INSTALLING THE GUIDE TUBE HOLDER 

 

1.  To  install  the  Guide  Tube  Holder  on  The  Metro,  follow  the  as-

sembly shown in the diagram below. Place the Guide Tube Hold-
er on the mounting knob, then thread it onto the bolt to secure 
the Power Cable Feed. (See diagram  below.) 

2.  To secure the end of the Guide Tube,  place it between the frame 

support tubes. 

3.  Bend the Guide Tube back into  the Holder so that it catches a 

coil near the end of the Guide Tube. (See photo below.)  

 

 

THE CABLE AND SPRING ARE UNDER TENSION 

WHEN ATTACHED TO THE HOLDER.  

USE CAUTION WHEN RELEASING THE GUIDE 

TUBE FROM THE HOLDER.  

1.  Place  machine  at  a  distance  not 

greater than two feet (.6m) from the 
drain  opening.  Be  sure  the  Speed-
rooter  Guide  Tube  (S92-GT)  is  in 
place.    If  you  can't  get  the  machine 
this  close  to  the  drain  opening,  run 
the cable through the optional Guide 
Tube  Extension  (GTE)  or  a  metal 
guide  tube  to  prevent  cable  whip-
ping.  

2.  Position the air foot pedal for easy accessibility. The machine is 

designed for one-person operation. Be sure you can quickly re-
move your foot from the pedal in an emergency.   

3.  Be sure the motor switch is in the 

off

 position. 

4.  Make sure the Power Cable Feed is set to match the cable size 

you have selected.  If you’re using 3/4" or 5/8” cables, the feed 

should be assembled with the raised side of the lower two caps 
outward.   

5.  Select  the  proper  cutting  tool  (See  Cutter  Application  Chart

Table  2).  A  good  tool  to  start  with  is  the  Spearhead  or  2”  U

-

Cutter.    If  you  are  having  difficulty  getting  around  a  P-Trap  or 
close  bend,  try  the  flexible  leader.    After  the  line  has  been 
opened, follow with larger blades, which scrape the inside edges 
of the pipe, assuring a real cleaning job. 

6.  Insert the cutter into the female connector at the end of the cable 

and  tighten  the  connecting  screw  and  lock  washer 

firmly

  in 

place.   

OPERATION 

SET-UP 

MAKE SURE THE MOTOR SWITCH IS IN  

THE ‘OFF’ POSITION!
