SEAGO INFLATABLE DANBUOY
READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY PRIOR TO FITTING AND USE.
Instructions for fitting
When you purchase the Seago Danbuoy the firing lanyard has not yet been connected, this is to help with the fitting of the
container as this can only be done with the Danbuoy removed. THE FIRING LANYARD MUST BE RE-TIED TO THE CORRECT POINT
AFTER THE CONTAINER IS FITTED.
Carefully open the Danbuoy container and remove the 2 fitting clamps resting in the top, then lift the Danbuoy in its pouch by
pulling the red lifting webbing in an upwards direction, once you can grip the Danbuoy you can fully remove it from the con-
tainer.
With the Danbuoy removed from the storage container you are now free to bolt the mounting brackets to your chosen point
on the push pit rail. Make sure the fixing is secure and the bolts are tight.
Once you have completed the mounting of the storage container you should refit the Danbuoy in its pouch, make sure the red
lifting webbing is in position to help the Danbuoy to be lifted out in an emergency. At this point you now need to secure the
firing cord to the container (see picture) FAILURE TO DO THIS WILL RESULT IN FAILURE OF THE DANBUOY TO INFLATE AND IT
WILL SINK TO THE BOTTOM.
MAKE SURE YOU SECURE WITH AT LEAST A DOUBLE KNOT SO THERE IS NO CHANCE THE KNOT CAN SLIP OR BECOME UN-
TIED.
Instructions for use
REMEMBER THE DANBUOY FIRING LANYARD MUST BE TIED CORRECTLY PRIOR TO USE
To deploy the Danbuoy simply open the container top and lift the red webbing in an upwards direction, once you have a grip of
the pouch you can fully remove it and drop it overboard, YOU DO NOT NEED TO REMOVE THE DANBUOY FROM THE POUCH, IT
WILL OPEN UPON INFLATION. The weight of the Danbuoy will allow it to sink and when it reaches the end of the length of firing
lanyard it will activate and inflate fully. The firing pin and lanyard will remain attached to the storage box but the Danbuoy will
float free. The light will automatically operate upon inflation and the drogue will help reduce the Danbuoy drifting.
Repacking
After use the Danbuoy can be re-armed and repacked into the storage container YOU WILL NEED TO PURCHASE A SEAGO 33g
DANBUOY RE-ARMING KIT.
Before re-arming and repacking you should first wash the Danbuoy with clean fresh water and allow to fully air dry.
To begin the re-arming and packing process deflate the Danbuoy using the oral tube located on the mast of the Danbuoy. De-
press the inner valve with your finger while you coil the Danbuoy up to expel all the air. FAILURE TO FULLY EXPEL ALL THE AIR
WILL RESULT IN FAILURE AND IRREPARABLE DAMAGE WHEN THE DANBUOY INFLATES. If necessary replace the light (available
separately, not sold as part of the re-arming kit) Unscrew the empty gas cylinder and replace the firing pin that is attached to
the lanyard, then screw in a new gas cylinder from the re-arming kit into the firing head (hand tight). It may be easier to untie
the knot attaching the firing lanyard to the box and re-tie once the re-arming and folding process is complete.
Once the Danbuoy is re-armed you can begin the folding schedule in order for it to fit back in the storage container, make sure
the weight is at the bottom of the container and the firing lanyard is neatly coiled and placed within the pouch and is re-tied
after the pouch is replaced. Follow the pictorial sequence as set out.
