4.7 MACHINE PREPARATION
Before the Ultra-Vac® can be used it must be set
up and prepared for operation.
When setting-up, follow this procedure:
1. Clear the area of bystanders, especially small
children.
2. Be sure you select a spot that has sufficient
space to locate the machine and enough
clearance to allow trucks to drive under the
discharge cyclone.
3. Position the machine approximately 12 feet (4
meters) from the storage facility.
4. Place all other controls in neutral and set park
brake before dismounting.
5. Remove the plug from the receiver tank inlet.
6
Remove the intake nozzle from its storage
position on the frame and install on the end of
the steel flex tube. Secure in position using
the bolts on the coupler.
7
Connect the 12 foot steel flex tube to the inlet.
Tighten the bolts on the coupler to lock the
tube securely in place.
8. Starting Engine:
a. Place all controls (including Clutch) in their
neutral or off position and lock-off the
hydraulic oil supply valve to the boom-lift
cylinder.
b. Start the engine using the procedure
outlined in the engine manufacturers
handbook. Run the engine at low idle.
c. Slowly engage the PTO/Clutch control to
the drive system
9. Use the boom lift control to raise the boom out
of the boom saddle. Use the boom rotation
control to swing boom around until it is in a
working position that will allow a truck to drive
under the discharge cyclone.
10. Reverse the above procedure when finished
working and placing into the storage or
transport configuration.
Stay away from overhead electrical wires to
prevent electrocution.
