1. The life raft is usually fixed on the raft frame on the side of the platform deck, and the inflatable guy rope drawn out of the raft should be tied to the hydrostatic pressure releaser on the raft frame.

2. When using a life raft, the hydrostatic pressure release decoupling device should be loosened so that the raft can automatically slide into the water or be thrown into the water (remember not to untie the guy rope tied to the raft frame).

3. The life raft will be thrown into the sea by the release personnel.

4. Hold the hand rope and wait for the life raft to inflate and release.

5. After the release is completed, the personnel board the raft from the ladder or jump into the sea.

6. After the personnel board the raft, use the safety knife on the life raft to cut the cable and escape from the danger area.

  Precautions

1. When the life raft drifts too fast in the wind, the sea anchor can be thrown into the water to reduce the drift speed.

2. In order to avoid the invasion of wind and waves, the doors at the front and rear entrances and exits should be lowered. At this time, the watch should be strengthened through the lookout window on the roof of the raft.

3. If there is water in the raft, take out the water ladle and absorbent sponge from the repair bag to drain the water.

4. At night, use a flashlight to send out Morse signals; during the day, use a reflector to send out signals with the help of sunlight.

5. When it rains, use water bottles after drinking and any utensils that can hold water to drain the rainwater from the tent's gutters and store the rainwater through the water pipes for drinking.
