Drain Cleaning Operation

CAUTION: DO NOT USE THIS DRAIN CLEANER ON DRAIN LINES SMALLER THAN TWO INCHES. DAMAGE MAY OCCUR TO EQUIPMENT OR PIPES.

1.Place the Drain Cleaner within two feet of the drain pipe inlet.

2.Pull Cable (39a) from the Drum (38a) and begin feeding it into the drain pipe inlet as far as it will go manually.

3.Verify that the Motor Direction Switch (5) is in the Off position, then plug the Power Cord (15) into an electrical outlet. Press the Reset button on the GFCI.

4.Loosen the Star Knob ( 44-13) by turning it counterclockwise until it is no longer pressing against the cable. See photo on page 10.

5.Pull the Direction Lever (44-16) up (FORWARD) to feed Cable out of the Drum. Pushing the Direction Lever down (REVERSE) will retract the Cable back into the Drum. When the lever is in the middle (NEUTRAL) position, the Cable will spin in place.

6.Move the Motor Direction Switch (5) to the Forward position. 6. Caution: Do not force the Cable. Let the cutter do the work.

7.Turn (clockwise) the Star Knob (44-13), at the top of the Cable Feed Unit, until the feed roller touches the Cable, then one quarter additional turn. Do not overtighten, excessive cable wear will occur. See photo on page 10.

8.Wearing a leather glove, place your hand on the Guide Tube or Cable, press the Foot Switch (14) to start the forward Cable movement. Feed the Cable into the drain pipe inlet with a firm and even pressure against any resistance. Adjust the feeding rate to the resistance met. Do not force the Cable. Let the cutter do the work. Run hot wa- ter down the drain pipe during and after the removal of the stoppage to wash away debris.

9.After the drain pipe has been opened, return the cable to the Drum.

To do that: Place the Direction Lever (44-16) in the UNBIND direction. Press the Motor Direction Switch (5) to the NORMAL position. Press on the Foot Switch (14) to recoil Cable. When the cutter head is near the drain pipe inlet, release Foot Switch to stop Drum rotation. NOTE: If necessary, replace the cutter tool with the U-Cutter or Side Cutter, and reenter the drain pipe to clean the pipe walls.

10.Caution: Avoid damage to Cable or cutting tool. Do not use the Motor Direction Switch

(5)in the Reverse position to pull the Cable out of the drain pipe. Always leave the Switch (5) in the NORMAL position, whether feeding the Cable into the drain pipe, or pulling it out. Use Reverse position only to release the Cable if it should become caught in the drain pipe line, and only for a few seconds.

11.When the job is complete, unplug the Power Cord from the electrical outlet and coil it. Store the Drain Cleaner and cutter tools in clean and dry location.
