Using the Line Projectile
A black Projectile Protector (Fig. 17a) is recommended
when deploying a Line with the Tactical ResQmax. Each
Line Projectile is supplied with a Projectile Protector
slipped over the Projectile Cylinder.
NOTE: The Projectile Protector can not be used
with the Grappling Hook.
The Protector may be removed to inspect the Projectile
Cylinder for damage and can be reinstalled. If the Protector
shows any sign of damage, it should be removed
immediately and the Projectile Cylinder should be
inspected.
The covers for the Training Projectiles are made of high-
density urethane (Fig. 17b) and absorb the shock of
impact when landing on a hard surface. These covers are
factory installed. To remove the Training Projectile cover it
may be necessary to cut it completely off the Cylinder.
Note:
Any damage to
the Projectile
Protector
may indicate
damage to
the Projectile
Cylinder.
If the Protector
is damaged
the Projectile
Cylinder must
be visually
inspected
for damage.
Damaged
Protectors
should be
replaced to
protect the
Projectile
Cylinder.

NOTE 2
NOTE 1
A Projectile Cylinder with minor scratches to the paint
(Fig. 17c - Note 1) may be returned to service.
However, if the Projectile Cylinder surface shows
any signs of deformation (indentation or deflection)
(Fig. 17c - Note 2), the Projectile Cylinder must be
removed permanently from service.
Note:
If the Projectile
Cylinder sustains
any visible
damage from
contact with a
hard surface,
it must be
removed from
service.
Protecting the Cylinder/Projectile
All practice deployments not using the Training Projectile SHOULD BE INTO WATER.
If deployed into water, the Projectile can be used over again hundreds of times.
Use caution when pulling the Projectile back to avoid damaging it. Always wash in fresh water.
Remove all water from inside Projectile Cylinder and allow to dry before storage or refilling.
Remove the Nozzle Assembly from the Projectile after each deployment and shake out any water
present. Rinse the Projectile with fresh water inside and out, and allow to dry prior charging
the Projectile for storage.
