SEWER CLEANING — TYPICAL SEQUENCE
4
Hydro Excavation Kit (Option)
The Camel™ hydro excavation kit is designed for
removing soil from around utilities such as gas, water,
electric, and telephone lines as well as in industrial plants
for exposing buried lines of any nature. It can be used for
"pot holing" on horizontal directional drilling sites. It can
also be used to dig post holes for telephone and electric
poles, as well as many other applications.
The hydro excavation kit uses the truck’s high-pressure
water system to break up soil and debris and its vacuum
system to remove the debris.
The operation of the truck’s water and vacuum functions
while using the hydro excavation kit will follow normal
sewer cleaning procedures.

The gun (6) comes with the Camel unit. It is not part
of the hydro excavation kit. It is shown above as a
required component for hydro excavating.
Hydro Excavation Kit Operation
When using the hydro excavation kit, all startup and
operation procedures for the water and vacuum systems
will be the same as normal sewer cleaning operations.
See “Water Lance Operation” on page 4-14 for
proper water lance operation and safety information.
• When hydro excavating only use nozzles with
urethane coatings fully intact to protect
against electrocution and damaging exposed
lines. Failure to comply could result in
personal injury and/or property damage.
• When hydro excavating be sure that a hydro
excavating vacuum tube extension with the
urethane coating fully intact is used to
protect against electrocution and damaging
exposed lines. Failure to comply could result
in personal injury and/or property damage.
• Always wear a full face shield with eye
protection, safety shoes, and gloves. Make
sure any exposed skin is covered by work
clothing. There could be flying material from
the lance as the water stream strikes the soil.
Failure to comply could result in serious
injury or death.
• Never block or tie back the trigger on the
lance gun. This is meant to be a safety device
so the operator is in complete control and can
instantaneously shut off the water stream if
the need arises. Failure to comply could
result in personal injury.
