- Page 3 CB-40 Deployment SAFETY FIRST Warning: It highly recommended that buoys are installed by professionals with training in marine safety. Anchors, chains, heavy gear and boat clutter during deployment is unsafe. Care must be taken during deployment to maintain a clean and safe environment. Use of proper equipment (work boat, lifting rig, gloves, safety footwear, etc.) is essential to safely deploy any buoy system.
- Page 4 CB-40 Deployment Understand ballast weight and stability Important: To prevent overturning and ensure stability, additional ballast weight may be needed. As configured at the factory, the center of gravity of the buoy is near the water surface. A single point mooring line and chain, connected to the eye at the bottom of the cage is typically enough weight to ensure stability.

To develop an effective mooring strategy, a variety of application-specific criteria (water level fluctuations, currents and wave action, debris loads, etc.) must be thoroughly reviewed prior to deployment. NexSens does not endorse any particular mooring strategy for any specific application.
