4 Important safety and preventative maintenance information
Please follow the information in this section closely to prevent injury, damage,
or violation of your warranty conditions (available in our Terms of Sale at
https://www.boxfish.nz/support/terms-conditions/).
4.1 Lifting
The ROV, Accessories Box (with Control Station inside) and larger tether
reels (>1.2km version) are a two (2) person lift. Take care when lifting.
The ROV can only be safely lifted by the stainless-steel bumper/protection
bars, carbon fibre frame tubes, or the lifting eye on top.
4.2 Hazards
Take extreme care around deep water and potential slip hazards when
piloting and retrieving the ROV.
Plan your operations to minimize trip hazards from the components, tether
and cables.
Never operate the ROV in the presence of unaware swimmers or other
vessels.
Always supervise children around water and when ROV is operating.
While ROV is running pay close attention to the thrusters. Do not touch the
thrusters any time the ROV is powered on, or serious injury may occur. Keep
fingers, long hair and loose clothing or anything that may become entangled
well clear of the thrusters when operating.
The ROV should not be operated close to any object which may get caught
in the thrusters.
DO NOT look directly into the ROV LED illumination lights when they are
turned on.
