Page 12: Rescue Tether
Rescue Tether The RT-1000 Robot is delivered with a Rescue Tether accessory capable of powering and moving the Robot in scenarios where the main electronics board is not functional. Use of the Rescue Tether is ONLY recommended in situations where the machine has ceased operation in a dangerous situation or where it may have become disabled and poses a hazard or disruption to regular pedestrian or vehicular traffic. - Page 13 Robot Connections The Rescue Tether uses three of the Robot cables harnesses that are connected to the electronics box inside the right service panel (Figure 2 and Figure 3). Power, Valve 1 and Valve 2 connections should be removed from the electronics box and plugged into the Rescue Tether cables (Figure 4 and Figure 5).
