1.2 Manual drop mechanism

 The end of the supplementary painter is detached from the painter indication plate and tied to the cradle by hand. And the hydrostatic release unit is released manually. The container drops from the cradle rolling and pulls the operating line so the liferaft reaches the surface of the water while inflating. At this time, the liferaft is tied to the ship by the painter and the supplementary painter.
