Lifeboat Poster

This document provides instructions for operating a lifeboat release system. It outlines the different types of releases - normal, emergency, drill/training, and resetting. For an emergency release, one must break the hydrostatic lock cover and lift both it and the safety lock to pull the release handle. When resetting after release, one person must be stationed at each hook while another prepares them to close. After hoisting slightly, one must confirm the end link is engaged, the link lock is closed, and the indicator shows a complete reset.
