When not in use the Ram Bars are stowed on the exterior brackets located on the driver side of the vehicle. e
side mounted carry brackets have slide pins with hitch pins and safety lanyards to secure the assembly during
transport. e push plate is secured in the hydraulic receiver at the front of the truck for transport.
e following procedure should be used as a basis for any standard breaching operation that utilizes the Ram Bar
System. Once the Ram Bar System has been deployed and is in place in the front receiver with slide pins engaged,
proceed to the object to be breached, ease up to the object and apply pressure with the front plate. With pressure
applied on the ram plate, drive forward with the vehicle keeping steady pressure until the breach is complete.
When backing out always keep the vehicle as straight as possible to avoid “Hooking” the front plate.
Warning: Failure to follow basic breaching procedures can result in equipment damage and or injury to
personnel.
ere is an optional Gas Injection Unit (GIU) and Ram Cam available as add-ons for the Ram Bar System.
