How to Assemble
Remove drum and power unit from cartons.
Step 1 Set power unit in vertical position. (See picture on front page)
Step 2 Mount drum on power unit. Lock drum to power unit by tightening (2) thumb screws. (Thumb
screw shoulder must enter hole in collar before tightening.)
Step 3 Loosen (3) wing nuts on motor mount plate. Put V-belt around pulley and drum. Move motor
mounting plate until V-belt is rm. If the belt is too tight, machine will not operate. Tighten (3) wing nuts.
1. Insert proper size of cable in machine. Use open hook cables in up to 1 1/2” lines, use 5/16” innercore
cable for 1 1/2” to 2” lines.
WE DO NOT RECOMMEND USING YOUR 1/4” CABLE IN LINES LARGER THAN 1 1/2” IN DIAMETER.
2. Place unit close to pipe opening (ideally 12” if possible).
3. Pull out enough cable to enter waste line or cross bar.
4. Position switch in Forward (F) position. Don’t reverse motor or use Reverse Action Switch until
machine comes to dead stop and then only to remove cable through cross bar.
5. Depress foot switch pedal, causing cable to rotate through cross bar or into pipe opening. (Forward
only).
6. Take 6” to 8” length of cable, and slowly feed it into the line giving the cable time to round ttings and
to remove stoppage.
7. When motor slows up, indicating a load on same, pull cable back a bit and start moving it forwards
and backwards. This reciprocating action keeps the cable rotating - keeps cable from getting “hung-
up” - the main cause of cable kinkage or breakage.
8. If cable gets “hung-up”, stop your machine and reverse the direction of same through Reverse Switch,
pulling back as you do so to free working end of cable.
WARNING: Do not use Reverse Switch until you motor unit comes to dead stop!
9. Repeat this action as often as necessary to clean the line.
10. When job is completed, feed all cable back into drum 6” to 8” at a time - DON’T take long bites.
11. You must reverse rotation of the drum to remove cable through a crossbar.
12. You may drain the drum of excess liquids by removing the drain plug which is the smaller hex bolt on
the back of the drum.
