CAUTION
Extreme care should be taken not to handle the rigged ARABS
by any of the rigging components nor the exposed deployment
system components. Specifically, the ARABS should not be
moved or steadied by grasping the payload connector straps,
nor the master tie components, as this may interfere with
proper deployment of the system. At no time should any tie
down straps be routed between the AGU skids and the
payload, where they may interfere with or damage the
antennae. Master tie cutter lanyards should not be attached to
the master tie cutter firing pin ring. Cutter safety pins should
not be removed at this time. This will prevent inadvertent firing
of the master tie cutters.
