OPERATING TIPS
When Cable starts
to bend, twist or
whip.
Too much slack in Cable or cutter tool caught in stoppage. Re-
lease Foot Pedal, press Direction Lever down to temporarily re-
verse cable feed direction, and re-wind to relieve twist on Cable.
Pull Direction Lever up (FORWARD) to continue.
When Cable has
trouble getting
around tight bends
in drain pipe.
Press Motor Direction Switch (5) to Reverse while applying
steady pressure to Cable. Keep in mind that this will reverse auto
feed operation as well. Do for only a few seconds to pass bend.
More time could cause tangling or kinks in the Drum. If problem
persists, Cable is too large for pipe. Switch to a drain cleaner with
a smaller cable.
When Cable reach-
es clog in drain pipe.
Do not force Cable through stoppage. Press Direction Lever to
neutral position. Allow Cable to progress forward slowly, chew-
ing stoppage. Slow forward movement reduces stress on Cable,
while cleaning better. Try back and forth Cable movement, using
the Direction Lever (44-16).
