Operation
Deploying the Tactical ResQmax
1. Conduct a visual inspection to insure that the bridle lines (if used) are properly connected to the
“live end” of the line – and that the “dead end” of the line is connected to the eyelet on the
launcher or otherwise secured. (fig 11c - d)
2. Fully depress the Valve Key in the vertical position, and rotate the Valve Key 90 degrees
clockwise to the horizontal position. Release the Valve Key. (fig 15b - c)
3. Check the pressure gauge to verify pressure. (No pressure reading on the gauge may indicate
that you did not successfully open the valve in the nozzle or that your projectile was not
charged with air when loaded in the launcher.)
4. Press the Safety Push Knob to the “off” position to release the mechanism. (fig 13b)
Figure 20a
5. For horizontal line deployment hold the butt of the
stock against your shouler as you would a firearm,
at a 35 degree angle aiming OVER the intended
target. (fig 20a)
5a.For maximum vertical deployment of a Line & Hook
hold the stock of the launcher against your shoulder
and aim approximately 10 degrees clear of the
intended target and at 80 degrees to a horizontal
plane.(fig 20b)
6. Using two fingers, squeeze the trigger. Hold the Tactical
ResQmax steady as the projectile leaves the launcher
and the line or ascending ladder “pays out.”
Figure 20b
Note:
A Line intended for vertical deployment is too short to deploy
horizontally at full service pressure. A Line deployed
horizontally at full service pressure will reach full extension
in approximately one second -- and apply a concentrated
force on the “dead end” of the line -- which may result in the
loss of the launcher equipment and injury to the operator.
Note:
Once deployed, the Line and Hook arrangement will descend
toward the operator very quickly if the Hook does not
engage the targeted area. Extreme care must be taken by
the operator to avoid being struck by the Line and Hook
during its downward descent.
Note:
Adequate training in
all aspects of the
use of this
equipment is
essential in order to
familiarize yourself
with its safe
operation and
capabilities -- and to
deploy it with
accuracy.
Note:
The security of the
engagement point
of the grappling
hook is beyond the
manufacturer’s
control. It is the
responsibility of the
purchaser and/or
operator of the
Tactical ResQmax
to insure that the
grappling hook is
properly fixed and
safe for a human
being to ascend. The
first user of any
ascent team is
responsible for
lashing the line to a
fixed point. The hook
is intended to be
ascended by a single
user per use.
ATTENTION:
On firing, the unit exhibits a sound level in excess of 110 dB, which rapidly decays to background
levels within one minute. It is therefore recommended that ear defences systems are used
during operation of the product
Line & Ladder Options
In addition to the line options shown customized lines & ladders are available to suit specific
applications.
