HANDRAILS — There is a handrail rope supported by two fold-up
stanchions mounted on the splash plate at each side of the IRB-R. To set up
the handrail, pull each stanchion out and away from the mounting bracket
and stowage catch, then lift the stanchion up; a spring will automatically set
the stanchion into the mounting bracket once the stanchion is vertical. To
stow the handrail down, lift each stanchion up and out of the mounting
bracket, fold down, then release. Make sure the stowage catch is secure. When
bays are connected, the handrail ropes are joined by connecting the snaphooks
together. Press the lever on either snaphook to disconnect ropes.
