drum. Insert bolt, washers and nut and tighten se- curely. Push the remainder of the pigtail into drum.

10.Place the drum assembly into the machine by fol- lowing instructions in Step 2 of Drum Assembly In- stallation section.

Proper Tool Selection

A good rule of thumb is to make the first pass with either a grease cutter or blade cutter that is 2″ smaller than the drain size. For additional passes, larger tools may be used. However, tools should generally be at least 1″ smaller than the drain size. Use a full size blade on the final pass.

The style of tool is determined by the nature of the job and is left to the discretion of the operator.

Flexible leaders should be used to negotiate bends and traps in lines.
