  • Page 38: Hydraulic Supply

    All battery-powered devices should use a special hydraulic oil for rescue equipment in accordance with WN 4841751. Normally the oil does not have to be changed, but, if this becomes necessary, it can be changed only by service engineers at GENESIS RESCUE SYSTEMS. WWW.GENESISRESCUE.COM...
  • Page 39: Electrical Supply

    ELECTRICAL SUPPLY Inserting the battery Connect battery (1) to the rescue equipment (2). Slide the battery along the rails (3) provid- ed for this purpose, until the battery clicks in. To release, press the push buttons on both sides of the battery (4). Then pull the battery up and out.
  • Page 40 OPERATING E-FORCE 2.0 DEVICES To start the battery-powered device, activate the ON/OFF switch (1). The switch glows green. The battery-powered device is operated by the rocker lever on the control handle. The movement speed can be precisely controlled by pressing with greater or lesser force. The maximum cutting, spreading or compressive force is reached only if the rocker lever is pushed completely through.
  • Page 41: Replacing Blade Inserts

    REPLACING BLADE INSERTS (C185, C195, C236 NXTGEN EFORCE 2.0) During blade replacement, the cutter is fixed in place. Any slipping should be avoided. Re- placing the blade requires a soft-face hammer, the roll pins supplied, a punch and the blade inserts themselves.
  • Page 42 Next, the cutter is rotated and the blade insert is placed in the cutter blade with no insert. When inserting, make sure that the blade insert does not twist. If the blade inserts cannot be inserted by hand, use the soft-face hammer (see figure 3). Fig.
  • Page 43: Changing Spreader Tips

    Changing the spreader tips (S45) The spreader tips are secured in the spreader arms with collar studs. The studs are secured by a spring-loaded ball and must be pressed out for replacement. After the tips have been replaced, the collar studs can be pushed back through. Check that the studs are seated correctly (pressed completely in).
  • Page 44: Possible Applications

    POSSIBLE APPLICATIONS Safety information WARNING! Never reach between the blade arms! WARNING! During any work with battery-powered devices, voltage-carrying parts can break or fly off, thereby endangering people. Uninvolved parties must therefore remain a safe distance away or stay in the danger zone only as long as necessary. Cutting (Cutters, Combination devices) The devices’...
  • Page 45: Cutting

    CUTTING (CUTTERS, COMBINATION DEVICES) To prevent the blades from being damaged, they must always be placed at right angles to the material to be cut. Also, the tips of the blades must not be more than 5 mm apart during the cutting process.
  • Page 46: Spreading

    SPREADING (SPREADERS, COMBI DEVICES) The spreading function’s uses include opening doors, lifting vehicles and other movable loads, pushing vehicle parts away, and squashing tubes and beams. For this, the vehicle must be stably stabilized and supported. To prevent any sliding during spreading, the arms and tips are fluted inside and out. Whenever possible, the tips should be used only to enlarge a gap, because repositioning the spreader prevents slipping.
  • Page 47: Pulling

    PULLING (SPREADERS, COMBI DEVICES) After the chain set has been mounted on the spreader tips, the combi device can also be used for pulling. For this, the chains must be tightly tensioned and must be tensed only in the pulling direc- tion.
  • Page 48: Crushing

    CRUSHING (SPREADERS, COMBI DEVICES) Pipes and other hollow profiles are crushed by closing the spreader arms. With combi devic- es, however, crushing is only to be performed in the tip area. ATTENTION! Material to be crushed can suddenly jump away. Do not remain in the work area of the spreading and combi devices! WWW.GENESISRESCUE.COM...
  • Page 49: Lifting

    LIFTING (SPREADERS, COMBI DEVICES) The combi device can also be used for lifting vehicles or other movable loads. Care must be taken to secure the load against slipping away and to position the spreader tips far enough apart under the load to prevent slipping. The load being lifted must be constantly monitored (tipping, rolling away or changing posi- tion).
