Fix lower buoyancy units B and C to outside of unit. Tighten the M12 dome cap bolts to hand tight with hex key

Note: Over-tightening of these bolts can lead to damaging buoyancy units

Change-out to MedEvac Mode

Locate buoyancy panel BUsing manufacturer issued Allen key, undo
2 x Allen bolts on
outer frameRemove buoyancy panel B, affix to outside of frame and re-secure with Allen Bolts Locate buoyancy panel CUsing manufacturer issued Allen key, undo
2 x Allen bolts on
outer frameRemove buoyancy panel C, affix to outside of frame and re-secure with Allen Bolts

Both lower buoyancy panels of B and C are now securely fixed to the outside of the FROGs frameAssembly should resemble this Photograph
