Anchor Buoy – Repair Instructions

20: Carefully place the upper housing onto the lower  

 

housing.  

Caution: make sure that the D-ring bolts line up 

 

properly with the holes in the top of the guide arm.

21a: Push the upper housing firmly down onto the 

 

lower housing.

21b: Use a mallet to install a crimp clip (Art. 1024) to 

 

secure the upper and lower 

 

housing together.  Install the 

 

next crimp clip diagonally 

 

across from the previous 

 location.

note: upper housing will seat 

 

inside the lip of the lower 

 housing.

22: Use a mallet to install the remaining crimp clips as in step 23b 

 

evenly spaced 60o apart from each other.

note: the even spacing provides proper seating of the two housings 

 

and ensures an air-tight seal. 

23a: Suspend the Anchor Buoy and pull out the entire length of 

 

the belt. Slowly allow the spring coil to wind up the belt.

Caution: do not pull with excessive force once you reach the end 

 

of the belt.

Caution: Keep some tension on the belt to prevent the belt from 

 

jumping off the reel. 

24: Place the U-channel edge protection over the joint of the two 

 housings. 

25: test the fully assembled Anchor Buoy by pushing it completely under water for sever  

 

al minutes.  there should not be any air bubbles escaping from the joint between the   

 

upper and lower housing or from the D-ring at the top.  If air bubbles are observed then  

 

the Anchor Buoy must be disassembled and the affected area must be resealed.
