How
It
Works
The
RAM
‐
PRO
Ream
‐
A
‐
Matic®
uses
a
brush
or
other
cleaning
tool
on
the
end
of
a
rotating,
nylon
‐
encased
flexible
steel
shaft.
As
the
operator
feeds
the
rotating
brush/shaft
assembly
through
the
tube,
the
brush
or
tool
loosens
any
deposits
(mud,
sand,
etc)
and
water
flows
through
the
casing
to
flush
them
out.
An
electronic
valve
automatically
opens
the
water
flow
only
when
shaft
is
rotating.
The
RAM
‐
PRO
is
designed
for
tubes
with
an
inside
diameter
between
1/4"
and
1"
(6.4/25.4mm).
Forward/Reverse
Foot
Pedal
•
The
direction
the
shaft
rotates
is
controlled
by
the
two
‐
way
foot
pedal.
•
Clockwise
rotation
facing
the
tube
is
considered
the
“Forward”
direction
•
Position
the
foot
pedal
like
the
gas
pedal
of
a
car
and
rock
your
foot
back
and
forth
to
control
direction.
Operation
•
Connect
water
hose
to
water
inlet.
Use
clean
water
supply.
Make
sure
screen
washer
is
in
place.
•
Open
water
supply
line.
Water
will
flow
through
the
flexible
shaft
assembly
only
when
the
machine
is
running.
DO
NOT
RUN
THE
UNIT
DRY
AS
THIS
MAY
DAMAGE
THE
SEAL!!
•
Plug
electric
cord
into
an
outlet
in
with
appropriate
voltage
and
amperage.
Test
the
GFCI
by
pushing
the
“Test”
button
and
then
the
“Reset”
button.
The
“POWER
ON”
light
should
light
up.
If

drive
manifold
of
the
machine
is
parallel

•
Select
proper
size
cleaning
tool
and
attach
to
end
of
flexible
shaft.
Never
use
a
tool
larger
than
I.D.
of
tube.
Note:
Most
tubes
are
rolled
outward
at
tube
sheet.
Always
measure
I.D.
beyond
roll
or
consult
manufacturer’s
manual
for
tube
O.D.
and
gauge.
•
Remove
footswitch
from
storage
compartment
and
place
it
in
a
convenient
position
for
operation.
•
Uncoil
flexible
shaft
completely
and
arrange
the
shaft
in
the
largest
loop
possible
to
minimize
“helixing”
(shaft
coiling
on
itself
under
power).
•
Position
the
stop
on
the
flexible
shaft
so
when
the
shaft
is
inserted
into
the
tube
up
to
the
stop
the
tip
of
the
cleaning
tool
is
clear
of
the
end
of
the
tube.
