This machine is made to clean
drains. If properly used it will not damage a
drain that is in good condition and properly
designed, constructed and maintained. If the
drain is in poor condition, or has not been
properly designed, constructed and main-
tained, the drain cleaning process may not be
effective or could cause damage to the drain.
The best way to determine the condition of
a drain before cleaning is through visual in-
spection with a camera. Improper use of this
drain cleaning machine can damage the drain
cleaning machine and the drain. This machine
may not clear all blockages.
