3 INTRODUCTION The employees of TNT Rescue Systems, Inc. and your local dealer thank you for selecting our quality products. We want to help you to get the best results from your new rescue equipment and to operate it safely. This manual contains basic information on how to do that; please read it carefully before operating your equipment. Our commitment to you and your equipment begins with quality production and service. All information in this manual is based on the latest product information available at the time of printing. TNT Rescue Systems, Inc. reserves the right to make changes at any time without notice and without incurring any obligation. No part of this publication may be reproduced without the written consent of TNT Rescue Systems, Inc. This manual should be considered a permanent part of the tool, and should remain with the rescue equipment if resold. When you need warranty repairs, your authorized dealer is responsible for taking care of your equipment. Certain repairs could require your equipment to be returned to the factory. In the event your local dealer cannot repair your equipment, the dealer may provide you with loaner equipment until the factory can make the necessary repairs. If you should need customer assistance, parts, accessories, or service, please contact your local dealer: If you cannot reach your local dealer, contact TNT Rescue Systems at: TNT Rescue Systems, Inc West Oak Street Ashippun, WI or TNT-OM # Rev: /47

4 !! IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION!! IN THE EVENT OF ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR TNT RESCUE EQUIPMENT, REMOVE THE TOOL FROM SERVICE AND CONTACT YOUR AUTHORIZED TNT SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE Understand the operation of all controls and learn how to stop the engine quickly in case of emergency. Make sure the operator receives adequate instructions before operating the equipment. Do not allow children to operate the equipment. Keep children and untrained personnel away from the area of operation. Your engine s exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide. Do not run engine without adequate ventilation, and never run engine indoors. The engine and exhaust becomes very hot during operation. Keep engine at least 1 meter (3 feet) away from buildings and other equipment during operation. Keep flammable materials away, and do not place anything on engine while it is running. Prior to and after each use, the tools, hoses, and connections should be cleaned and inspected for damage. Only trained and qualified personnel should use extrication equipment! Before any operation begins, the object to be worked on must be stabilized. When operating rescue tools always wear a full complement of protective equipment including, but not limited to: Protective clothing covering the arms, legs, and neck Helmet with face shield and eye protection Protective gloves Boots Do not mix 10,500psi hydraulic equipment with 5,500psi equipment. Never reach between the cutter blades, or spreader arms. Do not position yourself between the rescue tool and an object to be worked on. When spreading or cutting, be sure to control all material being moved, avoid creating projectiles. Never disconnect the hoses, couplers, fittings, etc. under pressure. Never cut objects under tension or pressure (ex. shock absorbers, springs, pressurized cylinders). CUTTING THESE AND SIMILAR OBJECTS RISKS INJURY TO THE OPERATOR AND BYSTANDERS FROM PROJECTILE PIECES. Do not cut or crush fuel tanks, lines, or fill hoses. Use caution in cutting, crushing, or spreading as to avoid hazards in vehicle construction such as: air bag controllers and components, seat belt pre-tensioners, and onboard computers. If at any time the cutter twists or rolls, stop cutting immediately and reposition the tool. Not maintaining a 90-degree working angle could result in cutter blade damage. Be sure not to cut any hardened material. Never cut energized electrical cables. Avoid cutting a loose end of materials. The cut portion could become a projectile. If cutting a loose end is absolutely necessary, be sure to secure the loose end. There are no user serviceable parts on your TNT rescue equipment. Damaged hoses or equipment should not be used. Only use TNT Hydraulic fluid in your TNT rescue tools. Do not store rescue equipment under pressure never leave a tool in the fully open or fully closed position. Never leave a working tool unattended. FAILURE TO HEED THESE WARNINGS MAY RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY, UNNECESSARY PROPERTY DAMAGE AND OR DEATH. TNT-OM # Rev: /47
