Packing the Tactical Ladder
1. To pack the Tactical Ladder, begin with the bottom rung of the Ladder and progressively
pack rungs into the Line Container, ensuring the side rails do not twist (Fig. 20a).
2. When all rungs have been packed, close the Line Container Door - allowing fixed point of
Ladder and tether to remain outside the Line Container Door for attachment to the Grappling
Hook (Fig. 20b).
3. Use Cut-Away Pin to fasten the Line Container Door closed (Fig. 22).

Each payload has a “live end” which travels with the Projectile. The “live end” has Cut-Away Pin
secured on the end of the Payload or at the base of the leader or tether. The Cut-Away Pin holds
the Line Container Door closed until deployment, automatically releasing the door of the Line
Container to allow the line to follow the Projectile without resistance.
Climbing Lines and Ladders have a 5-6 foot leader or tether which will connect to the Grappling
Hook. The end of the Payload which does not travel is called the “dead end”. The “dead end” of
the Climbing Line fastens to the Eyelet behind the inverted “T” bracket of the Launcher.
The “dead end” of the Tactical Ladder is packed inside the Line Container and therefore does
not fasten to the Launcher Eyelet (Fig. 21).
