     A.    Open Gully pit
     B.	Place the indicator hose, suck out all of the sediment, organic leaf material, litter and
           other materials that were collected in the filter bag
     C.	Allow the filter bag to be sucked up in the inductor hose for a few seconds to allow for
           the filter mesh pores to be cleaned.
     D.	Use the inductor hose to remove any build-up of material around the overflows and in
           the bottom of the pit.
     E.	Remove filter back from pit
     F.	Remove any sediment and litter caught in the Gully pit grate
     G.	Back opening channels are to be cleared of any debris to ensure flow is not hindered.
     H.	Thoroughly examine the structural integrity of the filter bag and frame.
     I.	Reinstate filter bag and gully pit covers


     Hand Maintenance
     A.   Open Gully pit
     B.	Using the correct lifting technique, lift the StormSack out by the diagonal lifting corners fitted to the frame.
     C.	For extremely heavy and overfilled bags either use a hydraulic lifting arm to lift the StormSack, or remove excess
          material using a shovel or etc. Take care not to damage the bag when removing litter form the bag.
     D.   Lift the StormSack clear of the stormwater pit.




     E.	Position the StormSack over the collection bin or vehicle.
     F.  Lift and empty the bag by holding the bottom lifting loops only.
     G.	Brush the StormSack with a stiff brush to remove the sediment from the filter pores.
     H.	Thoroughly examine the structural integrity of the filter bag and frame.
     I.	Reinstate StormSack and gully pit covers.
