4. GENERAL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS4.1. INITIAL USE

When receiving your equipment check for any sign of damage to the box, and report it to your supplier/distributor as damage could haveoccurred during shipping. Unpack in upright position and check the product for damage. To make sure the product conforms to yourspecifications,checktheproductdetailsonthelabelonthecylinderoftheequipment.

CHECK THE EQUIPMENT FOR EXTERNAL DAMAGE. NOTIFY THE SUPPLIER/DISTRIBUTOR IMMEDIATELY IF ANY DAMAGE IS FOUND. DO NOT USE DAMAGED EQUIPMENT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE!

In general different types of operations can be distinguished:• Operating the locking device• Operating the ProFix Max• (Dis)connecting an attachment• (Dis)connecting a PowerPlate• Using the ProFix Max bottom ring• Connecting pneumatic hoses• Disconnecting pneumatic hoses• Connecting the pressure regulator• Disconnecting the pressure regulator• Pneumatically follow a load moving upwards• Pneumatically follow a load moving downwards• Depressurizing the ProFix Max

4.2. PREPARATION BEFORE USE

• Check the ProFix Max’s cylinder and piston. Do not use if they exhibit major damage and/or do not function as intended. • See chapter 6 for further information.

• Check the operation of the unlock button. When extended, the ProFix Max should retract smoothly when the button is pushed. • See chapter 6 for further information.

MANUALLYPush the unlock button on the ProFix Max.

Notice that the more air pressure has been built-up in the ProFix Max, the harder it is to push the button. It is recommended to release the air pressure as much as possible before unlocking.

PNEUMATICALLYPush the dedicated control button on the ProFix Max handheld (provided that all hoses are connected correctly).

Make sure the operating pressure is at least 3 bar/43 PSI higher than the air pressure in the ProFix Max. Otherwise it will not unlock.

If disconnected, connect the ProFix Max system to the Resqtec pneumatic system according to chapter 4.8 & 4.10.

The ProFix Max handheld controller can be connected to the NT handheld controller.

Lift the load slightly until the ProFix Max extends.

Keep pressing the control button to continue.

The ProFix Max is designed in such a way that it can only be retracted when it is not supporting any weight. Make sure that the entire weight is supported by your lifting device, so ProFix Max can unlock and retract securely.

RELEASE THE CONTROL BUTTON IF ANYTHING GOES WRONG OR TO STOP LOWERING.

Start lowering the load with your lifting device. The ProFix Max now retracts and follows the load downwards.

Keep pressing the control button to continue lowering.

RELEASE THE CONTROL BUTTON IF ANYTHING GOES WRONG OR TO STOP LOWERING.

6.3. ANNUAL MAINTENANCE

Many years of safe use is guaranteed if the product is properly cared for and maintained. To this end the product must be inspected at least once a year. This must be carried out by a service technician trained by Resqtec who possesses the necessary tools and testing equipment.

It is also possible for you, the user, to carry out maintenance yourself. In the context of your own safety and the product liability it is necessary thatappropriatetrainingshouldbeundertakenfirst.Yoursuppliercanadviseyouonthisand/orattendtotheannualmaintenanceonacontractbasis, if desired.

STRUCTURALLY DAMAGED AND/OR BROKEN EQUIPMENT MUST NEVER BE USED DURING RESCUE OPERATIONS. THIS MAY RESULT IN VERY DANGEROUS AND POTENTIALLY HARMFUL SITUATIONS. DO NOT ATTEMPT!

If structural damage and/or broken equipment or parts are discovered, immediately contact your distributor/supplier or the manufacturer.

DO NOT REPAIR ANY BROKEN EQUIPMENT AND/OR PARTS. ALWAYS CONTACT YOUR DISTRIBUTOR/SUPPLIER OR THE MANUFACTURER.

Repairing equipment and/or parts causes your warranty to expire. Always contact your distributor/supplier or the manufacturer when broken partsand/orequipmentarediscovered.Brokenequipmentand/orpartscanthenbesenttocertifiedservicecenters.

Whenever a load is on the ProFix Max, always try to capture the load in the center of the attachment as much as possible.

TRY TO AVOID NON-SYMMETRIC LOADING.

7.8.SIDELOADINGPROFIXMAX

SIDE LOADING A PROFIX MAX CAN CAUSE INTERNAL DAMAGE, WHICH COULD LEAD TO THE FAILURE OF THE PROFIX MAX. AN ACCIDENTALLY SIDE-LOADED PROFIX MAX NEEDS TO BE CHECKED AND RECOVERED BY THE DISTRIBUTOR/SUPPLIER.

7.9. BUCKLING OF PROFIX MAX

PxM-2300orextendedProFixMaxshoringdevicesarelimitedbythebucklingfailuremode.Refertothededicatedloadcharts(chapter5.3)ofthe ProFix Max to see when buckling is the limiting failure mode (this is the length where the load limit lines are no longer horizontal).

To which extent the working load is reduced depends on the length of the ProFix Max, the extension and the stroke of the cylinder.

7.10. ANGLED LOADS

When a ProFix Max is placed under an angle to the load, the load inside increases. For small angles the load increase is negligible, however that changes when the angle increases. There are two possible situations:

SITIUATION 1: VERTICAL LOAD

Inthiscasethereisaload-increaseintheProFixMaxduetoanangleoftheProFixMaxcomparedtotheappliedload(FV).

There is also a horizontal load resulting on the ground, in combination with a verticalload which is the same as the applied load. This horizontal load might cause the ProFix Max to slip or break out. As the horizontal load can be quite substantiala ProFix Max placed under an angle must always be secured with straps, chains and/or earth nails.

Graph 8.1 and table 8.1 show the load increase caused by angled placing of the ProFix Max.

Example:aProFixMaxplacedatanangleof45°hastocarryaverticalloadof3Tons.As shown in the table and graph the resulting load in the ProFix Max is increased by a factor 1.4: 3 x 1.4 = 4.2 TonsThe horizontal load on the ground is equal to the vertical load: 3 x 1.0 = 3 Tons.

USER MANUAL PROFIX MAX STABILIZATION SYSTEM

Resqtec Manual ProFix Max (DM058K06)

SITUATION 2: HORIZONTAL LOAD

When a ProFix Max is used in a raker system there is a horizontal load (FH) acting on the ProFix Max which also results in an increased axial load. There is also a horizontal load resulting on the ground, in combination with a verticalload which is the same as the applied load. The horizontal resulting load might cause the ProFix Max to slip or break out. As the horizontal load can be quite substantial a ProFix Max placed under an angle must always be secured with straps, chains and/or earth nails.

Graph 8.2 and table 8.2 show the load increase caused by angled placing of the ProFix Max.

Example:aProFixMaxplacedatanangleof30°hastocarryahorizontalloadof1.5Ton.As shown in the table and graph the resulting load in the ProFix Max is increased by a factor 2: 1.5 x 2 = 3 Tons.Theverticalloadonthegroundisequaltothehorizontalloadmultipliedby1.73:thereforetheverticalloadonthegroundis:1.5x1.73=2.6TonsThe horizontal load on the ground is equal to the horizontally applied load.
