After use in the sea ensure that the rope is washed through with fresh water and repacked.
NOTE: the rating of the rope is degraded by long-term exposure to UV light.
Two 4.2kg up-thrust buoys (total of 8.4kg), rated to 350m are provided as part of the
assembly. In high bio-foul areas and/or for long deployment it may be advisable to add
additional buoyancy to ensure that if the rope is fouled more force is applied to break the
rope out of the canister.
Due to wear on the release nut it is advisable that the nut is replaced at least every 5
th
deployment.
Refer to Section 6.2 for dimensions and load ratings of the rope canister options.
