Servicing the SeaShelter3TM and the HydroFixTM HRU The SeaShelter3TM Category I bracket has two main pieces, the lid and the base. To open the bracket, turn the spring loaded knob counterclockwise 1/4 of a turn and pull. The lid will lift away from the top of the base and disengage from the detent at the bottom of the base. They hold a beacon ready for deployment while preventing false alarms. Category I brackets also require replacement of the Hydrostatic Release Unit every two years. NOTE: Whenever a beacon is returned for service, it must be accompanied by the bracket. Y1-03-0233 Rev. D 23 To remove the expired HRU When opening the SeaShelter3TM lid, note that the beacon is installed with the lanyard face in. If you view the HRU rod as the center of a clock, a properly installed HRU will rest at the 7 o'clock position, as shown in the picture above. The spring must be held in place during the removal and installation of the HydroFixTM to prevent injury. This will relieve pressure on the HRU and allow it to be rotated counterclockwise to the 5 o'clock position. Slowly relieve pressure from the ejection spring and allow it to deploy. Failure to replace the entire assembly may cause the bracket to malfunction. WARNING: Be sure to use only ACR's HydroFixTM HRU (ACR P/N 9490) in the SeaShelter3TM. Use of unauthorized replacement parts will void your warranty and may cause the bracket to malfunction. Follow the instructions that accompany the HydroFixTM for marking the next expiry date and for selecting the correct rod adapter for the SeaShelter3TM. To install the new HRU Apply pressure to the ejection spring and hold it flat against the bracket. With your free hand place the new HRU into the key way in the 5 o'clock position and rotate clockwise to the 7 o'clock position. The HRU should now be held in the 7 o'clock position with the pressure on the ejection spring. Beacon should fit snugly in the bracket with the antenna captured by the bracket. Reinstall the lid by seating the bottom of the lid to the detent on the base. Close the upper portion of the lid so the HRU rod lines up with the spring loaded knob.
