3.0 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
AMKUS manufactures a complete line of ION battery powered electro-hydraulic rescue tools. These rescue tools continue the AMKUS
tradition of superior craftsmanship and quality. AMKUS backs these tools with a standard warranty published on the AMKUS website.
The AMKUS ION tool's self-contained hydraulic system provides the motive forces needed to operate the tool. The brushless direct
current (DC) motor operates from energy stored in a 60 Volt battery. The DC motor drives a high pressure pump. Hydraulic fluid from the
pump passes through a user operated control valve and moves the piston as directed by the user. Moving the piston actuates the arms
or blades of the rescue tool.
