Before deployment
Assess your deployment and safety requirements before you begin. Different environments may pose
risks and challenges that you may be unaccustomed to.
Check that no hazardous gases are present. The C550c flexitrax is not suitable for use in potentially
explosive environments.
We recommend the use of downhole and manhole rollers as there is a risk of damaging the crawler
cable during a survey. They should be set before the crawler is lowered into the manhole and deployed
in place before the survey starts.
