SKIDS 

Depending  on  the  size  of  pipe  you  are  inspecting,  you 
may need to use the supplied skid so the camera is cen-
tered of off the bottom of the pipe. Care should be taken 
so the skids do not snag in the pipe. 

Under  normal  operating  situations,  the  camera  is  used 
with the smaller protective sleeve in 4‖ lines or the larger 
finned sleeve in 6‖ and larger pipes.

 

The  skids  supplied  should  be  slipped  onto  the  camera 
with the lip of the sleeve at the front. Make sure the cam-
era body is clean and the set screws tightened only until 
they touch the camera body. Do not over tighten as  you 
may damage the camera housing.
