Safety Bulletin - Emergency Hammer

It has come to our attention that in one case an attempt to escape through the emergency exit (rear window) on a SmartROC T40 using the emergency hammer failed. The failure occurred because it may be difficult to break the window unless the correct technique is used. The tip of the hammer should strike the window at a PERPENDICULAR (90 degrees) angle. Therefore, Epiroc is issuing this safety letter to inform our customers that the safety manuals have been updated and a new instruction sticker shall be attached to the rear window.

While no severe injuries have been reported in relation to this issue, your prompt attention to this notice is required and appreciated to prevent any potential issues.
