The Power Hawk P-16 Rescue System Instruction ManualPage 3 of 33SYSTEM DESCRIPTIONTHE P-16 RESCUE TOOLThe Power Hawk P-16 Rescue Tool utilizes aerospace gear technology, namely the CurtissWright Power Hinge , to deliver high output forces to tool attachments such as spreaders andcutters. Tool attachments are quickly interchangeable using high-strength steel, ball detentpins. A variable 70 articulation of the power head and attachments allows greater versatilityof access as compared to conventional hydraulic rescue tools. The P-16 Rescue Tool ispowered solely by 12 volts DC. There are NO HYDRAULICS. The rear handle has a circulardesign to maintain identical trigger switch operation regardless of the tool’s rotational position.Serial NumberWARNINGThe P-16 Rescue Tool must be connected to the Power Hawk PC-100Controller Unit. Never attach the P-16 Rescue Tool directly to any otherpower source. Connection to an unauthorized power source will result inuncontrolled operation of the power head and attachments and create riskof serious personal injury and/or damage to property and/or equipment.NOTE: The P-16 Rescue Tool and the PC-100 Controller Unit are serializedas a matched set, and should be used as such.

The Power Hawk P-16 Rescue System Instruction ManualPage 4 of 33THE PC-100 CONTROLLER UNITThe “brain” of the Power Hawk P-16 Rescue System is the PC-100 Controller Unit. The PC100 receives input from the P-16 Rescue Tool trigger switch and allows 12 volts DC power tobe delivered to the Rescue Tool for operation. Special electronics within the PC-100 senseelectrical current and automatically cut power to the tool when maximum force is reached.When this happens, the user should reverse direction to relieve the load, then reposition thetool.NOTE: The PC-100 Controller Unit and the P-16 Rescue Tool are serialized as amatched set, and should be used as such.WARNINGThe PC-100 is serviceable only by the Factory or an Authorized PowerHawk Service Center. Do not break the manufacturer seals. Do not loosenor remove the black pressure-relief knob. Internal access or disturbance ofPC-100 components may result in uncontrolled operation of the P-16Rescue Tool and create risk of serious personal injury and/or damage toproperty and/or equipment.Pressure-ReliefKnobManufacturer SealSerial Number

The Power Hawk P-16 Rescue System Instruction ManualPage 6 of 33STEP 2: P-16 RESCUE TOOL AND PC-100 CONTROLLER UNIT CONNECTIONSPrior to making electrical connections, make sure all connectors are cleanand free from dirt and debris. On the P-16 Rescue Tool cable and theCA-4M Power Cable Assembly, the “ribbed” side of the power cable mustmatch with the negative terminal side of the yellow connector plugs.Attach the CA-4M Power Cable connector with the decal “Connect to Power Hawk Tool” to theP-16 Rescue Tool cable connector. The small control wire connectors must be aligned, thenscrewed together by hand. The large connectors snap into place when properly attached.ControlWireConnect the other end of the CA-4M Power Cable Assembly to the PC-100 Controller Unit.The control wire connector must be aligned with the case-mounted receptacle, then tightenedby hand. The power wire connector snaps into the case-mounted connector labeled “PowerOutput”.HINT: Always connect the threaded control wire first before connecting the larger yellowconnectors. This will make aligning the control wire tabs and screwing the connectortogether easier by not fighting the heavier wire.The Power Hawk P-16 Rescue System can be stored with the PC-100 Controller fullyconnected – this is recommended for faster on-scene response. The only further connectionrequired on-scene is for the 12VDC power supplied to the controller as described in Step 3.See Storage Recommendations in the Maintenance section for more information.NOTEThe Power Hawk P-16 Rescue System power cable connectors are color-coded. YELLOWplugs are only used to deliver controlled 12 volts DC from the PC-100 Controller Unit to the P16 Rescue Tool. RED plugs are used to supply 12 volts DC power to the PC-100 from asource such as a Power Hawk power pack, direct vehicle hook-up, 12 VDC battery, 12 VDCgenerator, etc. The yellow and red connectors are configured differently and cannot beconnected together. Do not attempt to attach different colored connectors.

The Power Hawk P-16 Rescue System Instruction ManualPage 7 of 33STEP 3: POWER SOURCE SELECTION AND CONNECTIONSThe Power Hawk P-16 Rescue Tool is powered using 12 volts DC which must be channeledthrough the Power Hawk PC-100 Controller Unit. Power sources may include: Power Hawk Power Packs such as the PWR-3X12Other 12 VDC batteries or battery packsDirect 12 VDC vehicle system hook-up12 VDC generator12 VDC converted power supplyIt is recommended that back-up 12 volts DC power always be available on-scene whenusing the Power Hawk P-16 Rescue System, especially when operating withconsumable power sources such as the PWR-3X12 Power Pack.NOTEThe 12 volts DC power source must be capable of delivering sufficientcurrent to properly operate the P-16 Rescue Tool without causing damageto the power source itself. (See Specifications section of this manual forP-16 current requirements.)PWR-3X12 Power PackThe PWR-3X12 Power Pack is a vented portablebattery pack that utilizes a 33 amp-hour valveregulated lead-acid battery. The PWR-3X12 PowerPack comes equipped with two red “Power Output”plugs which can provide power to two devicessimultaneously, including the PC-100 ControllerUnit for P-16 Rescue Tool operation or otheraccessories such as the Hawkeye flood light,Sawzall reciprocating saw, blower fan, or winch.In addition, a “cigarette lighter” style power port isincluded to power auxiliary equipment such ascellular phones, floodlights, computers, etc. Acharge indicator and test button are provided sothat the user can visually check the charge state ofthe internal battery. The PWR-3X12 Power Packincludes a battery charger port for connection to therequired battery charger (i.e. Model BC-U1)provided by POWER HAWK Technologies, Inc.(See Battery Charger Operation section of thismanual.)

The Power Hawk P-16 Rescue System Instruction ManualPage 8 of 33WARNINGDo not make direct contact between battery positive and negative terminalsas this can cause an explosion or fire. Keep the protective caps snappedin place over the red connector terminals, charger port, and cigarettelighter port when not in use.VENT HOLESThe Power Hawk PWR3X12 Power Pack is ventedto allow any hydrogen gasexhausted by the internalbattery to safely diffuse outof the carrying case withoutdangerous build-ups. Thesevents include holes on theback panel, in the frontbottom indent, on the handlestand-offs, oversized wireexit holes on the sides of theunit, and drain holes on thebottom of the unit.WARNINGPrior to charging, inspect case toensure all vent and drain holesare clear and fully open. Do notplug vents. Inspect vents anddrain holes after each use.Prior to selecting the PWR-3X12 Power Pack,note the charge condition of the battery bydepressing the test button located on the front ofthe unit. A fully charged battery is indicated by allfive LEDs illuminated. As the charge on thebattery is depleted, fewer LEDs will illuminate,indicating reduced battery capacity.IMPORTANT: The LED indicator will show theproper voltage level ONLY when the battery isin its “settled” state. It will not indicate accuratestate-of-charge under the following conditions:DRAIN HOLES

The Power Hawk P-16 Rescue System Instruction ManualPage 9 of 331. During recharging, all LEDs on the PWR-3X12 will illuminate, even if the batteryis not yet fully charged. After disconnecting the charger from the battery pack, itmay take up to 20 minutes for the battery to “settle” and for the LEDs to indicatethe actual charge level. If the battery is being recharged, you MUST use thecharger indicator lights to determine if the battery has reached its fully chargedcondition (see Battery Charger Operation section).2. During operation of the P-16 Rescue Tool, the LEDs on the PWR-3X12 willindicate RED (or empty) even though there may be plenty of capacity remaining inthe battery. This is because the LED indicator is sensing voltage and asamperage is being drawn by the P-16 Rescue Tool, the voltage of the batterydrops naturally when under load. After operating the tool, it may take severalminutes for the battery to “settle” and for the LEDs to indicate the actual chargelevel.CAUTION: A partially discharged battery will shorten the operational time of the P-16Rescue Tool. Keep the PWR-3X12 Power Pack fully charged when not in use.Recharge at least once a month to avoid reduced battery capacity due to selfdischarging. Charge the PWR-3X12 Power Pack using only the Power Hawk BatteryCharger Model BC-U1 (or previous Model 2C0810-2).To facilitate one-person portability when using the PWR-3X12 Power Pack, assemble thestraps provided to harness the PC-100 Controller Unit to the PWR-3X12 Power Pack asshown below.PigtailHint: With thepower pack lying onits back, set the“button” feet on theback of the PC-100into the slightdepression aroundthe PWR-3X12’sproduct label.

The Power Hawk P-16 Rescue System Instruction ManualPage 16 of 33Removing P-16 Tool Attachments General and Spreader Arms Relieve tool load prior to removing tool attachment.Spreader arms should be at least slightly open. Failure torelieve load will prevent removal of attachment pins. Use the coated steel cable between the pins as an aid whenpulling up pins. Pins should remove easily. If not, verify toolload is relieved. Slightly openedLoosen the clutchand rotate thepowerhead asnecessary for betteraccessibility to thepins. Be sure to retighten the clutchprior to operation.HINT: After removing Pins,drape them over each handlebracket to prevent losing them.Cutters All Power Hawk cutter blades are held together witha special-steel bolt and nut that is tightened toapproximately 150 ft.-lbs. of torque. As the cutter isoperated to open or close, there exists a naturalload on the pins as the blades “push through” thefriction induced by the high torque of the bolt. Torelieve this load, simply operate the tool in onedirection by depressing the trigger switch, then“jog” the switch (split-second “on” then “off”)in the opposite direction. This will relieve theload and free the attachment pins for removal.Forcesact onPinsBoltTorqueWARNINGThe attachment pins supplied with the P-16 Rescue Tool are made fromspecial-grade steel. Use only pins supplied by Power Hawk Technologies,Inc. Use of unauthorized pins can result in product malfunction causingserious personal injury and/or damage to property and/or equipment.

The Power Hawk P-16 Rescue System Instruction ManualPage 17 of 33STEP 5: POWERHEAD 70 VARIABLE POSITIONINGThe P-16 Rescue Tool is designed with a pivoting powerhead to provide greater access andversatility of the attachment. The powerhead is capable of rotating 70 to the left relative to thetool body when upright. During operation, the powerhead is held in place by a clutch locateddirectly above the powerhead. To pivot the head, loosen the clutch knob, swing thepowerhead and attachments to the desired position, then retighten the clutch knob. To swingan attachment to the right, simply use the tool upside downNOTETo prevent debris from entering the clutch housing and causing damage,do not remove the clutch knob.WARNINGThe clutch knob must be tightened prior to engaging and loading the P-16Rescue Tool. Failure to do so may result in sudden movement of the tooland attachments, which may cause personal injury and/or damage toproperty and/or equipment.The clutch is intended to secure the position of theattachments. It has been designed, however, so that if thebody of the tool (handles, covers, etc.) should becomejammed against other objects and loaded during operation,the clutch will slip within the 70 rotation limits to preventtool damage, even with the clutch knob tight. There will betimes when, in order to prevent the P-16 tool body fromjamming against other objects, the tool should be usedUPSIDE DOWN and the attachments repositioned. Lowerhandle grips are provided on the tool for this purpose.

The Power Hawk P-16 Rescue System Instruction ManualPage 18 of 33NOTEStopThe 70 -rotation limits of the P-16Screwpowerhead is maintained through theuse of a stop screw. To protect the toolfrom serious damage, the stop screw isdesigned to shear should the tool bodybecome jammed against other objectsand loaded during operation with nomorerotationalfreedomofthepowerhead. If this happens, the tool,though still operational, has lost its safetystop positioning and must be repaired byreplacingthestopscrew(SeeMaintenance section). This condition willbe apparent since the P-16 attachments will be capable of swingingbeyond 70 and making contact with the carrying handle when the clutchis loose.WARNINGDo not load the P-16 Rescue Tool such that the body becomes jammedagainst other objects and is loaded. Shearing of the stop screw causesloss of the 70 safety stops. Operating the tool in this condition may resultin serious personal injury and/or damage to property and/or equipment.

The Power Hawk P-16 Rescue System Instruction ManualPage 19 of 33OPERATIONTHE POWER HAWK P-16 RESCUE SYSTEM SHALL BE OPERATED ONLY BY THOSETRAINED AND AUTHORIZED BY THE AUTHORITY HAVING JURISDICTION.Before operating the Power Hawk P-16 Rescue Tool, make sure that the clutch knob directlyabove the P-16 powerhead is tight and the quick-change attachment pins are firmly seated inplace. Do not attempt to adjust the position of the clutch while the arms or cutters are underload (including attachments being fully opened or closed).Remove tension on theattachments before loosening the clutch. This will allow positioning in the complete 70 rangeof motion.The Power Hawk P-16 Rescue Tool is operated byturning the trigger switch at the back of the unit. Turningthe switch to the left (counter-clockwise) will open theattachments. Turning the switch to the right (clockwise)will close the attachments.The P-16 Rescue Tool is designed to shut offautomatically when it reaches maximum force. Whenthis occurs, reverse direction to relieve load andreposition the tool.After the tool has shut offautomatically, DO NOT continue to move the attachments in the same direction without firstreversing direction to relieve the load, then reposition the tool.WARNINGContinued loading of the P-16 Rescue Tool in the same direction after ithas automatically shut off, without first relieving the load, can result inover-stressing and breakage of rescue tool components which may causeserious personal injury and/or damage to property and/or equipment.WARNINGNever use the tool while holding the cutting or spreading attachments. Toavoid risk of serious personal injury, do not under any circumstances placehands or other body parts on or near Power Hawk attachments when inoperation.Do not carry or hold the tool by the trigger switch.Hold the handles and operate the trigger switch witha finger. The round handle is designed to alloweasy grasp of the tool and operation of the triggerswitch when held in any position.Remember:One hand on each handle at all times!

The Power Hawk P-16 Rescue System Instruction ManualPage 20 of 33Helpful Hints: When cutting, keep in mind that the greatest cutting forces are available at thebase of the cutter (point closest to the cutter bolt). When possible, begin cut asclose to the base of the cutter as conditions will allow.When spreading, forces are greater near the base of the arms than near the tip.Additionally, tool forces increase as the spreader moves from the closedposition to the fully opened position due to mechanical advantage. You can usethis knowledge to your advantage when performing an operation.OPERATING SAFETY INFORMATION Never use the tool while holding the cutting or spreading attachments. Hold the toolonly by the black handles when operating. To avoid risk of serious personal injuryand/or damage to property and/or equipment, do not under any circumstances placehands or other body parts on or near Power Hawk attachments when in operation. Operate the tool only with the clutch knob tightened. The clutch is intended to securethe position of the attachments. Failure to do so may result in personal injury due tosudden movement of the tool and/or attachments. When spreading with Power Hawk spreader attachments, make sure objects beingspread are stabilized and operator(s) and patient(s) are shielded from any loose debris. When stabilizing, use proper cribbing methods. Power Hawk cutter attachments are designed to cut a variety of materials such as doorand windshield posts, pipe, sheet metal, steel plate, rebar, etc. Do not attempt to cuthardened metal, such as steering columns, nader pins, seat belt bolts, lock hasps, etc.,as this action may result in blade damage. When cutting with the Power Hawk cutting attachments, make sure the object beingcut is anchored on both sides and the tool is held firmly. Make sure the cutter bolt is tight. The cutter nutshould be torqued to 150 foot-pounds. Make sure the cutter-link spiral rings are secure. Position the blades so that the material being cutis perpendicular and do not allow the blades totwist so that they separate while cutting. Failureto do so may result in component breakage,causing serious personal injury and/or damageto property and/or equipment.SpiralRings(1 on each side)

The Power Hawk P-16 Rescue System Instruction ManualPage 21 of 33HINT: Traditional cutting methods teach you to BEGIN your cut perpendicular to thematerial. This will actually lead to greater blade separation due to the natural twist createdby the angle in the cutter blades (see below).NaturalTwistBladeAngleCutterCentered onBlade angle90 BladeSeparationStarting cut withblades at 90 tothe materialbeing cut the cutter will twistnaturally to center the bladeangle on the material andcause blade separation andpoor cutting.The goal is to COMPLETE your cut perpendicular to the materialto avoid blade separation. To achieve this see below NaturalTwist 90 Start at an anglegreater than 90 to the materialbeing cut and the cutter will twistnaturally to finish the cutat 90 , with little bladeseparation.
