This is pulled back and forth, getting all loose material, and at the same time, pulling out such things as roots which may have grown into the line. When the roots are too thick for the bucket to cut, a spe cial motor. This cuts the roots are put in, and turned by a spe cial mottor. This cuts the roots out, and they are in turn cleaned from the line by use of the bucket. The units used in cleaning the pipe line are each powered by 25 horsepower motor.
