Q
I accidentally tried to fire the launcher
without disengaging the safety. I then tried
to disengage the safety but it seems
“jammed.”
When you prepare to fire the launcher
the mechanism is under pressure. If you
apply strong finger pressure against the
trigger prior to releasing the safety, the air
pressure in the mechanism will maintain
your finger pressure against the Safety
mechanism – even after you remove fingers
from trigger — preventing it from
disengaging.
To “free” the Safety and permit it to
operate as intended:
•Push Trigger forward to relieve
pressure
•RELEASE SAFETY,
•and you are all set to fire.

A
Q
How do I know whether or not the
Nozzle Valve is open on a loaded
projectile?
Why is the pressure in the Projectile lower
when I load it in the launcher than it was
when I filled it?
I installed a Projectile Cylinder and
opened the Nozzle Valve, and I hear a
hissing from inside the Launcher Housing
– how do I stop this loss of air pressure?
The Valve Key will only depress fully when
the stem of the Valve Key is aligned with
the stem of the Nozzle Valve. Depress the
Valve Key in the vertical and horizontal
positions. Which ever position permits the
Key to fully depress will represent the
position of the Nozzle Valve. If horizontal
the Valve is Open. If vertical, the Valve is
closed. (fig 16a - d)
When you are filling the projectile with
air it will get warm. This causes the
pressure to rise and you will reach your
target pressure with the air in the bottle
at a temperature higher than ambient.
Once air in the projectile has cooled down
the air will contract and lower the
pressure.
This problem is addressed by two steps:
1. Fill the Projectile Cylinder VE Y
SLOWLY.
2. “Overfill” the Projectile by 200 psi./15 Bar
– to allow for the inevitable cooling of
the air after filling. See Filling, page 12)
In order of probability, you need to do the
following;
•Tighten Bleed Screw on Launcher
Housing. (fig 14a)
•Check to insure nylon insert is attached
to Bleed Screw. (fig 14b)
•Check Nozzle Valve O-rings. (fig 23b)
If none of these steps solves the problem
contact your escue Solutions
International distributor.

Safety Sheet
CAUTION:
The use of any other compressed gas - either flammable and/or combustible, may result in a
spontaneous explosion causing severe injuries or death.
CAUTION:
If projectiles are subjected to extreme heat the pressure could rise sufficiently to rupture the
Pressure elief Assy., and allow the air to escape, preventing use of the equipment. efer to page
29 for instructions on removing and replacing the Pressure elief Assy.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
The beveled surface of the neck of the nozzle is subject to wear at the moment of launching. In
normal conditions this part is suitable for 150 or more discharges. Carefully inspect this surface
for excessive wear after each use. If there is any question regarding suitability of this part for
continued use it must be removed from service and inspected by a qualified technician.
NOTE:
Inexpensive replacement cylinders are readily available from the manufacturer. DO NOT use
a visibly damaged cylinder!
NOTE:
DO NOT coil or loop the line, EVE ! If you coil the line you may build in tension that will
cause snarls the next time you use it resulting in poor performance during deployment.
NOTE:
Some initial resistance may be experienced when trying to turn the Valve Key. However once
the Key begins to rotate it will turn easily. Be certain to rotate the Key a full 90 degrees.
Remember
If immersed in seawater, all lines and projectiles must be rinsed with fresh water and dried
thoroughly after use, and prior to being refilled or stored.
ATTENTION:
On firing, the unit exhibits a sound level in excess of 110 dB, which rapidly decays to background
levels within one minute. It is therefore recommended that ear defences systems are used during
operation of the product
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 distributor for more information,call

FrequentlyAsked Questions
Why will the projectile not engage when I
push it into the barrel?
How can I tell if the Projectile has any air
in it?
How do I re-engage the safety if I do not
want to shoot after pushing in the safety
button?
How do I adjust the range if I only want
to shoot a short distance?
QA
Two possible reasons:
1. The “V” groove on the Nozzle Protector
is not being properly aligned with the
mechanism. (Hold “V” upward – slide
projectile into the barrel and rotate
gently.) (fig 17a)
2. The Trigger has been manually moved
forward since the last time a cylinder
was removed – effectively leaving the
Safety “on” even though the Launcher
is empty. (Press the Safety Knob to
release the Safety, and re-insert the
projectile as described in 1.)
If you have a projectile with the valve
closed and are not sure if it is charged,
you can check this by loading it into the
launcher and opening the Nozzle Valve. If
the gauge shows pressure, then it is
charged and you may proceed to shoot
or close the valve and remove the
projectile. It is a good idea to develop a
system to insure that full and empty
bottles are kept separately or marked with
a label. (page 25)
e-set the Safety Assembly by rotating the
Safety Push Knob in a clockwise direction
for a few degrees. The Knob will “pop out”
to re-set. (page 19)
The range can be adjusted by allowing
some air to escape from the projectile
before shooting. Open the valve and allow
the mechanism to be pressurized. Carefully
open the bleed screw until you hear the
air slowly escaping. Watch the gauge until
the pressure has dropped to the level you
require, and then tighten up the bleed
screw and fire. (page 20)

Purpose of theTactical ResQmax
The Tactical esQmax is a new generation tactical line-throwing appliance fuled by compressed
air, specifically designed to deploy:
• a line only, or
• a grappling hook and line
• a grappling hook and ascending ladder
to an otherwise inaccessible point in both land-based and maritime environments.
Your Tactical esQmax comes completely assembled and ready for operation, except for filling
with compressed air. Adequate training in all aspects of the use of this equipment is essential in
order to familiarize yourself with its safe operation and capabilities. Review all instructions in
this manual prior to first use.
Applications
Some applications of the Tactical esQmax include:
• line deployment to establish a
messenger or load line
• ship to ship line deployment
• ship to shore line deployment
Range
The range of the Tactical esQmax varies depending on:
• Type and weight of line used
• Type of projectile and/or accessories used
• Air pressure in projectile at time of deployment
This chart provides conservative distances achieved when used by trained personnel in reasonably
calm conditions at 3000psi / 207bar service pressure:
In special circumstances additional distances may be achieved by using the equipment at higher
pressures. There is a significant safety margin engineered into each unit – permitting safe operation
of the units at pressures equal to 120% of rated service pressure on a case-by-case basis.

Service
Wear on the components in this system are controlled by
•The number of uses,and
•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 (see pages 8 & 9), 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:
•Thefirst indication that there is anyproblem with the 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 5th 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,
(see margin- Important Note: page 28),or
•When 150 shots have been logged on the nozzle valve assy.
This Line Throwing & escue Appliance may need to be depended on in a variety of emergency
situations. It is possible that in many of those emergency situations a human life may depend on
the reliable operation and performance of this equipment.
In order to insure 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
insure that it is intact and complete,that projectiles are pressurized,and that the
equipment is ready in all regards for use to respond to an emergency situation.
The internal mechanism in this appliance is very complex –and any maintenance
or repair other than that described in this manual should be performed by a
techniciantrainedbythemanufacturer in the repairofthisequipment.Please contact
your Rescue Solutions International distributor for more information, call 1-800-

Safety Features
The launcher Safety Assembly automatically engages each time a projectile is inserted, preventing
accidental launch of a projectile. An audible “Click” is heard as the projectile engages, signaling
that the projectile is safely engaged with the firing mechanism.
A Pressure elief Assembly is installed in the nozzle of each projectile. Its purpose is to prevent
any unsafe pressure build up in a filled projectile, whether in the launcher or not, if exposed to
extreme heat such as from a fire. This Pressure elief Assembly will rupture if the air pressure
goes over a safe limit. The Pressure elief Assembly is not reusable and must be replaced if it
should ever fail.
A second Pressure elief Assembly is installed on the launcher mechanism and is active at all
times when the mechanism is pressurized.
Multi-Shot Capacity
Our patented Nozzle-Valve Assembly permits any number of projectiles to be pre-charged and
stored with each unit allowing deployment of multiple projectiles in rapid succession.
Fueled by Compressed Air
The intended fuel for this system is compressed air - which is non-flammable and non-
combustible.
CAUTION:The use of any other compressed gas - either flammable and/or
combustible,may result in a spontaneous explosion causing severe injuries or death.

projectile on the exterior is cause for immediate replacement. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO EFILL
A DAMAGED CYLINDE . This may cause an accident resulting in bodily injury or death.
If discharged into water, after use and before filling again to be stored, the projectile should have
the Nozzle Assembly removed and be allowed to completely dry inside. Often, especially if
deployed into seawater, there will be water residue in the cylinder that may give rise to corrosion
if not removed.
Each projectile cylinder is intended to have a maximum service life of five years from the date of
manufacture – and must be removed from service at that time – or sooner if there is any visible
evidence of damage. Each cylinder is date stamped. It is the responsibility of the purchaser to
insure that the projectile cylinder is not used after the service life has expired.

To dry the inside of the projectile cylinder;
1. Unscrew the Nozzle Assembly from the end
of the projectile in a counter-clockwise
direction. (fig. 21)
2. Flush all parts, including the nozzle, with fresh
water and let dry.
3. Inspect the inside and outside for any
damage or corrosion.
4. Once dried, replace the Nozzle Assembly,
rotating in a clockwise direction by hand
until snug. DO NOT OVE TIGHTEN.
(fig. 21)
There is an “O” ring on the projectile nozzle
which is re-usable unless damaged. A
replacement “O” ring is included. Do NOT use
any sealant or tape on the thread of the nozzle.
Apply a small amount of Corrosion Block on
the threads, and use inside the projectile
cylinder. Install the Nozzle Assembly tightly,
using hand pressure. Do not over tighten the
nozzle. Use Corrosion Block on any part of
the projectile. (fig 22)
