This section describes the proper procedures for assembly and repacking of all Cruiser and Commander
life rafts.
Before beginning the assembly, the work area must be clean, dry, and free from sharp projections.
Work should be done on a smooth surface, preferably linoleum.
Throughout preparation and packing of the liferaft and its associated equipment, all ties are to be
bowlines unless stated otherwise, and are to be taped over with 1in. (25mm) white adhesive tape. The
ends of nylon cords are to be heat-sealed to prevent fraying and secured with white adhesive tape.
When gathering cordage it is important to fake fold (accordion style) the line instead of looping it.
(See Fig. 1) This will allow the line to unravel cleanly and prevent tangles in the line.
Warning: A fully charged cylinder can become a lethal projectile if discharged to
atmosphere when not fitted with a diffuser cap. Always fit the diffuser caps to
the cylinder valve outlets when handling a fully charged cylinder.
See Chapter 10 Tools, Fixtures, and Equipment for detailed descriptions of any tools used in the
assembly/packing procedure.
