1. INTORDUCTION: SAFETY FIRST!
1.1. SAFETY MESSAGES
This manual contains safety messages. They point out potential hazards that could hurt you or others around you as well as damage
the equipment in use. These messages should therefore be read carefully and understood. They are highlighted by the safety alert
symbol as shown on the left:
The potential hazards are explained as to what could happen and how to avoid or reduce the chance for injury or damage.
Important information has been highlighted as well. To point out this information, a light bulb icon is used. It brings topics to your

1.2. GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION
The Resqtec equipment is designed to provide safe operation. All users should read and be thoroughly familiar with the operating instructions
and safety precautions stated in this manual. Operator safety depends on users being properly trained by the Authority having jurisdiction and
using the equipment for its intended purposes only. The following safety precautions must be observed at all times:
UNTRAINED USE OF RESQTEC EQUIPMENT AND ITS ACCESSORIES MAY RESULT IN VERY DANGEROUS AND
POTENTIALLY HARMFUL SITUATIONS. DO NOT ATTEMPT!
• Resqtec equipment must only be operated by people authorized and qualified by the Authority having jurisdiction.
• Be aware that this is not an all-encompassing training manual. This manual is meant as a reference-guide for working with this
specific piece of equipment, and the user should already be trained in and qualified for using rescue equipment.
• Suitable protective equipment must be worn as directed by the Authority having jurisdiction. At a minimum, this should include
gloves, helmet, eye protection and body protection — such as turnout gear.
• Prior to use, inspect all components for any signs of damage or fraying. Do not use damaged equipment.
• Stay alert. Do not operate the system when tired.
• Use only Resqtec authorized service parts.
• This equipment should only be used with accessories approved by Resqtec. Use of unauthorized accessories can result in unpredict
able and unreliable product operation and is therefore prohibited.
