Operating and Maintenance Instructions

Introduction

This manual will prepare site personnel to operate the X-10SW
Handheld Sprayer. An orientation and training video can be used in
conjunction with this manual. If you feel that additional instruction or
procedures are necessary, please contact the factory regarding a training
class.

The X-10SW provides the ability to utilize the X-10C chemical cylinder
with a handheld sprayer. The X-10SW sprayer has a pressure washer gun­grip handle with replaceable nozzle spray tip. The gun grip handle is
furnished with a one-piece high pressure hose and fittings to match the
X-10C chemical cylinder. High pressure swivel fittings allow easy wand
movement and either right- or left-hand operation. All X-10C safety
features are retained. There is only one releasable connector that attaches
to the X-10C chemical cylinder. The X-10SW includes a safety chain to
retain the high pressure hose should the connector become disconnected
under pressure. The X-10C chemical cylinder can be conveniently carried
in a washable backpack carrier. The X-10C is easily removed from the
carrier for refilling.

Operating and Maintenance Instructions

Warnings

The X-10SW Hand Held Sprayer must not be used by any officer
until that officer has received training in X-10SW operation and
the officer has also test fired the X-10SW.

IMPORTANT - The X-10SW is a high pressure gas less-lethal
weapon. Careful handling and proper training is required. The X­10SW high pressure hose contains Oleoresin Capsicum (pepper
spray) under high pressure when the X-10C valve is opened. The
pressure MUST BE RELEASED BEFORE the hose is discon­nected. When the X-10SW hose is disconnected from the X-10C
chemical cylinder, be careful that no pepper spray chemical
residue drips from the high pressure hose connector.

Operating and Maintenance Instructions

Connection to X-10C Chemical
Cylinder

Verify that the X-10C chemical cylinder valve is closed before
attempting to attach the X-10SW hose. Carefully attach the X­10SW hose and verify that the connector is properly seated.
Attach the X-10SW safety chain to the hole in the X-10C pres­sure gauge shroud. Verify that the safety on the spray wand pistol
grip has been set before proceeding. DO NOT open the X-10C
chemical cylinder valve until you are preparing to use the X­10SW sprayer. Pressurize the sprayer by carefully opening the X­10C chemical cylinder valve while observing the built-in pressure
gauge. CAUTION: ALWAYS point the X-10SW/X-10C connec-
tor away from you and in a safe direction before opening the X­10C valve. The X-10C at full pressure should be between 550 psi
and 700 psi. An X-10C bottle used with the X-10SW handheld
sprayer with 250 psi showing on the gauge can still have up to
five remaining shots before refilling.

Preoperational Use

1. Try to talk inmate out of the cell.

2. Evaluate the barricade and the attitude of the inmate.

3. Decide the best location for probe insertion.

4. Assemble officers who will operate X-10SW. Position each

for best results depending on the amount of room available
on the floor or tier.

5. Inform inmate that you will be using the X-10SW and
allow the inmate to come out voluntarily.

Operation of X-10SW Handheld
Sprayer

The X-10SW must be used in strict conformation with the
Department Operational Procedures.

1. Place the X-10C chemical cylinder in the fabric carrier.

2. Fasten the Velcro flap and hose straps so the bottle
cannot slip out of the fabric carrier.

3. Place the carrier on your back in the same manner that
you would any backpack.

4. Fasten the chest strap and arrange the hose for either
right-hand or left-hand operation as desired.

Operating and Maintenance Instructions

5. Verify that the spray wand pistol grip safety lever is in the
safe position before proceeding. Examine the spray wand
tip to be sure that it is properly seated in the quick release
connector. If not properly seated, the tip can be shot off
the pistol grip with the first chemical shot.

6. If you are using a “Salinas” or wide-angle fog tip, verify
that the tip is properly oriented to provide the desired
spray pattern.

NOTE: The spray tips can rotate during repeated use or close
contact, so check tip orientation before each use.

After Using or When Refilling the X­10SW with X-10C chemical cylinder
Attached

After using the X-10SW, immediately close the X-10C chemical
cylinder valve to stop further chemical flow to the wand. After
closing the X-10C valve, the handheld wand must be sprayed in a

safe direction to release the remaining hose pressure. The pepper
spray residue in the hose may drip if not contained.

Whenever refilling the X-10C chemical cylinder, be sure to
follow the procedures contained in the X-10OC Extension
Device, Operating and Filling Instructions.

IMPORTANT - The X-10SW is a high pressure gas less-lethal
weapon. Careful handling and proper training is required. The X­10SW high pressure hose contains Oleoresin Capsicum (pepper
spray) under high pressure when the X-10C valve is opened. The
pressure MUST BE RELEASED BEFORE the hose is discon­nected. When the X-10SW hose is disconnected from the X-10C
Chemical Cylinder, be careful that no pepper spray chemical
residue drips from the high pressure hose connector.
