Protective Shell & Bumper Frame
Introduction
LBV2 is fitted with a Protective Shell and Bumper Frame. The purpose of the protective shell is
to protect the internal components as well as provide a more hydrodynamic shape through the
water. In addition, the LBV2 systems are fitted with a protective bumper frame offering further
protection, mounting for the ballast weight and various optional accessories.
Work Environment
Prior to beginning ensure you have a clean and dry workspace. Locate the required tools and
parts and have paper towels available. It is a good idea to have a container to keep fasteners
in as they are removed. Read through the instructions fully prior to beginning and make sure
you understand what they are asking you to do.
