EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN SWITCH
The large red mushroom switch located on the
top of the APEX is the Emergency Shutdown
Switch (Figure 11). To turn the power on, the
user must rotate the switch 90 degrees in the
direction of the arrows (clockwise). Since the
switch knob must be rotated, it helps to prevent
accidentally powering up the APEX. Pushing the
red mushroom knob down until it latches will
immediately turn the unit off.
QUICK RELEASE PACK FRAME
The APEX has an integrated quick release pack
frame (Figure 12). Just press the latch tabs
on the waist belt and shoulder straps and the
entire APEX falls away. See page 36 for more
information.

ATTENTION! Use of the Apex Electrofisher outside the recommended operating
conditions specified by the manufacturer may result in impairment of the safety
