How to Repair
1/4” and 5/16” Cables
Operating a Power
Driven Cleaning Tool
All 1/4” and 5/16” cables can be repaired with a replacable end. If you kink your cable, cut the cable o
at the kinked portion. Grind the end of same to provide a lead thread. Now, pick up your repair end and
thread same on the regular cable, as you would a nut on a bolt, turning same about three turns, which will
fasten it to the cable securely. Repair ends can be purchased at www.spartantool.com.
1. Stay close to pipe opening, (ideally 12” if possible) during operations especially when rounding
ttings or removing stoppage in lines.
2. Move your cable backwards and forwards constantly when you get into stoppage, thereby preventing
your cable from getting “hung-up”, causing unnecessary kinkage. Remember - a rotating cable cannot
kink or break. Kinkage of cable takes place only when the working end of the cable gets “hung-up”
and you keep on twisting the other end.
3. Don’t attempt to round ttings or remove stoppage until your drum reaches full speed. It is the rotation
of the cable that enables it to either (a) round ttings, or (b) remove stoppage - NOT push power.
