Tactical ResQmax Operation Manual

Why will the Projectile not 

engage when I push it into 

the Launcher?

How can I tell if the Projectile 

has any air in it?

How  do  I  re-engage  the 

Safety  if  I  do  not  want  to 

shoot after pushing in the 

Safety Button?

How do I adjust the range if 

I only want to shoot a short 

distance?

How do I know whether or 

not the Projectile’s Nozzle 

Valve is open on a loaded 

Launcher?

There are two possible reasons:

1.  The “V” groove on the Nozzle Protector is not being 

properly aligned with the mechanism. Hold the “V” groove 

upward, slide the Projectile into the Launcher, and rotate 

gently (page 14).

2.   The Trigger has been manually moved forward since 

the last time the Projectile was removed – effectively 

leaving  the  Safety  ON  even  though  the  Launcher  is 

empty.  Press the Safety Push Knob to release the Safety 

Assembly,  and  reinsert  the  Projectile  as  described  in 

answer 1.  above.

If you have a Projectile with the Nozzle Valve closed and 

are not sure if it is charged, you can check this by loading 

it into the Launcher and opening the Nozzle Valve. If 

the Pressure Gauge shows pressure, then it is charged 

and you may proceed to shoot or close the Nozzle Valve 

and remove the Projectile. It is a good idea to develop a 

system to ensure that full and empty Projectiles are kept 

separately or marked with a label (page 20).

Reset the Safety Assembly by applying pressure to the arm 

of the Safety Push Knob and rotate in a clockwise direction 

for a few degrees. The Safety Push Knob will “pop out” and 

reset the Safety to ON position (page 13).

The range can be adjusted by allowing some air to escape 

from the Projectile before shooting. Open the Nozzle Valve 

and allow the Mechanism to be pressurized. Carefully 

open  the  Bleed  Screw  until  you  hear  the  air  slowly 

escaping.  Watch the Pressure Gauge until the pressure 

has dropped to the level you require, and then tighten 

up the Bleed Screw and fire (page16).

The Valve Key will only depress fully when the stem of 

the Valve  Key  is  aligned  with  the  stem  of  the  Nozzle 

Valve. Depress the Valve Key in the vertical and horizontal 

positions.  Which ever position permits the Valve Key to 

fully depress will represent the position of the Nozzle 

Valve. If horizontal, the Nozzle Valve is Open. If vertical, 

the Nozzle Valve is Closed (page 15).
