Description
When installing the Quick Release Upgrade Kit, the FWD, MID and AFT floats are fastened to the skidtubes using quick release screws, thereby allowing removal of the floats within 12 minutes. The hoses also have quick release features, facilitating removal if the mission does not require over water operations.
*System includes quick release hardware to upgrade existing 20326-600 system to add functionality to quickly remove/reinstall the floats within 12 minutes. The quick release features are composed of: QR Shoulder Screws for floats, QR Couplers and Dust Caps for hoses, and QR Liferaft Reservoir Cover. Not compatible with D350-794-111 Aux Fuel Tank due to reservoir installation location in the side baggage compartment. System is for installation on high gear only.
