SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
THE P-16 RESCUE TOOL
The Power Hawk ® P-16 Rescue Tool utilizes aerospace gear technology, namely the Curtiss Wright Power Hinge

,
to deliver high output forces to tool attachments such as spreaders and cutters. Tool attachments are quickly
interchangeable using high-strength steel, ball detent pins. A variable 70

articulation of the power head and
attachments allows greater versatility of access as compared to conventional hydraulic rescue tools. The P-16
Rescue Tool is powered solely by 12 volts DC. There are NO HYDRAULICS. The rear handle has a circular design
to maintain identical trigger switch operation regardless of the tool’s rotational position.
THE PC-100 CONTROLLER UNIT
The “brain” of the Power Hawk ® P-16 Rescue System is the PC-100 Controller Unit. The PC-100 receives input
from the P-16 Rescue Tool trigger switch and allows 12 volts DC power to be delivered to the Rescue Tool for
operation. Special electronics within the PC-100 sense electrical current and automatically cut power to the tool
when maximum force is reached. When this happens, the user should reverse direction to relieve the load, then
reposition the tool.
NOTE: The PC-100 Controller Unit and the P-16 Rescue Tool are serialized as a matched
set, and should be used as such
.
CAUTION
The PC-100 is serviceable only by the Factory or an Authorized Power Hawk Service Center.
Do not break the manufacturer seals. Do not loosen or remove the black pressure-relief
knob. Internal access or disturbance of PC-100 components may result in uncontrolled
operation of the P-16 Rescue Tool and create risk of serious personal injury and/or damage
to property and/or equipment.
