Take great care to hold the spring in place during removal and installation of the new HRU to prevent injury. WARNING: Stow the EPIRB in a dry location as it will activate if out of the bracket and wet. WARNING: Non-ACR-supplied hydrostatic release units must not be installed in ACR Category I EPIRB brackets. ACR cannot and does not warrant the performance of other manufacturers’ products. Installation of a non-ACR-supplied HRU voids the warranty and potentially jeopardizes your safety. CAUTION: Visually check the EPIRB when removing it from the bracket. It must be sent back to ACR for check up and/or refurbishment if ANY of the following conditions exist: • Cracks to the exterior plastics • Activation indicator break tab is broken • Moisture appears inside the EPIRB • Lacquer is not present in one of the screws or appears to have been tampered with NOTE: Some parts in this kit will not be used. Refer to Figure 1 and the instructions for your specific model for details. Discard unused parts. \\Eng-sec\CR Public\HRU Graphics\HRU calendar for manuals.jpg SECTION 3 – HOW TO DETERMINE HRU EXPIRATION DATE The ACR HydroFix™ HRU is a replaceable part and, as such, has dating associated with it.
