HOW TO USE MOORING 150
1. Screw the launching tube on to the ba e unit (fig 1,1).
2. Make ure that the line i well fa tened to the loop on the
projectile.
3.Turn the handle of the clo ing valve (fig 1.2). You will hear
the air flow in to the accumulator. Shut the clo ing valve
after 5 - 10 econd . If a horter hooting di tance i
needed, fill omewhat le air in to the accumulator before
clo ing the clo ing valve.
4. In ert the line in to the line track along the projectile.
In ert the projectile all the way down in to the launching
tube (fig 2).
5. Fa ten the end of the line to a olid point at the launching
ite. If a line box i u ed, hold the line box with the ame
hand u ed for pulling the afety knob.
6. Aim over the target with an angle of approx. 27°. Make
ure that the PLT® i well upported with a Pivot Support or
by u ing the rear end of the PLT® a a hold (fig 2).
7. Pu h the afety knob (fig 3.1). Pull the trigger with a firm
and rapid movement (fig 3.2). The projectile will now be
launched.

HOW TO RELOAD THE LINE
IN TO THE LINEBOX
1. After u ing the rope, a few tep will en ure optimal
function for next u e-
2. Rin e the line in fre h water and allow it to dry. A wet or
alty line will increa e the weight of the line and decrea e
the hooting length.
3. After drying, arrange the line o it can run freely from the
coil or from a bucket.
4. Tie the end of the line to the loop in ide the Linebox.
5. Put the line manually and randomly in to the Linebox.
Frequently giving it a pu h downward or knocking the
Linebox to the floor o that the line i well packed and that
all the line fit in to the Linebox.
6. When all the line i loaded, tie on the ball, put the lid on
and it i ready for u e.
Keeping the line in a linebox en ure that the line run out
without knot or entanglement. It i al o ea y tored.
NEVER FIRE THE PROJECTILE
WITHOUT THE LINE
WHY TRAIN WITH THE PLT®?
AS FOR ALL SAFETY WORK, TRAINING CAN MEAN
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FAILURE AND SUCCESS.

MAINTENANCE AND REFILLING OF
THE AIR CYLINDER
MAINTENANCE
In general the air cylinder and clo ing valve are maintenance free.
However if leakage i detected, plea e contact your dealer or RESTECH

The air cylinder mu t periodically, depending on national rule , be
in pected and te ted. If national rule are not applicable, the air cylinder
mu t be approved every 5 year by licen ed authoritie , or by RESTECH
Norway A/S.
REFILLING THE AIR CYLINDER
Depending on national rule , the air cylinder can be filled with 200 bar
(3000 p i) or 300 bar (4350 p i) compre ed air. When filled to 200 bar
(3000 p i), it contain ufficient amount of air for four good hot . If filled
to 300 bar (4350 p i), number of good hot are ix.
For filling to 300 bar (4350 p i), imply connect the bottle to a tandard
cuba diving (breathing air) compre or with tandard 5/8" thread
according to DIN 477.
For filling to 200 bar (3000 p i), normally a yoke coupling ANSI -
CGAV1/1989 i u ed. A fitting for thi tandard are available from
RESTECH Norway A/S a art no 1269.
Filling the air cylinder follow national rule and hould be carried out by

 SYSTEM
The PLT y tem i a line throwing y tem driven by
compre ed air. You may choo e from everal kind of
projectile for different purpo e . All model are ba ed on
the ame ba e unit. The launching tube are
interchangeable.
SAFETY
- Air driven -no explo ive . Can be fired from and into
inflammable area .
- Safety knob, which prevent accidental firing.
PERFORMANCE
- Depending on the projectile u ed – up to 230 m (755 ft)
throwing di tance.
- All projectile are propelled to maximum peed before
leaving the launching tube. Thi en ure high preci ion
and it i only lightly effected by cro -wind.
ECONOMY
- Low co t u e. Refilling of compre ed air after 4/6
hot are only co t .
- All projectile and line are re-u eable.
Unlimited helf life. With regular maintenance, the PLT will

Monthly check:
- En ure that the pre ure of the air cylinder are
minimum 200 bar (3000 p i), maximum 300 bar
(4350 p i).
- Pu h the afety knob and pull the trigger to en ure that
it move moothly. Thi te t hould be carried out
outdoor in ca e there i left-over air in the
accumulator of the ba e unit.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PLT®
By opening the clo ing valve, air flow from the air cylinder
through the reducing valve and into the accumulator of the
ba e unit. The pre ure in thi chamber i 75 bar (1088
p i).
When the trigger i pulled, a mall amount of air i
evacuated to activate the hutter mechani m that allow the
75 bar (1088 p i) of compre ed air to flow in to the
launching tube. The hooting force brought to the rear end
of the projectile i 7630 N.
Due to the heavy recoil of 5300N it i e ential that the
PLT® i well upported. The rear end of the PLT® can be
held again t a olid point that with tand thi force during
operation. However we recommend the u e of Pivot
Support (page 15-16). Thi give flexibility and afety to all
operation .
If the bottle i filled to 200 bar (3000 p i), it will upply the
ba e unit with enough air for four maximum range hot . If
the bottle i filled up to 300 bar (4350 p i), it will have
ufficient amount of air for ix maximum range hot before
refilling i nece ary.
The bottle can be refilled from a tandard high-pre ure
compre or for breathing air. In ome countrie an
additional yoke coupling for refilling the air cylinder i
needed. Thi i available under article no 2920.

PIVOT SUPPORT
Fig 1 Fig 2
Due to the heavy recoil it i nece ary to have a good
upport for the PLT. The back of the PLT® can be u ed a
upport.
But we will recommend u e of the Pivot Support (fig 1). With
the Pivot Support come pivot pin , nylon wa her and
crew for fa tening it to the PLT® according to fig.3 on next
page.
A teel tube hown on fig 2 hall be welded or clamped at
the launching area (rail, i.e.), to a ecure point that
with tand recoil up to 5300 N. Tube can be in talled at
different place on board.
