Warnings

This equipment is intended to be used by professionals trained in the use of this equipment. Misuse of
this equipment may cause  bodily injury or death.  Manufacturer disclaims all liability resulting from the
use of this equipment in any manner other than that prescribed by the manufacturer.

The Tactical ResQmax is extremely powerful and propels a projectile at high speed. It is NOT a firearm,
but the same precautions should be used. If misused, this equipment could cause serious bodily injury or
death. Handle all components with the appropriate care.

DO  NOT  deploy  the Tactical  ResQmax  directly  at  any  person  or  property.   When  testing  or  training
with the Tactical ResQmax, make sure that no persons or property are in the vicinity of the target.

The Tactical ResQmax requires proper training and servicing. If you are not familiar with this equipment
or unwilling to follow the recommendations as outlined in this Operation Manual, then you should not
operate  this  equipment. The  user  must  follow  recommended  servicing  and  maintenance  guidelines  to
ensure the long-term integrity and safety of the Tactical ResQmax.

Some optional grappling hooks offered are for use to establish a line only – or for recover of mooring
lines  -  and  should  not  be  used  for  the  support  of  a  human  being.  Only  grappling  hooks  certified  for
climbing by the manufacturer should be used for the support of a human being.

Loads imposed on grappling hooks should never exceed the design loads. Any grappling hooks must be
removed from service if any signs of damage or deformity are visible.

It is the responsibility of the purchaser of any grappling hooks to establish a program which provides for
regular  examination  of  each  grappling  hook  for  deformation  or  invisible  fractures  using  a  magnetic
particle test or other similar test. Any grappling hook which shows hidden fractures as a result of such
a test should be immediately removed from service. The frequency of this examination is at the discretion
of the purchaser, and should be based upon the use of the grappling hook. It is the purchaser’s responsibility
to  insure  that  all  grappling  hooks  are  maintained  in  a  manner  which  makes  them  suitable  for  their
intended use.

If you are uncertain about the proper usage, care, maintenance or any other aspect of this equipment,
call  Rescue  Solutions  International,  Inc.  directly  at  800.709.5018  or  760.727.8998  or  by  email  at
[email protected].
