Pipeline Inspection Run Start the VCR. Record condition of manhole. Recording inside pipeline may have to be started before the footage is set. Run Crawler / camera through pipeline slowly enough to spot defects. Do not force Crawler /camera past any large amount of debris. Beware of large root masses.
Maintenance Each time the crawler is removed from the pipeline the entire assembly should be washed cleaned. A light spray of chain oil should be used on each track assembly. Inspect individual crawler feet for damage. Replace if necessary. Inspect the power cable, bridle, and connector to make sure they have not been damaged.
