Speedrooter 91™
6. Loosen knob on rear drum shaft clamp (S91-
130), then open cap.
7. Lift drum clear of machine.
TO INSTALL DRUM
1. Hang V-Belt from motor pulley. (64” belt for
large drum, 57” for small.)
2. Place drum on the machine, positioning the
shaft into rear drum clamp first. Rotate the
drum until the hole in the shaft fits over the
guide pin in the clamp.
3. Then put the distributor tube into the front post
clamp.
4. Close front and rear clamps. Then tighten
knobs.
5. Slip V-Belt under drum. To make it easier to
put the V-Belt in place, press down on the
motor and slide a screwdriver or similar tool into
the hole at the base of the motor support. This
will keep the motor support spring depressed so
that it will be easy to slip the V-Belt around
drum. After the V-Belt is in place, depress the
motor enough to pull out screwdriver.
TO INSTALL CABLE IN DRUM
To install cable in the drum, simply connect the
male end of the cable to the drum connecting
cable, which is already attached to the drum. Then
remove the drum V-Belt and turn the drum
clockwise, while pushing cable into the drum.
Note:
The cable should lay in the
drum in a clockwise direction.
Maintenance
To keep your machine operating smoothly, it is
essential that all bearings and distributor tube
bushings be lubricated. Oiling moving parts is
particularly important where machine comes in
contact with sand, grit and other abrasive material.
CABLE MAINTENENCE
To get maximum service from your cables, be sure
that they are clean and well oiled. This not only
provides running lubrication but greatly extends the
life of the cables as well. Some users periodically
pour oil directly into the drum. Then, as the drum
turns, the cables get complete lubrication. Our
SNAKE OIL is ideally suited for this purpose, since it
not only lubricates the cables, it disinfects and
deodorizes them as well.
FEED MAINTENANCE
Keep feed free of excessive soil and grit. It is
recommended that the feed be flushed with fresh
water followed by a light oiling of the moving parts.
No disassembly is normally required. Failure to feed
can usually be traced to the following possibilities:
DIRT ACCUMULATION:
Over time, dirt can harden
enough to stop roller rotation. Flushing with water
followed by liberal oiling can usually restore
function. If disassembly is required, proceed as
follows:
1. Remove the feed tension knob, springs and
spring plunger. Note the positioning of these
parts to ease re-assembly. The top roller can
now be removed.
2. Remove the snap rings and thrust washers from
the bottom housing cylinders. The bottom rollers
can now be removed.
3. Re-assembly is done in reverse order.
DAMAGED ROLLER:
Excessive use may wear a
roller to the point of failure. It is recommended that
all three rollers be replaced at the same time (Cat #
PO-MR-703).
TANGLED CABLE:
If a cable loops over itself in the
drum, it will not feed properly. Remove and reload
the cable by hand to restore function. If the cable
kinks, it is evidence of abuse and results from the
use of too much pressure or use of the wrong size
cable for the line. Do not force the cable — Let the
cutter do the work.
