4.2 GRP container: (FIGURE 818A)
The following preparation is used for all Throw Over liferafts.
4.2.1 Fix protection foam to the inside of the container. This foam block
prevents the cylinder operating head from impacting the container
side during handling and deployment.
4.2.2 Retrieve the upper half of the container, (FIGURE 819). It is supplied
with four small holes along both shorter sides. These holes are used
to allow handles to be attached to each end.
(a) Retrieve the handles. Insert a strip of white 525 Kgf cord,
(200 mm), into each loop at the end of the handles. From
outside the container, insert the ends of the white cord through
the holes.
(b) Inside the container, take both cords and pull them fully into the
container. Make an overhand knot as close as possible to the
inside of the container. Tape the flying ends.
(c) Repeat step 4.1.2 for the opposite handle.
4.2.3 Line the bottom half of the container with a polythene sheet. Ensure
the sheet overlaps the front edge of the container by 200 mm.
4.2.4 Place the foil bag into the lower half of the container.
