Tether:
It is advised to have an assistant managing the tether as the ROV demands more let into the water, or
pulled back out of the water. Leaving too much tether in the water will cause excess drag on the DTG2,
and not having enough will restrict the ROV manoeuvrability. The tether needs to be closely observed
while in use as it poses a threat to swimmers, divers, and boaters.
Do not bend the tether in a r
adius of 75mm (3”)
or less. Do not kink the tether. Never drag the tether
over a rough or sharp surface. This will quickly wear the outer protective jacket and eventually flood the
cable.
Do not step on or drive over the tether. Crushing the tether in any way may damage it in a fashion that
is non-repairable. If your tether does become damaged please contact Deep Trekker support or your
authorized Deep Trekker Dealer for assistance. Under no circumstances is a damaged tether from the
above listed scenarios warrantable.
Entanglement:
Take extreme care in conditions that increase the chance of the tether becoming tangled. If the DTG2
does get tangled, assess the situation with the camera and manoeuvre the ROV appropriately to
become free. Generally, you should be able to find your tether with the camera and follow it back out.
Failing that, the tether can be pulled on lightly with a maximum force of 90 kilograms (200 pounds) to
become free. If that fails it is advisable to find a certified diver who can manually untangle the system.
Never dive in the water yourself to perform this manoeuvre. Under no circumstances is a lost or
damaged system warrantable.
