Installation
Lift vacuum excavator into position with suitable lifting equipment. Securely bolt vacuum excavator skid to the
transport vehicle.
NOTICE: Lift vacuum excavator with tanks empty. Attempting to lift with tanks full may damage the mounting
cradle and require lifting equipment with larger capacity.
Locate vacuum excavator so the engine and controls can be easily accessed. Workers using the vacuum
excavator will need safe and easy access to the controls, tools, and spoil tank. Provide steps or a ladder from the
ground level to the bed of the truck or trailer.
WARNING: Before mounting on a truck or trailer, read the truck or trailer manual for safety
precautions and information. Do not cut or drill any holes in the transport vehicle floor or frame
without consulting a manual for the specific transport vehicle. Take protective measures and use
caution when cutting or drilling around air and fuel tanks, hoses, and other nearby components.
