Maintenance

Care of the Projectile(s)

The projectile can be used over and over again if cared for properly.  Any visible damage to the
projectile on the exterior is cause for immediate replacement. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REFILL
A DAMAGED CYLINDER. This may cause an accident resulting in bodily injury or death.

If discharged into water, after use and before filling again to be stored, the projectile should have
the  Nozzle Assembly  removed  and  be  allowed  to  completely  dry  inside.  Often,  especially  if
deployed into seawater, there will be water residue in the cylinder that may give rise to corrosion
if not removed.

Each projectile cylinder is intended to have a maximum service life of five years from the date of
manufacture – and must be removed from service at that time – or sooner if there is any visible
evidence of damage. Each cylinder is date stamped. It is the responsibility of the purchaser to
insure that the projectile cylinder is not used after the service life has expired.

To dry the inside of the projectile cylinder;
1. Unscrew the Nozzle Assembly from the end

of  the  projectile  in  a  counter-clockwise
direction. (fig. 21)

2. Flush all parts, including the nozzle, 

with fresh

water

 and let dry.

3. Inspect  the  inside  and  outside  for  any

damage or corrosion.

4. Once dried, replace the Nozzle Assembly,

rotating  in  a  clockwise  direction  by  hand
until  snug.  DO  NOT  OVERTIGHTEN.
(fig. 21)

There is an “O” ring on the projectile nozzle
which  is  re-usable  unless  damaged.     A
replacement “O” ring is included. Do NOT use
any sealant or tape on the thread of the nozzle.
Apply a small amount of Corrosion Block on
the  threads,  and  use  inside  the  projectile
cylinder.  Install  the  Nozzle Assembly  tightly,
using hand pressure. Do not over tighten the
nozzle.  Use  Corrosion  Block  on  any  part  of
the projectile. (fig 22)

Note:

Inexpensive
replacement cylinders
are readily available
from the
manufacturer. 

DO

NOT use a visibly
damaged cylinder!

Note:

No user serviceable
parts on the trigger
mechanism, please
return to
manufacturer

Grappling Hook Options

The grappling hook is manufactured from titanium to provide the best balance between strength
and weight. The fixed Grappling Hook (fig. 5a) is certified by the manufacturer. Loads imposed on
the hook should never exceed the design loads.

Figure 5a. Grappling Hook 750

Design Rating -- Ultimate Strength of 2,200lbs / 1,000kg.

Recommended loads not to exceed 730lbs / 330kg

Note:

The types of uses
that the Grappling
Hook is subjected to
are beyond the
control of the
Manufacturer. It is
the responsibility of
the purchaser to
insure that the Hook
is inspected and
maintained using
methods that will
insure that it remains
suitable for its
intended use.

NOTE: 

Additional Special Purpose Grappling Hooks are available on a special order basis.
