2.9 Insert two protection pads onto operating head. Ensure the inf
l
ation hoses
bypass each other as shown (FIGURE A1-07). Tape both pads together at
either side of the upper buoyancy hose. Use 100 mm (4“) adhesive tape. Lay
the liferaft f
l
at on the table again.
2.10 Place the correct size of Hermetic bag (H-Pack), into the bottom half of the
jig.
2.11 Remove the 36 mm nut and washer from the vacuum valve. Carefully place
both nut and washer on a clean surface.
2.12 Push the vacuum valve into the pre-cut location on the jig, (FIGURE A2-08).
Holding the back of the vacuum valve, attach the washer and nut on the
outside of the container. Hand tighten the nut.
2.13 Using a torque wrench tighten the vacuum valve nut to the correct torque.
Please refer to Chapter 1, TABLE 101 for torque values and Chapter 10 for
special tools.
2.14 Open the H-Pack and let it hang outside of the jig. Push the H-Pack down
into the jig. The inner painter line cordage will be visible, (FIGURE A2-09).
2.15 Tape the internal vacuum hose to the container rim, (FIGURE A2-09).
2.16 Grasp the liferaft and with the cylinder, drag the assembly over the jig. Place
the cylinder at the back of the jig. The cylinder operating head should be
close to the jig corner, (FIGURE A2-10).
Leave space to allow for straight pull of line to reduce pull force values.
2.17 Using a permanent marker, check and mark each desiccant sachet with
the current date and expiry date, (FIGURE A2-10). Initial expiry date is
determined as 12 months from the date of manufacture. Subsequent expiry
dates will be from date of each service.
CAUTION:
WHEN FOIL BAGS ARE OPENED, THE DESICCANT
SACHETS INSIDE, MUST BE SEALED INSIDE THE
H-PACK WITHIN 8 HOURS.
