WARNINGS

AQUATECH WATER JETTING MACHINES


Aquatech water jetting machines are designed to clean sewer pipe, both sanitary and storm, in an
underground environment. These systems operate under high pressure conditions with consider-
able water flow. Therefore, operators of these systems must be aware of possible hazards. This is
not a complete list of all possible hazards, but represents typical hazards and types of hazards. At all
times, the operator is responsible for the proper use of the machine.

Operators of Aquatech water jetting machines should be aware of the following


safety warnings:
• Using this machine for purposes other than cleaning sewer pipe is not recommended.
• Always wear required personal protective equipment.
• Water hose that is damaged into the braided lining must be repaired or replaced.
• Fittings used on sewer hose must be of a type and installed in a manner that is approved by
the hose manufacturer. Only use hose inside of sewer pipe, never use as wash down hose.
• A handgun accessory is provided for the operator’s use when cleaning external areas of the
sewer system. The handgun is designed to shut off automatically when the actuator handle is
released. Never use a forward jet nozzle that will not turn off when released.
• Never operate the water system with the relief valves removed, or improperly adjusted. The
main relief valve is set at 2,100 psi. The handgun relief valve is set at 800 psi. Do not operate at
pressure readings higher than these unless the manual specifically states that the system has
been designed for higher pressures.
• Never walk under raised components such as hydraulically actuated tanks, doors, etc.
Whenever these components are raised, props must be used to protect workers who must
work under them.
• Never operate the machine in a stationary position without first setting the brakes, and shifting
the rear axle out of the drive line. Always use wheel chocks.
• Never move the vehicle with the boom in a raised or otherwise unsecured position.
• Always turn off unit power when moving the vehicle.

YOUR LIFE COULD DEPEND ON IT!!!

AQUATECH OPERATIONS, SERVICE AND PARTS MANUAL

WARNINGS
HIGH PRESSURE SEWER CLEANING HOSE
High pressure sewer hose is constructed from three separate layers of specially developed materials to ensure
greatest strength to the hose, and greatest safety to the operator. In order to guarantee this safety it is very
important to keep a close watch on the condition of the hose whenever it is being used.

The central core of the hose is constructed of a material called “polyolefin”. This seamless layer of the hose
provides approximately 30% of the total hose strength.

Inner Layer Outer Jacket

Middle Layer

Bonded to the inner core is a band of high tensile polyester braid. This braid provides approximately 45% of the
total hose strength.

The outer jacket of the hose, bonded to the polyester braid, is an abrasion resistant polyetherurethane material.
It is designed to become very slippery when wet and provide as frictionless a surface as possible when travelling
through the pipeline. This outer jacket provides the final 25% of the total hose strength.

The maximum burst rating of a hose is approximately 2.5 times its rated working pressure. That is, a hose rated
for 2000 psi has a maximum burst rating of about 5000 psi.

If the outer jacket is torn or abraded to the point where the braided band is exposed, there has been a 25% loss
of the maximum burst rating, or 1250 psi. Although this is a serious loss from the maximum strength of the hose,
there is enough “cushion” in the design to compensate.

However, if both the outer jacket and the inner braid have become badly damaged, then 65% of the hose strength
has been lost, or about 3250 psi. Under ideal conditions, this leaves only 1750 psi as the burst rating of the hose
now.

Clearly, as an operator using this hose, or a technician repairing the


machine, your safety depends on safe hose. Always inspect the hose
every time you use it. If it becomes badly abraded, repair it or replace
it.

If you must install new hose fittings, use only those specified by the
manufacturer for the hose supplied. Fittings have a color-coded band to
identify the hose they may be used with. Never use an incorrect fitting,
or a hydraulic hose fitting “off the shelf”.

Proper swaging, the squeezing process which attaches a new fitting to


the end of the hose, is very important. All tooling, including dies, must be
inspected regularly to assure the correct swage has been made.

Caution: We do not recommend splicing or repair of ruptured hose. We recommend replacement only. If hose
is spliced or repaired, we recommend you contact the hose manufacturer for proper instructions and correct
compatible splicing tools and mendors.

AQUATECH OPERATIONS, SERVICE AND PARTS MANUAL


VIII
PRINCIPLES OF
OPERATION
POSITIVE DISPLACEMENT EXHAUSTER AND WATER PUMP UNITS

This machine is a combination vacuum and high pressure water jetting unit for cleaning sewer
drains or catch basins. It also performs other cleaning operations.
The vacuum generator is a rotary lobe, positive displacement exhauster. During operation of the
vacuum system, material is picked up at the end of the suction line and pneumatically conveyed
through the intake tubes, the boom hose, and through the boom intake valve, to the debris tank.
As the material enters the larger area of the debris tank the velocity of the air flow is reduced
and the material drops out of the air stream, settling at the bottom of the tank. The spent air flows
through the ball check valve, and through a metal screen in the centrifugal scrubber
externally located at the front of the body. At this point the filtered air flow enters the exhauster
and is expelled through a silencer/muffler to the atmosphere.
A positive displacement triplex plunger water pump provides the water pressure and water flow to
the cleaning nozzle which propels itself through the sewer line. When retrieving the nozzle under
water pressure, material that has built up in the sewer line is blasted loose and back flushed to the
manhole for removal with the vacuum system.
In the water system the water flows from the two water tanks, mounted outboard of the debris
tank, through a crossover manifold, through the water pump feed line, through the suction strainer
into the suction side of the pump. The pressurized water is then pumped forward to the water
control valve and routed, depending on the position of the valve, either to the hose reel for
cleaning, or by return lines to the water tank. The vacuum and water system can be used
simultaneously when cleaning sewers. This allows conveyance of flushed out materials and water
into the debris tank.
This machine is also designed for cleaning catch basins, wet wells, and lift stations where the
vacuum operation picks up the material in the manhole while the water pump supplies water to
a lance (part no. 238080) for blasting loose packed debris and for wetting dry material. Grapple
tongs (part no. 234585) are used to remove long sticks and items that will not fit into the pickup
tube.
This machine may also be used for leaf pickups. Position the unit at the curb; rotate the boom
and extend it to reach all areas of the tree lawn and sidewalk. The boom is locked in place while
picking up leaves to provide maximum operator safety. To aid in the dumping process of compact
leaves, it is recommended that a couple hundred gallons of water be added to the bottom of the
debris tank prior to vacuuming. Unit must be equipped with the liquid ring option (part no. 380924).

AQUATECH OPERATIONS, SERVICE AND PARTS MANUAL


PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION 1
PRINCIPLES OF
OPERATION
CONTROLS and GAUGES

It is important for the operator to fully familiarize him/herself with the location, appearance and
function of the various controls and gauges on any new Aquatech sewer cleaning machine. Please
read this section carefully, and refer to it whenever any section of the manual describes a control which
you cannot identify.

DASHBOARD CONTROLS

Several controls are mounted in the chassis cab itself. These controls allow the operator to engage
and disengage the water pump, exhauster, and hydraulic system. In addition, a low water warning light
and switch are among the standard controls in the chassis cab. The water pump and exhauster are
engaged and disengaged by electro-pneumatic solenoid valves. These solenoids are operated by
electric toggle switches in the cab or at the rear operator’s station. Because each manufacturer
will have a different cab layout, even among models of the same manufacturer, our description of
their location is general.

LOW WATER WARNING AND COLD WEATHER CONDITIONS


The low water control is a switch located on the dashboard. On units equipped with the low water
warning system, a red light will glow in the switch in the event that the water level is depleted to
a pre-determined level. A white light remains on during normal operations. Pushing the switch up
turns on the “Winter” low water warning. Pushing the switch down turns on the “Summer” low
water warning.

HYDRAULICS
The main split shaft PTO incorporates an additional output for the installation of the hydraulic
pump to supply power to all hydraulic functions. This pump is closed coupled to the PTO. Its drive
is automatically engaged whenever the PTO switch is activated in order to disengage the main
drive to the differential of the vehicle. When the witch is positioned for drive mode, the hydraulic
pump drive is disengaged.

AQUATECH OPERATIONS, SERVICE AND PARTS MANUAL


PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION 2
PRINCIPLES OF
OPERATION
POWER DECK SYSTEMS ENGAGEMENT-SEQUENCE OF OPERATION

1. Start engine.

2. Set parking brake.

3. Place transmission in “Neutral” position.

4. Allow unit to build up with full air pressure.

Note: Because the main split-shaft PTO is actuated by means of electro-pneumatic solenoid
valves, there must be at least 90 psi in the air brake system. Check the air pressure
gauges on the dashboard to confirm this.

5. Turn “PTO Enable” switch to “On” postition.

Note: This switch supplies power to the chassis relays (i.e. 4th gear lock-up, e-stop, and remote
throttles)..

6. Turn “Unit Power” switch to “On” position.

Note: This switch supplies power to all the other switches and must be the first one turned on.
When turning unit off, this switch must be the last one turned off. A red light glows
inside the switch to indicate that the unit power is on.

7. Turn “PTO” switch to “On” position and wait for indicator light to illuminate.

Note: In order to keep the truck stationary while operating the water pump, exhauster or both,
the rear axle must be disengaged. This can be done by turning the “PTO” switch to “On”
position. This will cause the split shaft PTO to internally shift positions and disengage the
rear drive train of the vehicle.

8. Place transmission into correct gear.

Caution!! The pump systems should never be operated in a gear range greater than
indicated on either the dashboard label or the rear operator’s panel. Failure to heed
this caution may result in severe damage to the water pump or exhauster. Please
consult with the factory if the vehicle gear range is not specified.

9. You are now ready to engage the water pump and/or exhauster.

Note: To engage the water pump, turn the “Water Pump” switch to “On” position and wait for
indicator light to illuminate. The same procedure is used for the exhauster by turning the
“Exhauster” switch to “On” position and wait for indicator light to illuminate. Both power
systems can be run simultaneously if desired. To disengage either the water pump or
exhauster move the switch to the opposite position. The water pump and exhauster can be
engaged from the cab or rear operator’s control panel.

10. To disengage PTO, place transmission in “Neutral” position. Turn “PTO” switch to “Off”
position and wait for indicator light to turn off. Turn “Unit Power” switch to “Off” position and then
turn “PTO Enable” switch to “Off” postition. PTO should now successfully be disengaged.

AQUATECH OPERATIONS, SERVICE AND PARTS MANUAL


PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION 3
PRINCIPLES OF
OPERATION

PENDANT CONTROL
Customarily the pendant control is located and stored in a basket on the
passensger side of the vehicle. On most units the pendant control is a
yellow rectangular box with black push buttons. The pendant control is
wired into a unit control box on the passenger side of the vehicle. The
multi-wire cable is long enough to allow the operator to carry the pendant
to the work area. This connection allows the operator to disconnect the
pendant control from the unit control box and store the pendant control FLAPPER CLOSED LIGHT
in the cab or tool box when not in use. The pendant operates the boom.
It lowers and raises the boom, it telescopes the boom in and out, rotates FLAPPER CLOSE
the boom right and left, and energizes the boom valve. Each function
is controlled by a push button control. Pressing a button carries out a BOOM UP/DOWN
function, releasing a button stops a function. The actuation of the boom
is hydraulic, although the pendant performs electrical functions. Each BOOM IN/OUT
button makes an electrical solenoid operate a hydraulic valve. Therefore,
the main power switch and the hydraulic system/PTO must be turned BOOM LEFT/RIGHT
on when operating the boom. When transporting the unit, the pendant
should be stored in the basket, tool box or cab. Because the control is
rugged and can withstand some abuse, if dropped repeatedly, or run over
by the unit, the case will become cracked or crushed. This may cause
some or all of the functions of the pendant control to cease operation
and allow water to leak inside. Each operator should spend as much
time as necessary to become completely comfortable with each Func-
tion of the pendant control so that the operation of the boom becomes
almost natural.

SIDE OPERATOR’S STATION


There is also an operator’s station at the passenger side of the unit to
allow the operator to control the tank dumping system. It is at this
operator’s station, as well, that the pendant control is connected.
There is also a unit control box with toggle switches. The box contains
a switch for: the throttle, flapper valve, boom functions, door lock/
unlock, door open/close and an emergency stop button. The throttle
control at this station allows the operator to control engine speed,
and therefore hydraulic pressure. Operate engine at 1500 rpm during
tank dumping and lock operating functions. Plastic labels at each
control indicate the correct manipulation of the switch for the func-
tion it performs. Consult the labeling to be sure you are operating the
controls correctly. If the labels become unreadable or are inadvertently
removed, consult the illustration for switch operation. The hydraulic
tank is also at the side operator’s station. A sight glass near the top
of the tank indicates the correct oil level. The oil level must be above
80 on the sight eye scale. It also contains a thermometer to measure
hydraulic oil temperature. Oil temperature should not exceed 180
degrees.

AQUATECH OPERATIONS, SERVICE AND PARTS MANUAL


PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION 4
PRINCIPLES OF
OPERATION
PENDANT CONTROL
The pendant operates the boom, flapper, and vacuum breaker.
Each boom function is controlled by a push button. Pressing a
button initiates a function and releasing a button stops a function.
It lowers and raises the boom, it telescopes the boom in and out,
and rotates the boom right and left. The boom actuations are
hydraulic, although the pendant performs electrical functions.
These functions are controlled by electric solenoids which operate
hydraulic valves. The main power switch and the hydraulic system FLAPPER CLOSED LIGHT
PTO must be turned on when operating the boom. The vacuum
FLAPPER CLOSE
breaker is controlled by rotary switches.Turning a switch in one
direction turns a function on and turning a switch in the other
direction turns a function off. The function of the vacuum breaker
is controled by an electric solenoid which operates a pneumatic BOOM UP/DOWN
cylinder. This cylinder opens and closes a butterfly valve. The
main power switch must be turned on when operating the vacuum BOOM IN/OUT
breaker. When transporting the unit, the pendant should be stored
BOOM LEFT/RIGHT
in the tool compartment or cab. Because the control is rugged
and can withstand some abuse, if dropped repeatedly, or run over VACUUM BREAKER
by the unit, the case will become cracked or crushed. This may OPEN/CLOSE
cause some or all of the functions of the pendant control to cease
operation and allow water to leak inside. Each operator should
spend as much time as necessary to become completely

operation of the boom becomes almost natural.

SIDE OPERATOR’S STATION


There is also an operator’s station at the passenger side of the
unit to allow the operator to control the tank dumping system. It is
at this operator’s station, as well, that the pendant control is
connected. There is also a unit control box with toggle switches.
The box contains a switch for: the throttle, flapper valve, boom
functions, door lock/unlock, door open/close, vacuum breaker,
and an emergency stop button. The throttle control at this station
allows the operator to control engine speed, and therefore
hydraulic pressure. Operate engine at 1500 rpm during tank
dumping and lock operating functions. Plastic labels at each
control indicate the correct manipulation of the switch for the
function it performs. Consult the labeling to be sure you are
operating the controls correctly. If the labels become unreadable
or are inadvertently removed, consult the illustration for switch
operation. The hydraulic tank is also at the side operator’s
station. A sight glass near the top of the tank indicates the correct
oil level. The oil level must be above 80 on the sight eye scale. It
also contains a thermometer to measure hydraulic oil
temperature. Oil temperature should not exceed 180 degrees.

OPERATION
PENDANT CONTROL
The pendant operates the boom, flapper, and vacuum breaker.
Each boom function is controlled by a push button. Pressing a
button initiates a function and releasing a button stops a function.
It lowers and raises the boom, it telescopes the boom in and out,
and rotates the boom right and left. The boom actuations are
hydraulic, although the pendant performs electrical functions.
These functions are controlled by electric solenoids which operate
hydraulic valves. The main power switch and the hydraulic system EMERGENCY STOP
PTO must be turned on when operating the boom.
The vacuum breaker is controlled by rotary switches.Turning a FLAPPER CLOSED LIGHT
switch in one direction turns a function on and turning a switch in
the other direction turns a function off. The function of the vacuum FLAPPER CLOSE
breaker is controled by an electric solenoid which operates a
pneumatic cylinder. This cylinder opens and closes a butterfly
valve. The main power switch must be turned on when operat- BOOM UP/DOWN
ing the vacuum breaker. When transporting the unit, the pendant
should be stored in the tool compartment or cab. Because the BOOM IN/OUT
control is rugged and can withstand some abuse, if dropped
repeatedly, or run over by the unit, the case will become cracked BOOM LEFT/RIGHT
or crushed. This may cause some or all of the functions of the
pendant control to cease operation and allow water to leak inside
Each operator should spend as much time as necessary to
become completely comfortable with each function of the pendant
control so that the operation of the boom becomes almost natural.

AIR PURGE PUMP PRIME
Air can be purged from the pump suction by opening Valve #1. There should be sufficient head
pressure from the water in the water tanks to expell any air trapped on the suction side of the
pump. Close Valve #1 when a solid water stream runs from the Overflow Tube. Any trapped air
acts as a spring cushion for the compressed water and causes the water to “bounce back” against
the cushion of air. This can cause a loud knocking noise from the pump area and severe pulsat-
ing of the sewer hose. This is called “cavitation”. If the air is not expelled, severe damage can
occur in the pump. Open the valve to allow air trapped inside the pump to be expelled. Water will
also be expelled at the same time. Run the pump at an idle speed for several minutes until all air
is expelled, then slowly increase pump speed. As the pump develops greater pressure, the water
discharged from the valve will become very intense. When it is clear that all air has been expelled,
close the ball valve and increase pump speed. The knocking sound should disappear, and the
pulsating of the hose will be very mild. This is normal for a triplex water pump. At this point it is
safe to operate the jetting, hydro or handgun operation. This procedure is usually only necessary
when all water has been previously purged from the system, the suction line strainer has been
removed for cleaning, or the pump has been run out of water.

Note: If you have constant problems with cavitation, it is likely that air is being sucked into the
pump somehow, or one or more valve springs have broken. If you experience repeated cavitation,
even though the pump has not been run out of water, you should request an inspection of the water
system to determine the cause.

The Schrader Air Valve, located on the suction side (bottom right) of the water pump, is used to
purge the pump and water piping of any trapped water and return it to the water tanks. By
connecting an air supply to the Schrader Air Valve, air is then introduced at the valve and water
is blown back to tank.

UNLOADER VALVE OPTION

The purpose of the Unloader Valve is to acheive an optimum pressure and flow of water to the
handgun zozzle.

The Unloader “On-Off” Valve provides control of the water system flow. The function of this
valve is to direct the water flow to the hose reel (in the “On” position), or back to the water tanks
(in the “Off” position).

The Regulator controls the amount of air pressure directed to the Unloader Valve. Depending on
the type of nozzle being used, it may be necessary to adjust the Regulator to acheive your

WASTE WATER RECYCLING SYSTEM OPTION

waste water recycling system (OPERATION instructions)


Description:
The Waste Water Recycling System recirculates water in the debris tank back into the poly tanks. The recycling
system is turned on by an hydraulic lever that is located below the hydraulic motor of the Pump Off System. When
water sources are low the Waste Water Recycling System takes water from the debris tank and recirculates the
water into the poly tanks for reuse.
Operation:
To run the Waste Water Recycling System the unit power, PTO enable, and PTO switch must be on. The
transmission must also be in gear. The hydraulic pump supplies power to the Pump Off System and the Waste
Water Recycling System. Turn on the Waste Water Recycling System by pushing the hydraulic lever (located
below the hydraulic motor of the Pump Off System) toward the vehicle’s chassis. To turn the system off pull the
hydraulic lever away from the vehicle’s chassis.
Attached to the top of the Pump Off System are two 2" gate valves. One valve controls water flow into the Waste
Water Recycling System. The other valve controls water flow from the Pump Off System to the outside of the unit.
The top valve allows water flow to enter from the debris tank through the pump off and into the separator, poly
tanks, and strainer. The lower valve allows water flow to exit the pump off system. The lower valve may have a
3" lay flat discharge hose attached to it for dispersing the water.
When operating the Waste Water Recycling System open the top 2" gate valve. This opens the flow of water
into the separator assembly. Close the lower 2" gate valve. Closing the lower valve restricts water flow and helps
direct the flow of water into the separator assembly. With the top valve open, the flow of water can recirculate.
Water enters the separator and strainer and empties into the side poly tanks.
Debris carried by water leaving the debris tank and entering into the poly tank is retained in the Recycling
Separator and Strainer. The strainer keeps large matter from entering into the poly tanks.
Flushing the Water Recirculation System:
Clean the separator and strainer assembly periodically. This will prevent clogging and keep the system clear of
unwanted debris. To clear the system run the vacuum and close the boom (flapper) valve. This will build a vacuum
inside the tank. When the flapper valve is closed, open the 2-1/2" gate valve below the strainer cap assembly for
a few seconds. This will flush the line and clear the system of debris.

VACUUM BREAKER OPTION

The Vacuum Breaker System system utilizes the stored air on the truck chassis to control an air
actuated butterfly valve located on the strainer. The butterfly valve opens when the amount of
vacuum in the system needs to be reduced.

The vacuum breaker can be controlled from a switch on the Rear Opreator’s Panel, a switch on
the Side Operator’s Panel, and a rotary switch on the Remote Pendant.

Once the vacuum breaker is opened at one location, it must then be closed by the same switch.
Example: If the vacuum breaker is opened using the rotary switch on the Remote Pendant, it can
only be closed using the same switch on the Remote Pendant.

There is a light on the Rear Opreator’s Panel and on the Side Operator’s Panel to indicate the
vacuum breaker has been opened. There is no light indication on the Remote Pendant.

When the valve is placed in the “Up” or “On” position, the water flow is sent to the spray
nozzles located inside the Boom Turret. This option is to be used when vacuuming dry
or very light material. The water from the spray nozzles add moisture to the material,
allowing it to fall down into the Debris Tank. Performing this action helps prevent the
material from continuing through the process and creating a potential hazzard to the
vacuum pump.

Caution! Although the water pump may be run for a short time without water, prolonged operation of the water
pump without water will cause overheating and damage to the packings and other internal components of the water
pump. Refer to the pump manufacturer’s section included in this manual for further information.

THE REAR OPERATOR’S STATION


There are actually two operator’s stations, depending on the function being
performed. For operating the jetting and vacuum functions of the machine,
the operator will use the rear operator’s station, located on the hose reel
frame at the rear of the unit. The operator’s station is equipped with an
electronic throttle switch to control the engine speed, a tachometer to view
the engine’s speed, a water pressure gauge to view the water pressure in
the jetting system, and a vacuum gauge to view the performance of the
vacuum system and switches to turn water pump and blower on and off.
There may also be a water warning light on the rear station control panel.
The two buttons on the lower part of the panel control the articulation of the
hose reel assembly. It is possible to articulate this hose reel 180º around
to the side of the machine so that the hose reel and operator’s station is all
the way to the passenger side of the machine. This allows the operator to
be completely away from the flow of traffic if practical. It also allows direct
access to manholes which are located on the tree lawn or sidewalk, while
the truck can be parked along the curb-side. One button will cause the hose
reel assembly to articulate out away from the tank door, and the other will
bring the hose reel assembly back to rest on the door stop pad.
Caution! Always move the hose reel away from the door stop pad whenever
the hose reel will be operated. Failure to do so may cause the door stop pad to
be torn away from the reel
There is also a toggle switch which controls the engine speed. Pushing up
the switch increases the engine speed, while pushing it down decreases
the engine speed.

THE REAR REEL CONTROLS


In addition to the controls at the rear operator’s station, several valves and
controls are also mounted directly to the rear reel assembly at the back of
the machine. This is where most of the work is done. When work is done
at the side of the machine, all the controls and the operator’s station come
with the reel as it articulates. Among the controls at the rear reel is the
water valve handle to turn water on at the hose reel. Plastic labels indicate
which position turns water on to the hose reel and which returns water to
the water tanks. When in the hose reel position, the water flow is directed
to the hose reel and through the water hose. Be sure the hose is fitted with
a proper nozzle and in a working position before turning the valve to the
hose reel position.When in the tank return position, water flows through
the control valve and returns to the water tanks. This is the normal position
for the valve whenever the machine is not being used for jetting.

AQUATECH OPERATIONS, SERVICE AND PARTS MANUAL


PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION 43
PRINCIPLES OF
OPERATION

THE REEL SPEED CONTROLS


Allows the operator to control the speed at which the reel turns, either paying hose out, or retrieving hose. Moving the
control lever clockwise will increase the reel speed, and moving it counter-clockwise will reduce the reel speed or effec-
tively stop all hydraulic functions.

THE FOOT PEDAL CONTROLS


The foot pedal controls for front or rear reels are carried on a hook mounted near the reel. The pedals control the direction
of rotation of the hose reel. One pedal pays hose out, the other retrieves. The pedals are actually pneumatic bulbs which
send air pressure to the control box also mounted near the reel. This control box sends an electrical signal to the hydraulic
valves which control the reel motor. (Refer to the Controls section of this manual for a parts listing) There is also a reel
rotation control switch in the control panel that can be used in lieu of the foot pedals.

THE HANDGUN AND HANDGUN “QUICK CONNECT”


The handgun connect is located on the rear water manifold. By slipping the hand gun hose quick connect coupler onto
the coupler on the water manifold, and turning the handgun valve to on, the handgun (PN 131632) will operate. There is
a relief valve installed directly above the quick coupler fitting to control the amount of pressure to the handgun. This is set
at the factory to 800 psi, a safe pressure at which to operate the handgun. The handgun will only operate when the reel
water control is in the tank return position. The spray pattern from the handgun is controlled by moving the hand grip on the
barrel end of the gun back and forth. The spray pattern can be very small and forceful, or fanned out for a wider spray pat-
tern. Never point the handgun at yourself or other personnel while in use. High water pressure may cause serious injury.

HOW TO USE YOUR SEWER CLEANER

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
1. Never enter a manhole that has stagnant water in it.
2. When entering a manhole, proceed as recommended in the APWA handbook on safety. Follow all state
and federal regulations.
3. Use only genuine Aquatech hose and repair parts.
4. Always use a hose guide in the manhole.
5. Always use a leader hose at the end of the sewer cleaning hose.
o
6. Use Cold Weather Recirculation in temperatures below 32 F.
7. Check hose and water network for weak, worn or leaking places. Repair or replace if necessary.
8. When inserting a nozzle in a sewer section full of water or in very large diameter pipes, use extreme
caution when applying pressure to the hose. Deflection is possible under these conditions and the nozzle
could turn around, come up and out of the line and manhole to inflict injury to persons nearby.
9. Never force nozzle or hose forward by pushing on it. It must move under its own water power.
10. Always use a steel nozzle guide or nozzle extension longer than the pipe diameter.
11. Check for overhead lines that could come in contact with the boom.
Before proceeding with the following instructions make certain that there is at least 90 psi of air pressure in the
chassis air reservoir or damage to the PTO may result.
BEFORE GOING TO WORK-SITE
1. Perform required maintenance as specified in the maintenance schedule.
2. Perform required maintenance on truck chassis as specified in truck chassis manual.
3. Check to see that the boom is secure in the boom rest and latched and the boom pendant control is
secure in its carrier, toolbox, or cab.
4. Check to assure that all tools are secured, and that all cabinet doors are closed and latched.
5. Secure the sewer hose in the traveling position by locking it into the swivel fitting provided.
6. Fill the water tanks. Please refer to one or more of the following water level indicators.
a. The sight tubes located on the rear of the water tanks shows the direct water level in all tanks.
b. Low water warning light in the cab indicates low water.

Water Jetting at the work-site


1. Position the unit at the manhole to be cleaned so that the sewer hose will feed off the reel directly into
the manhole. Set the parking brake and block the wheels.
2. Open the water pump gate valve completely.
3. Place the water control valve on the hose reel to the “TANK RETURN” position.
4. Turn the unit power switch to the “ON” position. Turn the PTO enable switch to the “ON” position.
5. Disengage the rear axle by shifting the main drive of the split shaft PTO. The transmission must be in
neutral. On units with standard transmissions it is also advisable to depress the clutch pedal to the floor
during this operation. The middle switch on the three switch gang mounted to the dashboard or the control
box will operate the main drive of the split shaft PTO.
6. Engage water pump. Refer to the “unit identification sheet” or “unit dashboard label” for the correct gear
range in which to operate your sewer cleaning machine. Select the correct gear range and proceed to
the operator’s station to operate the unit. Your Aquatech unit must never be run at speeds higher than
specified on the unit dashboard label and on the “unit identification sheet.” Running the engine at a higher
rpm may be unsafe and result in personal injury and damage. Upon such use, the warranty becomes
null and void. If you cannot locate this information, please call your selling dealer, or Hi-Vac Corporation
directly at (740) 374 -2306.
7. At the rear operator’s station, move throttle control switch up momentarily to increase engine speed,
down to decrease. The needle on the tachometer indicates the engine speed.

OPERATION
Water Jetting at the work-site (cont.)
Cold weather precautions: If the unit is subjected to freezing temperatures, ice will probably form in the sewer
hose and must be ejected for proper operation. Leave the sewer hose in its traveling position, the engine at
idle speed, and run water through the hose for at least one minute or until all ice is ejected. If pressure starts
to rise, the hose is plugged.

8. The reel is positioned at the manhole downstream from the stoppage or section to be cleaned. The
vehicle may face any direction. Check local traffic regulations and for all overhead lines.
9. Position the hose reel over the manhole. The reel articulates from its rest position against the rear
o
door in a 180 arc by depressing the button on the control panel marked “OUT”. Engine speed should
be about 1500 rpm to operate reel efficiently.
10. Install level wind assembly on its pivot pin directly under the reel.
11. Disconnect the end of the sewer hose from the travel/safety coupling and route through the level wind.
Note: always use a leader hose at the end of the sewer cleaning hose.
12. Insert hose through flexible hose guide, then hand tighten selected nozzle on the end of the hose.
Experience has shown that using the flexible hose guide with the rope end down works best.
13. With the nozzle inserted in the sewer pipe, turn on water pump and water control valve handle to the
“Hose Reel” position and slowly increase the engine speed until reaching the desired pressure. Select
proper pump operating pressure based on the following:
a. Diameter of pipe.
Generally, larger diameter pipes require higher pressure for more efficient cleaning.
b. Age, condition and type of pipe.
Caution must be exercised in using higher pressure in older pipes with mortar joints and pipes
showing deterioration.
c. Amount and type of debris to be removed.
During the initial cleaning program, higher pressures are desired to remove larger amounts of
debris. After the manhole has been cleaned once, it is usually not necessary to use full operating
pressure for preventative maintenance.
d. Operator experience.
Until the operator is fully experienced in the operation of the equipment, it is recommended that
the machine not be operated at maximum pressure.
e. Age of Sewer cleaning jet hose.
The age and condition of the sewer cleaner hose must always be considered in operating at high
working pressures.
14. With the water pressure and engine speed set, begin paying out the sewer hose by depressing the
Pneumatic foot control pedal marked “PAY OUT”.
15. The payout speed of the hose is controlled by the speed control knob. Adjust speed to keep enough
tension on the hose so it doesn’t become loose on the reel.
16. The “level wind” or hose guide is used to wind the hose on the reel evenly to ensure long hose life.
When retrieving the nozzle and winding the hose onto the reel, the debris will enter the manhole.
DO NOT ALLOW THE DEBRIS TO CONTINUE INTO THE NEXT SECTION.
17. After the nozzle has reached the desired point, depress the foot control pedal marked “RETRIEVE” and
begin retrieving the nozzle slowly, with the desired water flow and pressure, to flush the debris from the
sewer line into the manhole. Retrieve the hose at approximately 30% of full reel speed.
18. When the nozzle is 3 to 5 feet from the manhole, stop the reel and shut off the water supply to the nozzle.
To ensure clean out of the last 3 to 5 feet of sewer line, allow nozzle to discharge for a short period to
wash out any debris buildup in the line end. Wind the remaining hose onto the reel.
19. To clean the manhole area, connect the handgun quick disconnect and open the isolating 1/2” ball valve,
located at the rear of the hose reel.
Caution! Hose retrieving operations must be done while maintaining normal operating pressure in the water hose.
It is critical that the hose be rewound on the reel at its normal operating pressure. Failure to follow this procedure
may result in serious deformation of the hose reel when the hose is pressurized during the next cleaning operation.
Hose reels deformed during machine operation are not covered under warranty.

VACUUMING AT WORK-SITE
1. Be sure that the unit operator is completely familiar with the boom pendant controls. The boom
pendant includes controls for:
Extending, retracting, raising, and lowering the boom, as well as opening and closing the internal boom
valve. Please refer to the PENDANT CONTROL section in CONTROLS AND GAUGES for diagrams
and explanations if you are not completely familiar with these operations.
2. Place a sufficient number of intake and/or extension tubes on the boom hose to reach the desired
working depth.
3. To increase the exhauster speed, increase engine RPM to working speed, not to exceed maximum
RPM and gear as noted on the unit ID sheet and mounted in truck cab.
4. Begin vacuuming debris and water. The vacuum tube can be positioned by use of the boom up/down
control, and by physically moving the tube around inside the catch basin to reach all areas where
debris has collected.
5. When vacuuming, the intake tube may be positioned just above the water level in the manhole or
catch basin allowing a mixture of air, water, and debris to enter. When required, the unit is capable of
removing debris from below water level with the intake tube completely submerged. For lifting water
more than 17 ft. at sea level, the use of the optional fluidizer tube (Part # 240805) is recommended.
6. If during the vacuuming process, the debris tank becomes full, the ball check valve will close which is
indicated by loss of vacuum at the intake tube. The 3" relief valve will also “chatter and whistle.” When
the debris tank is full, follow the instruction for disengaging the exhauster PTO.
Caution! To avoid overloading of the truck chassis, the debris tank and the water tanks must never be
simultaneously loaded to full capacity. When traveling to the dump site with a fully loaded debris tank, a maximum
of 1/4 tank of fresh water should be carried. This is sufficient to wash down the debris tank.
Do not operate the unit for long periods of time when the debris tank is full. It is extremely important to always
remove as much water as possible from the debris tank before driving the vehicle. This will help eliminate
overloaded conditions.
7. Excess water may be removed from the debris tank by the following method. With the exhauster
pump disengaged, open the drain valve at the rear of the unit and allow the water to drain.

Note: Do not run the exhauster in reverse to pressurize the tank. This may damage the clutches
in the PTO.

LEAVING THE WORK-SITE


1. Return hose reel to its travel position against the stop on the rear door.
2. Before leaving the worksite for the dumpsite, ensure that the boom is in
its travel position.
3. Proceed to dumpsite.

DUMPING THE DEBRIS TANK


Caution! When dumping this vehicle, always seek firm, level terrain on which to
park the vehicle when setting up to dump. Never lift the tank when the unit is parked
on a grade, or when the underlying ground is soft or unstable. Failure to follow these
guidelines may result in a catastrophic accident in which the vehicle may tip over or
the tank may shear from its mounting supports.
Do not attempt to raise the tank until the door has been opened to allow the debris
to empty. Never drive this vehicle with the tank raised or the tank door opened.
1. Position the truck at the dump site, set the parking brake, and block the
wheels. BE SURE THE AREA ABOVE THE VEHICLE, IS FREE OF
ELECTRICAL LINES OR ANY OTHER OBSTRUCTIONS !
2. Procedure for opening the rear door and raising the tank:
Note: Refer to truck labeling regarding maximum operating speed for opening
the rear door.
a. Master power switch in the “On” position and PTO enable switch in the
“On” position.
b. Engage the hydraulic system. Disengage the drive axles by placing the
PTO switch in the “On” position.
c. Unlatch boom and using the boom pendant control, extend the boom out
a few inches, and raise it to its highest point.
d. Push and hold the toggle switch marked LOCKS upward to unlock the
hydraulic door locks.
e. Raise the door with the toggle switch marked DOOR located on the side
control panel. Push the switch up and hold until the door is completely
open.
f. Push and hold the hydraulic lever marked TANK, to raise the debris tank
as needed to allow the debris to completely dump out of the tank.
g. After dumping is complete, lower the tank by pulling on the lever marked
TANK until the tank is completely down on the sub frame.
h. Close the door by pushing the toggle switch marked DOOR. Lock the
door by pushing the toggle switch marked LOCKS and holding until the

CLEANING THE DEBRIS TANK
** The internal tank flush can be retrofitted to an existing machine. Refer to the Service section of this manual for
ordering instructions.
The following method can be used to clean out the debris tank if unit is not equipped with optional Tank Flush
System: Connect the handgun to the quick disconnect or optional 1/2" hose reel. Engage the water pump. If your
unit is not equipped with the 1/2" hose reel, turn the water valve at the handgun quick disconnect to ON, allowing
the water to flow to the handgun. If your unit has the optional 1/2" hose reel, turn the valve located at the reel to the
ON position, increase the engine RPM with the throttle until the water pressure reaches 800 PSI on the pressure
gauge. Do not exceed this pressure setting when operating.

HELPFUL HINTS FOR USING YOUR AQUATECH CLEANER


WHERE TO START YOUR CLEANING PROGRAM
Cleaning operations should begin at the outer reaches of the network, proceed to trunk lines and then to
o
interceptors. Deposits must be removed by the crew as cleaning proceeds. The 15 nozzle is recommended
for optimum cleaning of the tile in sections where accumulations are light or pipe diameters do not exceed 12
o
inches. If accumulations are heavy, the 35 nozzle is recommended.

WATER LEVEL INDICATORS


It is important to pay attention to the amount of water remaining in the fresh water tanks when using the hose
reel. There are two ways of determining the amount of water remaining:
1. The sight level tube located on the water tanks which shows water level in both tanks.
2. Low water warning light, will come on when there is approximately 3 minutes of operation time remain-
ing. (Optional)

COLD WEATHER STORAGE


The following procedure is required to prevent damage to the water pump and water system during cold
weather conditions.
1. Open the drain in the water tank cross-over line, under truck chassis, behind the rear axle. Leave the
drain cap off until the machine is ready to be used.
2. Drain water from tanks by tipping the tank slightly. Once the water is removed, lower the tank.
3. Remove the suction line filter, gasket and cover.
4. Turn the 3 way ball valve at rear reel water manifold to the “Hose Reel” position.
5. Engage water pump in accordance with normal procedure and run pump approximately 15 seconds.
6. Apply 75 to 100 PSI of air pressure, from an external source, to the air valve on the water pump to force
the water from the water pump and hose reel. Do this until a solid stream of water no longer comes out of
hose.
7. Tie or wire the sewer cleaning hose end securely to reel and rotate clock-wise as if retrieving the
hose from sewer. Make certain the nozzle is removed. Rotate until water no longer comes out.
8. Open valve for handgun and push ball on male quick connect.
9. If equipped with cold weather recirculation option, open the ball valve to drain the water
from the return line. Leave this valve open until ready to use again.
Caution! The implementation of this procedure must be performed immediately after jetting operation or
cold weather recirculation operation.
Caution! If general circumstances lead to the interruption of the procedure and there is a presumption of
ice formation in the system, move to the unit to a heated garage immeadiately, let thaw out, and then pro-
ceed with the above steps.

AQUATECH OPERATIONS, SERVICE AND PARTS MANUAL


PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION 49
PRINCIPLES OF
OPERATION
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR HEAVILY LOADED LINES
In pipelines heavily loaded with sand or gravel, it is advisable to perform the cleaning operation in a
progressive manner, first propelling the cleaning nozzle 50 to 100 feet into the line and slowly withdrawing,
then 100 to 200 feet, etc. When the withdrawal of the nozzle fails to bring additional deposits to the manhole,
the line is clean. If the line is large and deposits are heavy, the speed of withdrawal of the hose should be
reduced. Special sand and penetrating nozzles are available for complete blockages. (See Nozzle Selection
guide in Accessory Catalog)
Caution: All high velocity sewer cleaners will cause small amounts of water and sewer gas to enter
buildings which do not have toilet vents or, have toilet vents that are clogged.

OPENING STOPPAGES
In the case of a line stoppage, the hose should be introduced into the manhole below the stoppage and worked
o o
upstream. The 35 and/or 15 nozzle, lance nozzle, stub lance, rocket nozzle or nozzle with a front orifice
are recommended.

UNEVEN JOINT IN SEWER LINES


It is recommended that nozzle guards, ellipse nozzle or centralizer be used, to ease cleaning operations by
preventing the nozzle from becoming caught on joints.

CULVERTS, DRAIN TILE, 18" AND LARGER PIPE


When cleaning such lines, it is advisable to insert the hose 4 to 5 feet into the line before delivering water to
the cleaning nozzle. The single storm, double storm, Sting ray or Torpedo nozzle is recommended for this
application since these will bore through large pipe and heavy accumulations best.

ROOT AND GREASE REMOVAL


The AQUATECH root cutter system, employing either root saws, root cutter blades or brushes, may be used
to cut out roots, encrusted grease and detergent buildup. Spin clean nozzles work most effectively on grease
and detergent buildup. Special instructions accompany these nozzles. Please refer to these instructions for
proper operation and care of specialty nozzles.

POLYTANK REPAIR

General Informafion
Repairs to polyethylene tanks can be performed easily with a miniInurn of training. Repair technicians must exercise
prudent caution against melting completely through the poly material, but extreme caution is generally not necessary.
What this means is that the technician must realize that dire consequences are possible but not likely if he/she is rea-
sonably carel.

Typical repairs will involve repair of two basic types of damage: blernishes to the surface, and cracks or holes through
the material. A different repair approach will be appropriate for each type of damage.

Blemish Repairs
Blemishes to the surface of the poly tank can usually be repaired by first cleaning the area to remove any grease, oil or
dirt. Then apply heat using an electric heat gun. Such guns, in the range of 1000 to 1300 watts allow the application of
heat in controllable amounts to avoid quick burn through which is possible with a flame such as from a propane torch.
Aquatech does not recommend the use of a torch to repair poly tanks.

Using the heat gun, and varying the distance of the gun from the surface of the material, work the heat

in a circular motion around the blemished area until the surface begins to become shiny. At this point the technician
should become Vely careful as the poly material is beginning to liquefy and will begin to flow. By allowing just enough
flow to fill any surrounding blemishes, and using a smooth metal obj ect such as a spoon or spatula, the material can
be manipulated and be made smooth. In cases where the material may have been heavily gouged, and some material
has been lost, the use of a stick of polyethylene material melted into the affected area can help fill it, then the tool can
restore the smooth surface.

Cracks and Holes


When a crack or hole has developed in the polyethylene material another approach is advisable. Cleaning the affected
area is very important. It may be necessary to scrape away some of the material if it is badly contaminated with grease,
oil or dirt. The repair is best done when it can be approached from both sides, although there are cases where this will
clearly be impossible.

Using an electric soldering gun with a wide, flat tip suitable for working with plastics, dip the hot tip into granulated poly-
ethylene (provided by Aquatech) and work small amounts into the crack or hole. Repeat as many times as necessary to
build the affected area up to the surrounding surface. Repeat the procedure on the opposite side if possible.

Use a smooth metal tool such as a spoon or spatula to work the material to conform with the surrounding surface. A
heat gun may used as a final step to completely smooth the area, but is not required.

Areas repaired with either technique will have all the qualities and properties of strength and stability as the original
area. Repaired sections can be put into service immediately upon cooling.

Recommended Tools
Tools recommended are a heat gun, 1000-1300 watts. Several manufacturers offer such a gun in the price range of
US$60.00 to US$ 150.00. Some manufacturers include Master, Weller and Ideal. These heat guns are also excel-
lent tools for thin wall shrink tubing and special solder/shrink electrical terminals. A soldering gun capable of accepting
altemate tips is also recommended. Such soldering guns can be purchased at electronic supply houses such as Radio
Shack, or at common retail outlets such as Sears. Weller is a respected manufacturer of good soldering tools. Forming
tools which are metal and smooth can be made from common items such as kitchen utensils, or purchased from body
shop suppliers. Since many different applications are possible, experience is the best judge of which particular tool to
obtain.

instructions for mounting rear bumper and splash guard

Description:
The bumper assembly and splash guard are two separate components. The bumper and splash guard are
tacked on the ends for shipping. They will need readjusting for assembly. The bumper assembly has one
horizontal bar with two vertical bars extending from the horizontal bar. The splash guard is a flat rectangular
sheet of metal that is weld onto the top of the vertical bars. The two sections are mounted to the rear of the
tank. When the tank is in tipping operation the bumper and splash guard will tip with the tank when properly
mounted. This provides for a smooth run-off when the debris tank is being emptied.
It is important to mount the bumper and splash guard in the proper location. This will prevent problems when
dumping and tipping the debris tank.
On the bottom rear of the debris tank is the tank hinge assembly. The hinges are on the left and right sides
of the debris tank. At the bottom of the debris tank, just below the tank opening, is the “cover plate bumper
mount.” The cover plate bumper mount is positioned between the left and right tank hinge assembly. Weld the
bumper and splash guard to the cover plate bumper mount.
Mounting the bumper:
Locate the center of the cover plate bumper mount and the center of the bumper assembly. Align the two
centers together. Leave approximately ¼" space from the bottom edge of the cover plate bumper mount when
mounting the bumper assembly to the cover plate bumper mount. When welding the bumper to the cover plate
bumper mount, it is helpful to have two additional persons to hold the bumper in position. Weld the bumper to
the cover plate bumper mount.
Mounting the splash guard:
Once the bumper assembly is mounted to the tank, weld the splash guard to the bumper assembly. Place the
guard on top of the bumper assembly vertical bars extending from the cover plate bumper mount. The guard
should fit perfectly onto the bumper assembly. If the guard is a little long or short, adjust it to fit snugly to the
bumper. When the guard is in place weld it to the bumper.
Note: Do not weld the bumper and splash guard to the truck chassis. This will cause difficulty when dumping
and tipping the unit. The bumper assembly was designed to tip with the debris tank. If you have any question
regarding mounting procedures contact our service department at 1-800-800-1016.
