SECTION 306.001d HOLMATRO EXTRICATION EQUIPMENT
PURPOSE
To provide standard practices for the safe operation of Holmatro extrication
equipment.
APPLICATION
This procedure is provided to guide all members on the safe operation and
specifications of Holmatro extrication equipment. This information is to be used
during maintenance, training, and emergency operations.
OPERATIONAL POLICY
Members should operate the tools consistent with the expectations described in
Standard Operating Procedure, 306.001, Extrication Equipment Safety Precautions.
If the tool is used under water, it should be removed from service and a Holmatro
Certified Technician should inspect and clean the tool as soon as possible.
OPERATIONAL GUIDELINE
Members should be familiar with the user interface for the tool and battery prior to
operating the tool. Tool condition and associated actions should be followed.
The battery pack should be connected to a battery charger when not in use. When the
battery pack is full, the battery charger automatically switches on and off at regular
intervals to keep the battery level at 100%.
After every use the following should be checked:
• Battery pack for damage and function. If damaged, it should be replaced.
• The operation of the unit.
• For unit damage and fluid leaks.
• Ensure that the Deadman’s (control) handle returns to the neutral
position.

• Check the entire tool for damage or missing parts.
PROCESS
Changing the battery pack – all tools:
• Switch the tool off.
• To remove the battery (See Figure 1).
(Figure 1)
To Install the Battery (See Figure 2):
(Figure 2)
Powering on the tool – all tools:
• Depress power button until LED lights illuminate.
Note: If unused for 10 minutes, the tool must be powered on
again.

Operating the tool – all tools:
• To open the tool, twist the Deadman’s handle clockwise to extend/open.
When the handle is released, it returns to a neutral position and the
operation stops. To close the tool, reverse the process.
• The tool has two stages that are actuated by the Deadman’s handle.
The speed of the tool may be changed based on the position of the
handle. In the initial movement of the Deadman’s handle, the motor
operates slowly. When the handle is rotated further, the tool operates
at maximum speed.
• Once the tool reaches its maximum force, an audible indicator should
sound.
Water operations – all tools:
• The tool is capable of operating under water at a depth of up to 3 feet
for up to one hour.
• The tool may go into safe mode while operating under water; the tool
may operate slowly. The tool Deadman’s handle may become
ineffective and require the operator to stop the tool using the on/off
power button.
Replacing the CR2 battery for the Ram tool LED laser:
• When the laser pointer does not operate when the switch is pushed,
replace the battery for the laser pointer.
o Remove the screw (B).
o Remove the grip head.
o Replace the battery in the battery holder (A).

• To remove; push the knob of the cam (A) to remove the accessory from
the ram.
(Figure 4)
Using the Mains Power Connector to connect to an external power source – all tools:
• Attach mains power connector battery pack fitting/adapter until the
battery pack lock snaps tight.
• Insert the plug of the mains connector into the appropriate power outlet.

The battery pack has a LED indicator that indicates the approximate state of charge
of the battery.
Note: The state of health of the battery pack is displayed on the
charger.
Each LED accounts for approximately 20% of the full charge.
When all LEDs are red and flashing:
1. Push the on/off switch to stop the battery.
2. Push the on/off switch to start the battery.
3. Charge the battery 24 hours.
4. If this condition stays, contact a Holmatro Certified Technician.
ON/OFF Switch:
Push this button to start the tool. Push this button again to stop the tool. The
motor of the tool is energized when the Deadman’s handle is operated.
When the tool is started, the LEDs of the carrying handle come on by default.

support has three push-off points and can be used in combination with
every ram. The push-off points are recognizable as bars on which the
grip head can be placed.

Extension Pipe:
• An extension pipe makes it possible to spread along a larger distance.
The extension pipe can only be attached to the fixed side of the ram.
Only one extension pipe can be used for ram PTR50. The maximum
spreading force is reduced automatically by 35% to prevent buckling.
Grip Head with Laser – Ram tool:
• A grip head with laser allows to highlight the area where the grip head
may contact the vehicle. A grip head with laser can only be placed on
the plunger side of the tool. Do not look into the laser beam.
