3. Deploy the anchor as follows:

WARNING

Potential for physical injury. Crew members other than those deploying the

anchor must stand clear when the anchor is being deployed. Failure to observe

this warning may result in serious injury if a person is hit with the anchor.

Gain good footing near the water's edge.

Make sure the rope is free to play out.

Throw the anchor underhand into the water source.

At beach sites, walk or carry the anchor to the desired location about 30 feet past the

desired location of the inlet strainer.

e. Pull slowly on the rope and feel for the anchor to grab. If it does not grab, repeat the

anchor deployment throwing it into an adjacent location.

NOTE

The anchor may be deployed by boat if available and if water conditions allow.

Appropriate water safety precautions, such as the use of life jackets or vests, must

be observed.

Complete the raw water hose connections as follows (see Figure 6):

a. Untie the free end of the rope from the suction hose.

b. One crew-member pulls the free end of the rope as another feeds out the inlet strainer

and suction hose into the water.

c. When the inlet strainer is in the desired position, uncap the hose end and the hose will

sink.

d. Tie the free end of the anchor rope to the raw water pump frame to secure the anchor.

e. Connect the uncapped end of the raw water suction hose to Adaptor A-01 at the raw

water pump inlet.
