In order to ensure the safety of the sea, the release hook is essential equipment. Today we're going to analyze some boats that have lifeboats and suspended life rafts, so you should choose a dual-use release hook, but if you don't have practical experience, this can be complicated. Key parts of the release hook may be damaged by incorrect operation.

To minimize this risk, we will describe the use of this version of the hook in detail, hopefully to your benefit.

The application method of release hook is introduced.

Automatic release hook: ensure correct release time and operation sequence. The normal operation is to first lower the liferaft or rescue craft to about 2 meters above the water surface, then pull the red handle to ensure that the hook is in the no-load release state. The life raft was not yet out of danger. Then continue to lower the life raft, when the life raft or rescue boat rises to the surface, under the action of buoyancy, the hook will no longer bear the force, the release hook will automatically release.

Manual release hook: in practical use, problems may arise, so in special cases, such as using automatic release, or in poor sea conditions, manual release.

Notice that the first step of the operation is the same as before. The first step is to lower the life raft or rescue boat from the water to about 2 meters and then pull the red handle to ensure that the hook is in a non-load-bearing release state. The raft was not yet out of danger. Then the liferaft (boat) will continue to the appropriate water height (not more than 2 meters, green treatment), it is best to green treatment of the next wave peak rise, remove the release hook, raft (lifeboat) next wave peak.

Finally, we need to reset the release hook to ensure the next normal operation. Operation steps: Lift the pull rod on both sides of the hook head at the same time, then the hook head can be reset. After reset, the hook head should be put directly into the hook head.
