OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
Set-Up
1. Open the air & water supply valves (air only if air-purge). Holding the motor with the
threaded shaft end away from you, slowly depress the trigger. The threaded shaft (31)
should rotate & water (or air if air-purge) should exit the opening in the threaded shaft.
The flow of the water (or air) should increase as the motor RPM increases. If this does not
occur, recheck hose connections, or refer to “Troubleshooting” on page 14.
2. After attaching the motor coupling, the motor shafting, the extension shafting (if req’d.),
and the cleaning attachment (drill or brush), insert the shaft into the tube I.D.. (NOTE: DO
NOT activate the motor while the shaft end is outside the tube. Doing so could result
in serious injury.) Maximum length of shafting outside of the tube during the cleaning
process is 5 ft. (1.5M).
(NOTE: If tubes are completely blocked by deposit close to the tube sheet, it is recommended that
only a 5 ft. (1.5M) motor shaft be used to clean all of the blocked tubes. Additional 5 ft. (1.5M) shaft
extensions can be added for deeper cleaning requirements. Operating the cleaner in completely
blocked tubes with a shaft length extending outside of the tube greater than 5 ft. (1.5M) from the tube
sheet can result in excessive whipping of the shaft, which could cause serious injury to the operator
and/or bystanders.) If a length of shafting exceeding 5 ft. (1.5M) must be used then support must be
provided for the shafting.
(NOTE: DO NOT support shafting with your hands. Keep hands & clothing clear of rotating shaft &
components to avoid serious injury.) An acceptable means of support for the shafting would be a tube
guide that is supported by a height-adjustable stand.
