Fig. 5-17 Manual release and reassembling the manual release
Manual release: The H.R.U. has a manual release facility eliminating
the requirement for a Senhouse Slip Hook. For annual liferaft service the
SALCOM SERVORELEASE catch can be detached by lifting the release lever as
illustrated in the adjacent picture.
Pull the release lever UP AND OUT.
Reassembling the manual release: Using the weak link placed over the
release catch assembly, press the assembly down and slide the cam block
towards the centre of the Hydrostatic Release Unit as show.
When sufficient downwards force is applied it will be possible to slide the cam
block/release lever assembly between the Cam Tongue and the Shackle
Release Catch tongues until it snaps into place. (Use the weak link as a tool to
protect the hand from protrusions and distribute the
load while applying force.
