case a shorter sling may be connected to the handling eyebolt for
handling or transportation of the FROG-9 unit and the main sling set arrangement may remain
connected.
IMPORTANT
i.
The handling eyebolt must never be used as a lift point when transporting passengers.
ii.
If the main sling set is to remain connected it must be coiled down inside the FROG-9 unit
and secured.
iii.
The sling and attachments used for moving the FROG-9 must always be commensurate
with the load. Note: The Tare Weight of the FROG-9 is 1100 kg (2425 lb).

Use of Tag Lines
Tag lines (Hand Lines) are not supplied with the FROG. However if users wish to use tag lines for
handling the FROG the following should be considered:
Tag lines should be attached to the floor grating and 30 x 30 brace at the edge of the doorway (see
below). Reflex Marine Ltd suggest one or two 3 m lines are practicable for handling the FROG,
however length of line used is at the discretion of the deck crew.
Be aware of specific risks arising from use of tag lines:
i.
Deck Crew using tag lines will be standing closer to frog during landing, which increases the
risk of impact or being caught in between.
ii.
Ensure tag lines are not tied or caught on any adjacent equipment of structures.
iii.
Ensure tag lines are clear of knotting and deck crew have suitable hand and eye protection.

Seating and Load Distribution
In order to perform loading efficiently and safely, the following procedures are recommended:
i.
Organise passengers into groups of 9 (see note*).
ii.
Confirm that passenger and luggage weight does not exceed the
SWL of the FROG-9 unit: 900 kg (or 9 x 100 kg).
iii.
Split into three groups of three
Group 1: 1, 2, 3 / yellow
Group 2: 4, 5, 6 / orange
Group 3: 7, 8, 9 / red
iv.
Firstly load Group 1 (1, 2 and 3) into the centre seats as
shown.
v.
Next load Group 2 (4, 5 and 6) into the seats on the
right hand side of the first three.
vi.
Lastly load Group 3 (7, 8 and 9) into the left hand
remaining seats.

*Note - When the FROG-9 is used for less than 9 passengers, continue to follow the loading procedure above for as
many passengers as possible. In this way the unit will always be balanced as far as possible.
