5.11 EZ Glide Vacuum Wand
The vacuum wand has a suction port and utilizes 3 compressed air nozzles for cleaning the debris
from cracks. Care and use of the wand should be taken to ensure that it operates at peak efficiency.
Step Action
1 Inspect the wand for worn, broken or missing parts, repair or replace if necessary.
Seal brushes should be making contact with the asphalt surface to keep debris or
dust from being blown outside of the vacuum head. Height adjustment can be made
by removing spacer washers from the swivel caster wheels. See
Figure 5-9 Wand
Wheel Spacers
Note: Do not discard washers as they may be needed again at a later time.
2
The front brush on the wand can be adjusted to an up or down position. If cracks are
being routed, the brush can be moved to the up position to allow debris to go under
the brush and be vacuumed, as opposed to the brush pushing the debris. In all other
instances, the brush should be in the lowered position. See

Routed Crack Brush Location
3 Attach the 25-foot lightweight vacuum hose to the overhead boom and secure the
cam lock. Attach the 25-foot air hose (if equipped) to the overhead boom.
Note: The boom extension can be extended for additional hose support.
4 Route the vacuum hose through the support rings on the wand and attach the hose
to the suction port with the supplied clamp. Attach the 25-foot air hose (if equipped)
to the wand end.
5 When beginning the cleaning operation, if a compressor is being used, turn the air
supply valve to the on position to help loosen debris in the crack. Try to keep the
center nozzle over the crack for best cleaning performance.
WARNING
Do not lift the vacuum head off the ground when the air valve is in the on position.
This may blow debris back at the operator and may cause an injury.
