Power Feed Operation (For Item 68284)
SAFETY
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM TWISTED OR BROKEN CABLES, CABLE ENDS WHIPPING AROUND, MACHINE TIPPING, CHEMICAL BURNS, INFECTIONS, ELECTRIC SHOCK AND OTHER CAUSES:
Follow operating instructions for your model explicitly.
Since drains likely contain hazardous chemicals or bacteria, wear appropriate protective equipment, such as:
•
•Latex, rubber or other liquid barrier gloves under
Do not use a glove you are not currently wearing or a rag to hold the rotating cable. Cloth materials can get wrapped around the moving cable, leading to serious personal injury. Before use, inspect gloves to be sure they are free of defects or loose sections that could get caught in Drain Cleaner.
•Rubber soled,
SETUP
OPERATION
1.Position the Drain Cleaner two feet from the drain.
2.Release all tension from the Tension Knob, then grab the cable with both gloved hands and push the cable into the drain until at least one foot of cable is in the drain. Retighten Tension Knob.

3.After making sure the Rotation Switch is in the “Forward” position, Tension Knob has been retightened, and the Power Feed Lever is in the down (forward) position, press the Foot Switch to start feeding the cable further into the drain. Make sure you can operate the Foot Switch while having at least one hand on the cable at all times. Also make sure the Rotation Switch on top of the Drain Cleaner and Power Feed Lever are within reach.
WARNING! Only one person should operate the cable feed and the Foot Switch. Do not operate the Drain Cleaner with one person controlling the cable and another person controlling the Foot Switch. This can cause the cable to kink, twist, and break, which can also lead to serious personal injury.
4.If the cable becomes lodged (for example: in a narrow part of the drain, in a drain trap, etc.), put the Power Feed Lever in the “neutral” position and allow the cable to try and work itself past the obstruction. If cable still won’t pass obstruction, release pressure from the Foot Switch and use sharp downward thrusts to try and pass obstruction. Once cable is past, put the Power Feed Lever in the down (forward) position, press the Foot Switch, and continue feeding.
MAINTENANCE
NOTICE
Rotation Switch controls rotation of drum only. DO NOT USE ROTATION SWITCH REVERSE POSITION WHILE REMOVING CABLE FROM PIPE. Use reverse direction only momentarily for relieving pressure or untangling cable from a blockage.
Warranty void if cable damaged from allowing motor to twist excessively against blockage, or if drum is run in reverse long enough to unwind cable.
