Post-Operation Maintenance
1. Drain water from drum. Your model is equipped with
a drain hole in the cable drum. Water, sediment and
debris can corrode cable – remove the drum from the
machine (see “To Remove Drum from Frame” below)
and place it face down to allow all the water to drip
out. This should be done after every use.
