INTRODUCTION
MESSAGE TO NEW OWNER
Thank you for purchasing your X-VAC Hydro Excavator unit, the most advanced American-made
hydro excavation machine. Our quality of design and manufacture will assure you the greatest return
on your equipment investment.
Please consult this owner’s manual as the first step to resolving questions you may have about the
operation or service of your machine. If you are not able to find the answers, then consult with your
selling dealer. Finally, we at the factory will be happy to provide operating or service information that
this manual or your dealer are unable to provide.
Our warranty spells out all your rights and expectations with regard to this equipment. Please
consult it for a full definition of what is covered.
Thank you again for selecting the equipment preferred by industry professionals throughout the
world.
Your new X-VAC Hydro Excavator unit incorporates the very latest in hydro excavation technology.
The soil cutting action results from water traveling from the storage tank into the high efficiency
water pump and being pumped to the hose reel and nozzle at high pressure and low volume. As a
result, the machine will excavate and operate in a far superior manner than previously available.
The vacuum system provided is superior to any other available. It is capable of both wet and dry
operation, as well as operation under water.
To achieve maximum results, the operators must become thoroughly familiar with the operation of
the machine and completely understand correct nozzle selection and cleaning accessory use.
We are a company that is committed to continually striving to build an even better product. Many
ideas for improvements in previous models have come from users in the field.
