Wander Hose
The wander hose is permanently mounted on the rear of the vehicle. The weight of the hose and nozzle are supported by a gas strut attached to the boom

2. Auxiliary engine on. Sweeping equipment deselected and stowed.
Ensure the suction fan is off .
3. Demount the suction tube from its stowage position and swing the
whole unit to the required position.
4. Turn the suction fan on .
5. Use the suction tube as required.
6. For situations requiring maximum suction i.e. when removing
stubborn objects etc., then press the suction fan boost button .
7. When replacing the wander hose, make sure that the boom is over the
stowage hook. Ensure that the suction tube is correctly fitted into its
blanking cap. Failure to do so will adversely affect suction when

screen, a hatch has been installed in the rear door and is accessed via an
