Super-Vee™
CABLE MAINTENENCE
To get maximum service from your
cables, be sure that they are clean
and well oiled. This not only provides
running lubrication but greatly extends
the life of the cables as well. Some
users periodically pour oil directly into
the drum. Then, as the drum turns, the
cables get complete lubrication. Our
SNAKE OIL is ideally suited for this
purpose, since it not only lubricates
the cables, it deodorizes them as well.
TO CLEAN OR REPLACE GRIPPERS
If your Super-Vee is not gripping the cable properly, the
cable grippers may need to be cleaned or replaced.
1. Loosen the 3/8” set screws and the slotted screw in
the front collar.
2. Remove the front collar and slide off the grip shield.
3. Remove screws holding the cable grippers.
4. Clean or replace cable grippers.
5. Re-grease grippers and reassemble.
TO REMOVE MOTOR
1. Loosen the three screws that hold the container front
and back together.
2. Pull the container front off of the machine.
3. Loosen the two set screws in the beveled collar and
remove both the collar and the felt washer.
4. Slide a flat head screw driver into the Hub Spindle
and unscrew the
Left Hand
locking screw from the
drive shaft by turning it clockwise.
5. Unscrew the Hub Spindle from the
Right Hand
Drive
Shaft by rotating the container back counter-
clockwise.
Note: The Hub Spindle, Hub, and Con-
tainer Back remain as one unit.
The thrust bearing
will spin freely.
6. Reverse these instructions to re-assemble.

TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE (TABLE 3)
Problem
Probable Cause
Solution
Cable kinks or breaks.
Operator forcing the cable.
Do not force the cable. Let the cutter do the work.
Too much slack between machine and drain.
Do not allow more than six inches between machine and drain.
Cable used in wrong size drain line.
A cable that is too large or too small in diameter for a line is more
likely to kink. (Consult Table 1—Cable Applications.)
Cable exposed to acid
Clean and oil cables regularly.
Cable tangles in container. Operator forcing the cable.
Do not force the cable. Let the cutter do the work.
Motor does not run.
Trigger in neutral (off) position.
Switch Trigger to either Forward or Reverse.
Motor turns in one direction
but not other.
Reverse switch failure.
Replace reverse switch.
Maintenance
To keep your machine operating smoothly, it is essential
that all bearings and bushings be lubricated. Oiling mov-
ing parts is particularly important where machine comes
in contact with sand, grit and other abrasive material.
