direction. 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 nec-
essary to pull the entire cable out of the drum
and reinstall it. (See “How to Install Cable” sec-
tion.)
HOW TO INSTALL CABLE IN DRUM
WARNING: DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POW-
ER SOURCE BEFORE INSTALLING CABLE IN DRUM!
1. Connect the male end of the cable to the
drum connecting cable already attached to the
drum.
2. Remove the V-Belt.
3. Turn the drum
clockwise with one
hand while push-
ing 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.
NOTE: The cable should lay in the drum in a
clockwise direction.
HOW TO REMOVE DRUM
1. Remove belt guard by loosening the knob
above the motor.
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. Unscrew knob behind the front post and pull
the Power Cable Feed off of the machine.
5. With one hand on the
cable, loosen the knob
on front post cap, then
open cap. The Flexitube
will spring up out of the
cap. (See Figure 1.)
6. Unscrew the ringbolt in the center of the
drum and slide the drum off of the drum shaft
and lift it out of the way.
HINT: An easier way to remove the drum is by
tipping the Drum machine on its side, opposite
the brake handle, and rolling the drum off of
the machine.
HOW TO INSTALL DRUM
WARNING: DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM
POWER SOURCE BEFORE INSTALLING DRUM!
1. Hang V-Belt from motor pulley. (64” belt for
the large drum, 57” for the small.)
2. Slide the drum and inner drum cage onto the
drum shaft. (See Figure 2.)

washer into the threads at the end of the drum
shaft.
4. Pull about 12” of
cable out beyond the
front post, then guide
the Flexitube into the
front post cap. (Fig.3)
5. With one hand on the cable in front of the
front post, push the cable down to secure the
Flexitube in position within the clamp. Make
sure the Flexitube seats properly over the guide
pin in the base of the clamp.
6. Then, close the clamp and tighten the knob
with the other hand.
MAINTENANCE
IMPORTANT: DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM
POWER SOURCE BEFORE PERFORMING MAINTE-
NANCE!
To keep your machine operating smoothly, it is
essential that all bearings be lubricated. Oiling
moving parts is particularly important where
machine comes in contact with sand, grit and
other abrasive material.
CABLE MAINTENANCE
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 com-
plete lubrication.
FEED MAINTENANCE
Keep feed free of excessive soil and grit. It is rec-
ommended that the feed be flushed with fresh
water followed by a light oiling of the moving
parts. No disassembly is normally required. Fail-
