10. When the job is complete, feed the cable back into drum, making sure that your machine is
running, so that the distributor arm can feed and distribute cable in the drum properly.
KEEP MACHINE RUNNING in the forward direction.
WARNING: Never retract tool from sewer inlet while cable is rotating.
NOTE: It is recommended that a continuous flush of water be used to clean cable and tool as they
are retrieved.
11. When tool is close to the clean out opening, release foot actuator and allow machine to come to
a complete stop.
12. Move toggle switch to the “OFF” position and disconnect machine from power source.
13. Pull remaining cable and tool from the line and hand-feed cable back into the drum.
1. The adjusting knob on the top controls the tension on the cable. It should be set so that the cable
feeds freely in-and-out of the drum. Tension can be increased by turning handle to the right. Don’t
apply too much tension - just enough to keep the cable moving is sufficient.
2. Cable is fed into the line by putting the handle in forward position. This speed will vary from 0-30
feet per minute depending on size of the cable and how far forward you push the handle.
3. Cable is brought out of the line by putting the handle in reverse position. You can also vary the
speed in reverse.
4. When the handle is straight up, the drive is in neutral position. There is no lateral movement of
cable at this point. This enables the operator to position the blade against the stoppage and
chew it away if necessary.
5. Another feature of the Dial-A-Cable Power Cable Feed is its ability to change from FORWARD
to REVERSE by simply moving the handle. The feed reacts immediately.
6. New drive design permits repair right in the field. Entire unit can be taken apart and put back in
working order in just ten minutes.
WARNING: (1) Never try to force the cable in to the line. Choose a proper feeding speed that
gives a smooth cutting action. (2) Refer to operating and maintenance instructions for proper
maintenance.
