Plastimo INFLATABLE DAN BUOY, Manual

INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLATION AND USE.

* NOTE:  For optimum installation, we recommend that you purchase an attachment kit.

1 - INSTALLATION

 (the help of a second person is recommended, when mounting the bracket holder )

1.1 – Position the hook of the bracket holder over the top rail of the push pit (diagram 1-A)
1.2. - Remove canister from holder by pulling the blue elastic strap over the top of the canister.  Make 

sure the canister does not fall from the holder, as this will cause deployment. Also ensure the 
lanyard between the holder and the canister is not pulled, as this will also cause deployment.  A 
second person may hold the canister whilst the bottom of the bracket holder is secured by means 
of the two rail clamps in the fitting kit (diagram 1-B), Finally drill and fit the top rail security bolt 
(diagram 1-C), Do not over tighten this bolt as this will distort and damage the holder, only tighten 
to apply slight tension to the hook.

1.3 – Coil the 2m lanyard at the bottom of the holder and reinstall the canister on the holder (diagram 

2)

1.4 – Replace the securing strap on the canister (diagram 3). Ensure that the firing lanyard is not 

visible.
