Note:
The cable should lay in the drum in a
clockwise direction.
2. Remove the V-Belt.
3. Turn the drum clockwise with one
hand while pushing the cable into
the drum with the other.
4. Be certain that the cable goes into
the drum in a clockwise direction as
you look at the front of the machine,
or the cable will tangle in the drum.
5. Replace the V-Belt after cable is
installed.
SPECIAL OPERATIONS
IF CABLE GETS CAUGHT IN LINE
The motor can be reversed for a few seconds at a time to free the
cable if it gets caught in line. (Note: if using Power Cable Feed, put-
ting motor in reverse will cause the feed control lever to operate oppo-
site of normal.)
1. Hold momentary contact motor switch in the reverse position.
2. Step on the foot pedal while pulling on the cable.
3. After cable is loose, move the motor switch back into forward
position.
IF CABLE TANGLES IN DRUM
This is caused by using too much pressure, running the machine in
reverse, or a poorly lubricated or frozen roller in the feed. To untangle
the cable, rotate the drum in opposite direction (See Feed Mainte-
nance). This will usually get the cable to lie in the drum properly.
If the cable has become badly tangled, which shouldn’t occur if used
properly, it may be necessary to pull the entire cable out of the drum
and reinstall it. (See “How to Install Cable” section.)
HOW TO INSTALL CABLE IN DRUM
1. Connect the male end of the cable to the drum connecting cable
already attached to the drum.
DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER SOURCE
BEFORE INSTALLING CABLE IN DRUM!
DO NOT RUN MOTOR IN REVERSE FOR MORE THAN A
FEW SECONDS AT A TIME SINCE THIS COULD CAUSE
THE CABLE TO KINK OR TANGLE IN THE DRUM.
HOW TO REMOVE DRUM
1. Remove belt guard by loosening the knob above the motor and
pulling the guard forward.
2. Push the motor down far enough to slide the V-Belt off of the
drum.
3. Remove the cutter and connecting screw from the cable end.
4. Loosen the knob at the top of the Power Cable Feed.
5. Unscrew knob behind the front post and pull the Power Cable
Feed off of the machine.
6. With one hand on the cable, loosen
the knob on front post cap, then
open clamp. The Flexitube may
spring up out of the cap. (See Fig-
ure 1.)
7. Use a 3/4" socket with extension to
loosen and remove the drum retain-
ing bolt.
8. Tip the Speedrooter on its side.
9. Remove the drum retaining bolt with
3/4" socket with extension.
10. Stand behind the machine, lift the frame slightly off the ground,
and slide the frame away from the drum until the drum is off the
shaft.
11. Then, roll the drum away from the machine.

HOW TO INSTALL DRUM
1. Lay the machine frame on its side and roll the drum, with inner
drum installed, between the front post and drum shaft. Be sure
the front of the drum is facing the front post.
2. While standing behind the frame, line the drum shaft up with the
hole in the back of drum, slightly lift the frame, and slide the drum
shaft into the back of the drum until it contacts the thrust washer
on the shaft. Make sure the needle roller bearings inside the hub
of the drum stay in place.
3. Thread the drum retaining bolt into the drum shaft, just finger
tight.
4. Stand the machine upright, then tighten the retaining bolt with a
3/4” socket with extension. (See Figure 2)
