2 AS NOT ALL MEMBERS MAY BE PRESENT AT ALL PARADES, THIS MANUAL PROVIDES INSTRUCTIONS FOR RIGGING FOR PARADE AND RIGGING FOR TRANSPORT. IT ALSO PROVIDES PHOTOS AND LOCATIONS OF STORAGE. PLEASE ENSURE THAT ALL ITEMS ARE ACCOUNTED FOR IN THEIR CORRECT LOCATION WHEN UNRIGGING AFTER THE PARADE. STORAGE LOCATIONS ARE PROVIDED IN ENCLOSED PHOTOS.

3 RIGGING INSTRUCTIONS PRIOR TO RIGGING, PROVIDE ACCESS TO FLOAT BY UNLATCHING THE STERN GATES AND STERN STEPS. GATES ARE LATCHED BY SLIDING STOPS ON INBD SIDE. STEPS ARE LOWERED BY PULLING HITCH PIN, THEN LIFT ASSEMBLY UP AND AFT, THEN UNFOLD LOWER STEP. 1) THE TOPSIDE CREW FIGURES SHOULD BE PLACED PRIOR TO RAISING THE SUBMARINE TO PARADE HEIGHT. (EASIER TO ACCESS AT TRANSPORT HEIGHT)

THE FIGURES ARE STOWED IN THE STBD TRAILER TONGUE BOX. 2) RAISE THE SUBMARINE TO PARADE HEIGHT, BY PULLING ON HANDLE AT FWD END OF PLATFORM AND PUSHING UPWARDS AND FORWARD FROM REAR OF PLATFORM.
