The hose and boom are hydraulically lifted and can be used to the left or right hand side of a
stationary vehicle with a single operator. With a second operator, the hose can be used whilst
the vehicle is moving slowly along. The hose operator should position them self at the rear of the
vehicle, moving onto the footpath to clean around obstructions as they are encountered. Additional
extensions can be added to the equipment for cleaning deep drains, gullies and catchpits. The
Wanderhose can also be employed effectively on surface flood water.
Note :
The correct operation of the Wanderhose is achieved by holding the pipe just above the water or
debris being picked up.
