Tactical ResQmax Operation Manual
31
This Line-throwing & Rescue Appliance may need to be depended on in variety of
emergency situations. It is possible that in many of those situations a human life may
depend on reliable operation and performance of this equipment.
In order to ensure that the equipment is at all times operationally ready, the Manufacturer
recommends that the Purchaser takes the following actions:
•
Provide adequate and frequent training in the operation of this equipment in actual
field conditions.
•
Implement and maintain a program for the regular review of the equipment to ensure
that it is intact and complete, the Projectiles are pressurized, and the equipment is
ready in all regards for use to respond to an emergency situation.
Wear on the components in this system is controlled by:
•
the number of uses.
•
the storage conditions and care the unit receives by the end user.
With good care and proper storage conditions the serviceability of the unit is predictable.
However, if subjected to rough use, or if not kept clean and free from contaminants by the
end user, the
need for service can be dramatically accelerated.
Due to the high pressure of the compressed air used in this system the components of principal
concern are the Projectiles, the Nozzle Valve Assembly, and the Launcher.
In order to observe recommended service intervals, it is imperative that the end user maintain
a log tracking the number of uses of:
•
each Launcher firing,
and
•
each discharge of a Cylinder & Nozzle Assembly.
The Manufacturer recommends that this equipment be serviced, by technicians trained and
certified by the Manufacturer in the maintenance and repair of this equipment, at the earliest
of the following events to occur:
For the Launcher:
•
the first indication that there is any problem with operation of the equipment,
or
•
when 300 shots have been logged,
or
•
three years from the date of purchase.
For the Projectile:
•
the first indication of any physical external damage to the Cylinder,
or
•
at the 5
th
year anniversary of the date of Cylinder manufacture, as stamped on the
neck of the Cylinder.
For the Nozzle Valve Assy:
•
the first indication that there is any problem with the operation of the equipment
that cannot be corrected by the replacements of the O-rings (see page 28),
or
•
when excessive wear becomes evident on the beveled surface of the Nozzle Body,
(refer to page 28, margin),
or
•
when 150 shots have been logged on the Nozzle Valve Assembly.
The internal Mechanism in this appliance is complex and any maintenance or repair
other than that described in this manual should be performed by a technician trained by
the Manufacturer in the repair of this equipment. Please contact your Rescue Solutions
International, Inc. distributor for more information or the Manufacturer by calling
800-709-5018 or by e-mail at [email protected].
Service
Note:
As with all
equipment, lack
of use can often
cause more
damage to the
Launcher than
regular or even
excessive use.
At a minimum,
every Launcher
should be
inspected by
a technician
trained in the
maintenance of
this equipment
at 36-month
intervals.
