CUTTER OPERATION
1.
Make sure that air supply has been disabled using the Air/Water Enable pushbutton.
2.
Check to make sure that all the equipment is connected as described in the Electrical &
Physical Connections section.
3.
Check the functional operation of the equipment as described in the Functional Checkout section.
INSERTING THE CUTTER
4.
Use lifting poles, hooked to the cutter
lifting strap, to insert or retrieve the
cutter. Never lift or carry the cutter
using the cable or air hose. The cable
may be used to orient the cutter
correctly for insertion or retrieval. The
Standard Camera Assembly will pivot
down to allow easier insertion into the
manhole and then up to allow easier
insertion into the pipe.
CAUTION! Never
insert or retrieve the cutter when the air
system is operational!
CUTTING
5.
Put the cutter into Driving Mode and drive to the first lateral.
6.
Put the cutter into Cutting Mode and verify motor speeds and default directions are as desired.
7.
Make sure that the cutting bit is lined up with the lateral.
8.
Activate the air motor.
9.
Use the gamepad to move the cutting bit to reinstate the lateral.
10. The camera lens can be cleaned by rotating the air motor housing so it is in a near upright
position and turning on the water spray. Turn the water spray off and rotate the camera so
the lens engages with the lens wipers.
Cutting Tips:
•
Move the bit back and forth while plunging it
into the liner to enhance the cutting ability.
•
It is advised to open all laterals before final
trimming is undertaken.
•
Different cutting bits perform differently.
Experiment with each to optimize cutting
while reducing the amount of debris hitting
the camera.
•
To reduce the amount of debris, a user-
supplied piece of firm, but flexible,
material such as “lay flat” may be affixed to
the air motor housing with the screws and
washers on the front of the air motor housing.
RETRIEVING THE CUTTER
12. Switch the cutter to Driving Mode. Adjust the TV cable and air hose reel speeds to keep the
slack out of the cable and hose while driving in reverse.
NOTE: There is no neutral or cruise
control in the reverse direction.
13. The cutter can be retrieved in the same manner as it was inserted using lifting poles hooked
to the lifting strap. Never lift or carry the cutter using the cable or air hose.
