NOZZLE SELECTION<br />

The "Skipjack" can be equipped with either straight jet or fan jet nozzles. The<br />

choice depends mainly upon the task and there is no general rule. It is important,<br />

however, that fan jets are installed tangentially parallel .<br />

At the front of the "Skipjack" a nozzle head with three bores is installed to clear<br />

the way and also reduce wear on the body of the "Skipjack" by creating a water cushion<br />

to travel on; thus, reducing friction to a minimum .<br />

WEAR PARTS<br />

The "Skipjack" is fitted with a replaceable wear plate made out of special wear<br />

resistant alloy steel to enable economical replacement of the principal wearing part.<br />

AVAILABLE VERSIONS<br />

For the U. S. and Canadian markets, both the P I and P II versions are available<br />

for typical sewer cleaner performance rates in the 60 to 70 HP range.<br />

Important factors in considering the use of the "Skipjack" includes such data as<br />

size and profile of sewers, equipment being utilized, and the proposer cleaning methods.<br />

When working with combination vehicles the P I version with the higher traction<br />

force and the higher production rate due to its 15 degree nozzle angle should be used.<br />

Flushing and vacuuming can be done simultaneously.<br />

When working with a flushing and vacuwm (or suction) vehicle, the P II version<br />

with its 30 degree nozzle angle can prove advantageous .<br />

Sludge and debris piles up under the manhole and can easily be vacuumed out.<br />
