Preparation
Before using either the Wanderhose or the
Littasnatch it is necessary to blank off the nozzle
ducting to prevent air passing into the body via
the nozzle(s). On a machine fitted with intake
flap(s) this is easily effected by not operating either
nozzle, but on a single sweep machine without a
flap, the duct has to be manually blanked using
the blanking plate. This plate (A) is stowed on the
underside of the body adjacent to the intake duct
and must be positioned on the seat at the top of the flexible nozzle duct (B). The body must
be raised slightly to position the plate, and lowered afterwards.
Operation
Once the intake duct(s) have been blanked:
1. Unclip the Wanderhose from the bracket at front of body.
Note : If the boom is released from the stowage hook before the extension hose is fitted and
rises out of reach, it can be retrieved with the grab provided.
2. Clip on extension hose as required.

5. Turn on Wanderhose water injection using tap at the rear of the body.
The hose and boom are spring loaded and can be used to the rear, 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. The hose operator should position themselves 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.
