OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Place the Sludge Carrier on the wash pad so that water will drain to catch basin.
2. Attach one of the Biodegradable filter bags to the Sludge Carrier by pushing the bolts through the burlap weave of
the bag. Make sure all eight bolts are pushed through the bag.

3. Connect one end of the Flex Hose to the cam lock fitting of the Sludge Carrier and the other end to the cam lock
fitting on the top of the Pit Cleaner Assembly.
4. Attach the gun of the Pit Cleaner Assembly to the pressure washer with a hose that has a 3/8” female quick-connect
fitting.
5. Start the pressure washer
6. To clean the pit, insert the head of the Pit Cleaner Assembly into the sludge at the bottom of the pit and pull the
trigger on the gun.
7. The unit is operating correctly when you can feel a surge of fluid through the flex hose and see the sludge dump into
the Biodegradable filter bag.
8. If the unit is not working correctly, check the following causes:
a. The sludge is too thick to pump up the Pit Cleaner Assembly. Move the Pit Cleaner Assembly up and down in
the pit to dislodge the sludge or remove it from the pit to flush out the sludge.
NOTE: The pressure washer must be shut off before checking causes "b-d".
b. An object is lodged in the head of the Pit Cleaner Assembly. Remove the head if necessary to dislodge the
object.
c. Sludge has plugged the Pit Cleaner Assembly or Flex Hose. Undo cam lock fittings and remove obstruction.
d. The nozzle in the head of the Pit Cleaner Assembly is clogged. Remove the head and use a 9/16” socket to
remove and clean out the nozzle.
NOTE: Some debris cannot be removed from the pit. It may be necessary to periodically empty the pit and shovel the
debris out by hand.
9. When a bag is full, stop cleaning the pit and disconnect the hose from the Sludge Carrier and cart it over to a drainage
area. Tie off the bag and remove it from the cart to let it drain. It may take a couple hours to drain the bag.
10. Place the next bag on the Sludge Carrier and continue cleaning, replacing the bag when necessary.
