Description, Specifications and Standard Equipment Description The RIDGID

CROSSCHEK Inspection Sys - tem is designed for use with the SeeSnake

microDrain™, nanoReel, microReel and rM- 200 In spection System. It is used to inspect the straight bores produced by pneumatic under- ground piercing/boring tools. The CROSSCHEK Inspection System mounts to the camera head and pushrod. Once a bore is completed, the air hose is attached to the CROSSCHEK Inspection System and used to pull the camera head through the bore for inspection. Once the inspection is completed, a rope is used to retrieve the unit from the bore and pull the utility to be in- stalled into place. Specifications Bore Capacity nanoReel ...............1

Inspection System Safety Warnings WARNING This section contains important safetyinformation that is specific to thesetools.Read these precautions carefully beforeusing the RIDGID CROSSCHEK™ Inspec -tion System to reduce the risk of electri-cal shock or other serious personal in-jury. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS! Keep this manual with the equipment for use by the operator.

• Do not use with pressurized hoses. Connect and disconnect pressure-free hoses only. Pressurized hoses can whip, causing striking and other serious injuries. Always turn OFF the compressor and bleed all air before connecting or discon- necting hoses.

• Do not use in the presence of energized electrical systems. This will reduce the risk of electrical shock.

• Do not operate in explosive atmos- pheres, such as in the presence of flam- mable liquids, gases, or dust. Tools can create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

• Always use appropriate personal pro- tective equipment while handling and using the CROSSCHEK Inspection Sys - tem. Appropriate personal protective equip- ment always includes safety glasses, and may include equipment such as gloves, face shields, goggles, protective clothing, respirators and steel-toed footwear.

• Follow instructions on proper use of this equipment. Do not use for other pur- poses. Other uses or modifying this equip- ment for other applications may increase the risk of serious injury.

• Read and understand the instructions and warnings for all equipment being used including boring tools, cameras and reels before operating the CROSS - CHEK Inspec tion System. Failure to follow all instructions and warnings may result in property damage or serious personal injury.2 CROSSCHEK

Inspection System CHEK unit for your system (microDrain

nanoReel, microReel and rM-200). The diameter and color of the guide will deter- mine which camera system the CROSS- CHEK unit can be used on. (See Figure 3.) Figure 3

2. Securely install the adapter into the cone

(Figure 4 ). The adapter allows attach- ment of the air hose to the CROSSCHEK Inspection System. The CROSSCHEK In spec tion System can then be pulled through the bore with the air hose, and the utility (pipe, cable, etc.) can be pulled back through the bore after the inspection with the CROSSCHEK In spec tion Sys - tem. Other adapters can be installed as long as they have a

" NPT male thread for attachment. Figure 4 – Installing Adapter Into Cone

3. Place the bulb halves around the pushrod

1.5" (38mm) from the end of the camera spring. Insert and securely tighten the two screws. The bulb halves should securely grip the camera pushrod. A small gap be- tween the halves is acceptable as long as the pushrod is held securely. Do not damage the pushrod. Figure 5 – Position Bulb On Pushrod Standard Equipment The RIDGID

CROSSCHEK Inspection Sys - tem comes with the following items:

• CROSSCHEK Inspection System, (See Figure 1)

• Operator’s Manual Pack Figure 1 – CROSSCHEK Inspection System The CROSSCHEK Inspection Sys - tem and SeeSnake equip ment is used to in- spect bores produced by pneumatic under - ground piercing/bor ing tools. The use of this system does not guarantee the detection of cross bores or other bore features. The action of moving this equipment through the bore may cause the bore to deform or collapse which could cause the bore to be unusable or trap and damage the inspection equipment, requiring the equipment to be dug up to be removed. Figure 2 – CROSSCHEK Inspection System Assembly WARNING To reduce the risk of serious injury dur-ing use, follow these procedures forproper assembly.

1. Clean any oil, grease or dirt from the

CROSSCHEK Inspection System includ- ing the cone and adapter.

2. Check that the correct adapter is fitted for

the type of air hose available.

3. Inspect the CROSSCHEK Inspection

System for the following:

• Proper assembly, maintenance and com pleteness.

• Any broken, worn, missing, misaligned or binding parts.

• Presence and readability of the warning label (Figure 9)

• Any other condition which may prevent safe and normal operation. If any problems are found, do not use the equipment until the problems have been repaired. Figure 9 – Warning Label

4. Inspect and maintain any other equip-

ment being used per its instructions to make sure it is functioning properly. Set-Up and Operation WARNING Set up and operate the CROSSCHEK In -spection System and work area accord-ing to these procedures to reduce therisk of injury from electric shock, entan-glement and other causes, and to pre-vent tool damage.

4. Open the pushrod shell on the CROSS-

CHEK unit and place the pushrod bulb, (with pushrod attached), into the opening making certain the grooves in the bulb line up with the wire rope. (Figure 6) Close the shell and tighten the two screws. Figure 6 – Locate Pushrod Bulb In Shell

5. Slide the guide onto the camera head

making sure the wire rope is in the grooves in the guide. Place the guide onto the camera head so that approxi- mately

" (3.2mm) of the camera head is exposed and tighten the clamp screw (Figure 7

Figure 7 – Installing Guide On Camera Head

6. Securely tie the rope to the spring clip

and attach to the wire rope loop as shown

Figure 8 – Attachment of Rope Pre-Operation Inspection WARNING Before each use, inspect your CROSS-CHEK Inspection System and correctany problems to reduce the risk of injuryand prevent tool damage. Wire Rope Wire Rope1. Set up and use the underground pierc- ing/boring tool as per its instructions. Figure 10 – Bore Made In Soil

2. Once the bore is complete, turn off the air

supply and wait for pressure to bleed out of the tool and hose. Depressurize the air hose and remove the piercing tool from the air hose as per the piercing tool in- structions.

3. Examine the bore and make sure that

the CROSSCHEK Inspection System is the appropriate tool for the application. The bore should be between 1

" (45mm) and 3" (75mm) and generally straight. The bore should be self-supporting – soil should not be falling into the bore. This can prevent passage of the CROSS- CHEK Inspection System and could dam- age the equipment.

4. Confirm that the CROSSCHEK Inspec -

tion System is properly assembled and inspected.

5. Securely connect the air hose to the

adap ter on the cone of the CROSSCHEK Inspection System (Figure 11) . Air hose must have a rotating swivel connection to prevent binding and kinking. Do not twist CROSSCHEK/Pushrod while attaching air hose. Figure 11 – Connect Air Hose To The CROSS- CHEK Inspection System

6. Switch ON the Reel and Camera as per

7. Operating the CROSSCHEK Inspection

System generally requires two people – one person at each end of the bore. Two- way radios or similar devices may be needed to coordinate the movement of the CROSSCHEK Inspection System through the bore. Slowly pull the air hose back through the bore, pulling the in- spection equipment behind it. As the air hose is pulled through the bore, care- fully feed the camera pushrod and rope into the bore to reduce the risk of bore damage. Do not force the CROSSCHEK Inspection System through the bore, this could damage the equipment or cause the hole to collapse. Figure 12 – CROSSCHEK Inspection System Pulled Through With Air Hose As the camera moves through the bore, carefully monitor the bore walls. If at any time, you see any indication that the bore has contacted electrical, natural gas or other systems that could be hazardous, move away from the bore area and use proper precautions for the hazard. If needed, repeat inspection in any sus- pect areas. Figure 13 – Typical Crossbore Into Sewer Line RIDGID SeeSnake systems are equipped with a Sonde (In-Line Transmitter) just be- hind the camera head. If equipped with a Sonde, a locating unit can be used to de- tect the Sonde and locate features in the bore being inspected. See the “Lo cating the Sonde” section of your SeeSnake sys- tem manual. If at any time, the bore collapses around the CROSSCHEK Inspection System, camera, pushrod or any other part of the system, stop pulling the unit. Con tinued pulling of the unit could damage the equipment. If the equipment becomes trapped in the bore, it may need to be dug up to be removed.

8. When the Inspection equipment comes

out through the bore, remove the air hose. If needed, attach the utility (pipe, cable, etc.) to the CROSSCHEK Inspection Sys - tem with appropriate adapters (Fig ure 14) . Do not twist CROSSCHEK/Push rod while attaching utility. Figure 14 – Connect Utility Line To CROSS-CHEK Inspection System

9. Using the rope, pull the CROSSCHEK

Inspection System back through the bore with slow, steady force (Figure 15) . Do not use excessive force, this could dam- age the equipment. If desired, the in- spection can be repeated as the unit is pulled back. This may allow better in- spection results. Figure 15 – Utility Line Pulled Through Bore

10. Once the inspection is complete, discon-

nect the CROSSCHEK Inspection Sys - tem from the utility. Storage To prevent damage, the CROSSCHEK In - spection System should be removed from the camera system when storing. CROSSCHEK
