Note
When the raft Is completely packed and hooked up to cylinder in kit dropline, place
raft on top of kit component bag and retaining line on top of raft. To better manage
space, especially with the LRU-16/P and LRU. 17/P rafts, the raft must be pocked with
the bottle to the rear of the RSSK. The contents of the inner bag must be arranged so
as to leave a space in the rear where the inflation bottle will fit down Into. The Inner
bag tiedown straps must be left loose enough to allow the raft bottle to extend to the
bottom of the kit. The tiedown straps will still hold the inner kit contents bag in the
bottom of the RSSK upon kit depolyment and lid/bottom separation.
