Operation Manual -
71
• Spray can filled with form oil (not necessary,
but very helpful)
• Clean-out balls
• Water hose and nozzle
• Clean-out rake
• Working lamps for night work
• An approved air blow-out cap (see the Safety
Manual for blow out cap requirements)
• 5 gallon bucket
• Hand tools
• Hammer
Of all of the above mentioned items, the hammer is the
tool that you will need the most often. It can be used
for pipeline setup and removal. It can be used to tap
pipe to locate blockages (follow the safety instructions
found in the Safety Manual portion of this Operation
Manual for this procedure). It makes a good persuasion
device for rusted nuts and bolts, and for knocking out
concrete that has set up in clamps and hoppers. Many
pumpers take the head off of the wooden handle and
have it installed on a steel pipe. This makes it perfect
for pipeline installation, because the handle can be
used to pry clamp handles up or down. Experienced
pump operators never walk from the pump to the
pipeline without a hammer. A four or five pound sledge
works best.
Last, but not least, you will need the things required
by law for operation of a motor vehicle, things related
to safety of the motor vehicle, and paperwork needed
for the job, such as:
• Valid driver’s license
• Fuel permit
• Cab card
• Registration
• Insurance card
• First aid kit
• Flares
• Reflector signs
• Fire extinguisher
• Job ticket
• Map(s)
• Job site phone number and contact person
