Chains and shackles

Pulling  applications  require  a

chain-and  shackle

package.  All

packages

include

t w o

attachment shackles

and  two  6-foot  sections  of

chain with slip hooks. Shackles

attach  to  Jaws  of  Life  tools  with

quick-release pins.

¨

 Package A: JL-16, JL-24

¨

 Package B: JL-32B, JL-27, rams

¨

 Package C: Extension chain for

    JL-32B, JL-27

Entry tips

These tips originally designed for aircraft

skin applications are useful in piercing,

cutting and slitting sheet metal, wallboard

and other panel type barriers

such  as  trains,  planes,

buses, ship bulkheads and

mobile  homes.  They

interchange quickly with

standard  automotive  style

tips of JL-32B and JL-27.

2-cycle additive lubricant

 

      This synthetic lubricating oil comes

in convenient 2-ounce bottles de-

signed  to  mix  with  1  gallon  of

gasoline.  Regular  use  assures

proper gasoline mixture for smooth

operation and extended life, (24 bottles/

case).

Reels

Available with manual

or  electric  rewind,

space-saving  reels  come

with 100 feet (30.5m) of hose to a l l o w

quick,  efficient  operation  and  orderly

hose storage. There is no need to remove

the power unit from the vehicle. Electric

12V DC rewind model operates from the

emergency vehicle’s electrical system.

Both units are 18 inches (457mm) high

and rest on a 14-inch (356mm) mounting

base. The electric rewind model is 17

inches long by 23.25 Inches wide (432mm

by 590mm); the manual model is 16.5

inches by 18 inches (419mm by 457mm).

ACCESSORIES

ENHANCE  YOUR

SYSTEM  WITH

THESE

ACCESSORIES.

Fire-resistant hydraulic fluid

Jaws of Life synthetic fluid is the best fluid

available for hydraulic rescue applications.

It  is  a  fire-resistant,  noncorrosive,

electrically  nonconductive,  rust

preventive  lubricant  that  maintains  its

viscosity  over  a  wide  range  of

temperatures. Jaws of Life hydraulic fluid

resists deterioration over time and has

proven  itself  as  the  hydraulic  fluid  of

choice for two decades. It is available by

the case (7 quarts/6.65 liters per case).

Multi-tool manifold blocks

Connect two or three Jaws of Life tools to

a single power unit and simplify hydraulic

hose layout. These patented multi-tool

manifolds allow automatic pressure

change-over to any of

the  connected

tools. Constructed

of  rugged  alloy

steel  with  black

oxide finish and high

visibility  reflector

plate.  Multi-tool

manifolds 

are

available  with  or

without  pressure

dump valve.

Attachment set

Real-life extrications often require more

than  standard  tips.  This  handy  set

increases  the

capability  of

your  system.

The set includes

a conical point,

base 

plate,

V-block  and

wedge 

that

mount  directly

to any of the rams. An adapter permits

the base plate to be used with the JL-32B

and JL-27 for lifting applications. The

components  are  investment  cast  tool

steel.  The  set  is  enclosed  in  an

impact-resistant plastic storage/carrying
case, and includes shackle pins.

Hose

Nonconductive 

thermoplastic

twinned-line  Jaws  of  Life  hose  is

lightweight, kink-resistant, permanently

bonded and provides superior flexibility.

This distinctive orange hose is completely

s y n t h e t i c

and  Kevlar

reinforced,

and meets or

exceeds  SAE

100R8. It resists

deterioration

and  abrasion,

and  is  easy  to

clean. Proof-tested to 20,000 psi (1,380

bar), our hose provides a 4:1 operational

safety factor, and is available in 100-foot

(30.5m),  30-foot  (9.15m)  and  16-foot

(4.9m) lengths with quick disconnects.

     

Jaws of Life

® 

leads the industry in innovation-- not just in hydraulic

rescue tools, but in a broad range of accessories that complement the

industry’s  most  complete  line.
