MAINTENANCE
To keep your machine operating smoothly, it is
essential that all bearings and bushings be lubricated.
Oiling moving parts is particularly important where
machine comes in contact with sand, grit, and other
abrasive material.
CABLE MAINTENANCE
To get maximum service
from your cables, be sure
that they are clean and well
oiled. This not only provides
complete lubrication, but
greatly extends the life of the
cables as well. Our SNAKE
OIL is ideally suited for this
purpose, since it not only
lubricates the cables, it
deodorizes them as well.
TO CLEAN OR REPLACE GRIPPERS
If your Super-Vee is not gripping the cable properly,
the cable grippers may need to be cleaned or
replaced.
TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE (Table 3)
1. Loosen the 3/8” set screws and the slotted screw
in the front collar.
2. Remove the front collar and slide off the grip
shield.
3. Remove screws holding the cable grippers.
4. Clean or replace cable grippers.
5. Re-grease grippers and reassemble.
TO REMOVE MOTOR
1. Loosen the three screws that hold the front and
back of the drum together.
2. Pull the drum off of the front of the machine.
3. Remove cable cartridge.
4. Loosen the set screws in the beveled collar and
remove both the collar and the felt washer.
5. Slide a flat head screw driver into the Hub Spindle
and unscrew the Left Hand locking screw from the
drive shaft by turning it clockwise.
6. Unscrew the Hub Spindle from the Right Hand
Drive Shaft by rotating the drum back counter-
clockwise. Note: The Hub Spindle, Hub, and
Drum Back remain as one unit; the Thrust Bearing
will come free.
7. Reverse these instructions when re-assembling.

Problem Probable Cause Solution
Operator forcing the cable. Do not force the cable. Let the cutter do the work.
Too much slack between machine and drain. Do not allow more than six inches between machine and drain.
Cable used in wrong size drain line. A cable that is too large or too small in diameter for a line is more
likely to kink. (Consult Table 1—Cable Applications.)
Cable kinks or breaks.
Cable exposed to acid Clean and oil cables regularly.
Operator forcing the cable. Do not force the cable. Let the cutter do the work. Cable tangles in drum.
Machine run in reverse. Do not run machine in reverse to retract cable from drain. Use
reverse only if cable is caught in line.
Motor does not run. Trigger in neutral (off) position. Switch Trigger to either Forward or Reverse.
