1. 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
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.

CHEK Inspection System
6. Switch ON the Reel and Camera as per
its instructions.
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.

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.

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.
