apart from pumping as much sulfur out of the pit as you can, shut off the main compressure, close your steam header valve, shut off the dilution water, etc.

Pit cleaning is a pretty much a manual scraping exercise not only for the sulfur but also the carsul, and other sediments.

you should have an operating manual that covers those details. if not then you can contact the original designer of your plant to get a copy. If that is not a viable option, then contact one of the acid plant designers (your cooler supplier can help) and they'll sort one out for you.
