1. Verify that the tow cable is not connected to the 3100P topside.

2. Coil the tow cable in a figure eight configuration.

3. Verify that the tow cable and tow vehicle connectors are free of corrosion or dirt. If

dirty, clean them with an alcohol wipe.

4. Apply a thin film of silicone grease to the pins of the tow vehicle tow cable connector

(see “Inspecting and Cleaning the Underwater Connectors” on page 4-2).

5. Mate the connectors by pressing them firmly together. Do not wiggle the connectors.

with seizing wire or a tie wrap.

used for this purpose.
