Three black plastic UTMA-4 fuzes are installed into the top surface of the mine A thin rope carry handle is also provided. The small pressure plate area of the fuzes make the mine resistant to overpressure, additionally the low metal content of the mine make it very difficult to detect. Although no secondary fuze well is provided, it is possibly the mine could be fitted with improvised anti-handling devices.
