What will be covered?

Course Intro.

Overview of Primary Components

  This program aims to equip operators with the knowledge needed for the safe operation and maintenance of the 900 ECO Combination Sewer Cleaning Unit. It provides key information about the unit's components and their functions in related systems. The introduction will summarize the main topics covered in the program modules.  

Module 1

Safety

  Safety is the top priority for all equipment operations, which must involve at least two operators. Operators should be aware of any potentially unsafe conditions related to the equipment’s size, weight (about 45,000 lbs.), and maneuverability. Any safety concerns should be discussed with the supervisor before operating the machine.  

Module 2

Checks

  Before operating the equipment, trainees must complete maintenance checks and learn about personal protective equipment. They will also understand the importance of winterizing the unit.  

Module 3

High-Pressure Water System Components

  The sewer cleaning operations of the 900 ECO Unit utilize a high-pressure water system, consisting of several key components that work together for efficient cleaning. We will identify each component, explain its function, and discuss required maintenance, along with the switches and controllers that manage them.  

Module 4

Vacuum System Components

  The vacuum system collects waste and material from the cleaning process. This overview will examine twelve key components, starting from material intake to the airstream's exit. We'll also cover the required maintenance for each component, along with their switches and controllers.  

Module 5

Set-Up and Operation

  The setup and operation of the 900 ECO combination machine for jetting and vacuuming sewer mains. This includes safety precautions for operators and bystanders, highlights the proper use of high-pressure water systems, and outlines best operational practices in the field.  

Module 6

Dynamic Filling

  Sewer cleaning crews spend hours setting up their units and refilling water tanks. Dynamic filling will enable them to clean pipes without interruption. This program will cover the essentials for implementing dynamic filling  

Module 7

Lateral Line Cleaning

  This system is intended for cleaning smaller diameter pipes and is not suitable for large main lines. The 1⁄2 inch hose and nozzle can navigate tighter turns that a 1-inch hose cannot. The process requires two people in constant communication for safe operation.  

Module 8

Debris Tank Offloading

  When using the vacuum system, debris and liquid enter the debris body simultaneously. It features a liquid level indicator with a ball float that activates when the liquid reaches a certain level, shutting off airflow to prevent damage. After this, you must decant the unit. Proper cleaning of the air filters is also detailed in this chapter.  

Module 9

Vac & Wash On-The-Go

  The 900 ECO Unit features a patented hydrostatic drive system that allows it to perform vacuum and water operations while in motion, making it essential for cleaning up sanitary sewer overflows, especially when the sewer is flowing down the curb  

Module 10

Winterization

  The single-piston double-action pumping system can pump both water and air. This program provides instructions on using the air-pumping feature to purge the water system. Units with the Tri-plex pump will receive guidance on air purging for winterizing. Be aware that residual water may freeze in cold weather, so caution is essential when reactivating the unit after freezing conditions.  

Module 11

Hydro-Excavation

  Hydro Excavation involves using pressurized water to remove soil, followed by an air conveyance or vacuum to transfer the debris to a tank. This method allows for non-destructive excavation and precise location of underground utilities.
