  2. Facts About SMC Manufactures Technical Rescue & Mountaineering Hardware Founded in 1967 in Seattle, WA Moved to Ferndale, WA in 2001 ISO 9000-2008 Certified Proudly Manufacture 100% of all SMC Hardware in the USA Member of the UIAA, Outdoor Association, NFPA, NASAR

  3. Warning • This is a product overview and is not considered as Training. • System strength is dependent on the soil composition, conditions, and Rescue StayK placement. • Soil conditions vary widely and it is the users responsibility to know and understand how these conditions will affect the suitability of their System. • Proper Training and Practice is Required to use this product.

  5. SMC Rescue STAYK® Load Equalizing Rescue Anchor System The ever growing demand for the SMC Rescue StayK®(picket system) from all divisions of the Emergency Response Industry, Fire Departments, Rope Rescue, Swift Water Rescue, etc., is due to the fact that all other picket systems are viewed as primitive at best. The SMC Rescue StayK®system is versatile, accommodating, and by far the most effective, efficient, and reliable system available today that renders all other systems obsolete.

  15. What makes THE SMC Rescue StayK® such a reliable system? • The SMC Rescue StayK® System’s ability to self-equalize and distribute the rescue load equally throughout the system allows for maximum holding strength. • Once installed the SMC Rescue StayK® System can be divided into multiple safety systems. • The anchor rod size allows minimum natural soil disturbance for increased holding power. • Installed anchor rod surface area provides an increased level of the coefficient of friction for strength

  16. What makes THE SMC Rescue StayK® such a reliable system? • Installing the anchor rods at a 20° angle away from the rescue load provide a maximum holding force if shifted. • Anchor rod shifting will compact the soil to result in the maximum holding force against the rescue load. • The SMC Rescue StayK® System design allows easy attachment of additional holding support if needed.

  17. Configuring a Load Equalizing System With the SMC Rescue StayK.

  18. 5 8 9 6 11 Applied Rescue Force 7 10 4 System Adjustment 12 1 2 3 INSTRUCTIONS The following step-by-step instructions will unfold how simple the system is to set up, how the self-equalizing is achieved, and the system can be maintained and adjusted as the rescue proceeds.

  19. 1. Drive each of the three anchor rods in the soil at a 20° angle away from the intended rescue load until the lower washer is flush with the ground. Applied Rescue Force Ground/Terrain 2. Drop a figure eight on a bite over the closest anchor rod so that it rests on the ground around the bottom Rotation Sleeve. Applied Rescue Force 1. INSTRUCTIONS

  20. 4. Continue the rope 1/2 turn clockwise around the 3rd anchor’s Rotation Sleeve (3) and then wrap the rope counter-clockwise one full turn around the 2nd anchor rod upper Rotation Sleeve (4). Feed the rope through a 2" PMP and attach the pulley to the 1st anchor rod’s upper Rotation Block U-Bolt (5) with the rope coming out of the pulley from the top as shown. 5 Applied Rescue Force 4 2 3 1 3. Wrap the rope clockwise at ground level one full turn around the bottom 2nd and 3rd anchor rod rotation sleeve. Applied Rescue Force 1. 2. 3. INSTRUCTIONS cont.

  21. 5. Wrap the rope proceeding out of the top of the pulley from anchor one (5) again counter-clockwise (as you look back from anchor #1) around the 2nd anchor rod’s upper Rotation Sleeve one full turn (6). Triple wrap a Prusik cord around the rope and let it hang. Continue by feeding the rope through a 2" PMP and attach the pulley and the Prusik Cord to the 3rd anchor lower Rotation Block u-bolt (7) with the rope coming out of the pulley from the top as shown. 5 6 7 Applied Rescue Force 4 1 2 3 INSTRUCTIONS cont.

  22. 6. Feed the rope coming out of the top of the pulley from the 3rd anchor lower Rotation Block (7) through a 2" PMP. Attach the pulley to the 2nd anchor upper Rotation Block (8) u-bolt with the rope coming upwards out of the top of the pulley. Feed the rope coming out of the top of the pulley (8) through a SMC Grip. Attach the SMC Grip to the 3rd anchor upper Rotation Block u-bolt (9). (Note: Remember that the arrow on the SMC Grip must face/point towards the LOAD, which is coming from the 2nd anchor). 8 9 6 11 5 Applied Rescue Force 10 4 7 3 1 2 INSTRUCTIONS cont.

  23. 7. Equalize the system by pulling the rope through the SMC Grip (9). As you pull the rope (10) through the SMC Grip, the rotation Sleeves and Pulleys will rotate and self-equalize the entire system. A team member may feed slack and make minor rope adjustments if needed. Once the system equalization is achieved, The SMC Rescue STAYK® can be secured into three separate Safety Zones by Triple Wrapping a Prusik (12) to the section of rope between the 2nd anchor upper Rotation Sleeve and the 3rd anchor lower Rotation Sleeve and then securing it to the 2nd anchor lower Rotation Block u-bolt. Adjust and tighten the second Triple Wrapped Prusik (11) for safety. The SMC Grip makes zone three. 8 9 6 11 5 Applied Rescue Force 7 4 12 1 2 3 INSTRUCTIONS cont. While the SMC Rescue STAYK is designed primarily to be rigged as a load equalizing system, the engineered stakes with two pivoting anchor points can rigged in a variety of configurations adding to this systems usefulness in your rescue gear cache.
