1. Use equipment capable of safely lifting and unloading power unit, bursting unit, extraction cage, and
related equipment next to bursting pit.
2. Set power unit switch to OFF.
3. Position power unit outside of bursting pit, at least two feet away from the edge.
4. Place gravel as a pit floor liner with a steel road plate under the bursting unit to establish slip-free work
surface and drainage, and to establish correct depth so that rod string will be level with existing pipe.
5. If using extraction cage lower into the pit and place against the pit wall.
NOTICE: Ensure no personnel are in pit as equipment is lowered.
6. Lower bursting unit into pit against extraction cage, if used. If no extraction cage is used, place against
pit wall. Allow space for pipe/pipe loader behind pulling unit.
7. Use stabilizers to ensure front panel is square (90°) with pit floor or end of the extraction cage. See
"Stabilizer Controls" on page 26.
8. Secure machine on all sides during pullback using proper cribbing and blocking devices.
9. Remove pin (1) and extend outrigger (2) to
pit wall to ensure machine is secure during
pullback. Replace pin.
To help avoid injury:
• Secure machine using proper cribbing and blocking devices in all directions during pullback.
• Operate only from designated area.
• Inspect and rotate rods.
• Replace damaged rods.
• Use proper clamping procedures.
