The DB600 requires the following basic assembly steps before deployment. A more customized system may require additional steps; refer to the DB600 User’s Manual as needed. Install Deployment Tube • The deployment tube fits down through the top of the buoy. Note the orientation of the side bracket that prevents rotation of the tube in the DB600.
