INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE VAL 80 MANUAL DRAIN
CLEANING MACHINE ref.2912 00
The motor can be run in reverse mode to free the cable should it become stuck in the pipe. Use the following
procedure:
Cable stuck in the pipe
1.
Set the motor control switch to reverse position.
2.
Pull the cable as the drum turns in reverse.
3.
Once the cable is free return the motor control switch to forward mode.
This happens often when there is an excess of pressure applied on the cable when advancing or if the cable is
advancing with the machine in reverse mode. Turn the drum in the reverse direction to untangle the cable. If the
cable becomes excessively tangled, which should not happen if the machine is being used correctly, it may be
necessary to disconnect the distribution tube from the machine. The distribution tube is the curved hose that guides
the cable from the drum to the front of the machine.
Cable tangled in the drum
Remove it by unscrewing the bolts that hold the distribution tube funnel onto the front of the drum. Pull the funnel and
the distribution tube towards forwards then remove the tangled cable from the drum.
Once the cable has been untangled slide the funnel and distribution tube along the cable until it can be returned to its
original position and bolted to the front of the drum. Then roll any excess cable back on to the drum.
1.
There is a connector inside the drum which receives the rear-end of the cables. Turn the drum until this
connector is at the bottom.
How to install 12.7 and 9.5 mm cables on the drum
2.
Position the cable distributor tube such that it is curved to wards the bottom.
3.
Insert the cable into the drum until it is wound around it for almost an entire turn.
4.
Reach inside the drum and connect the cable to the connector.
5.
Remove the the drive belt and turn the reel clockwise with one hand whist feeding the cable into the drum with
the other.
1.
Remove the drive belt. You may relieve tension on the belt by applying pressure to the motor which is
spring-mounted.

Locate the holding latch behind the drum. Pull the drum forwards, whilst pulling on this latch to remove it from
the machine.

The drum can be replaced by repeating these manoeuvres in reverse order.
