Westward Operating Instructions and Parts Manual
22XP35, 22XP36, 22XP37
Drain Cleaning Guns
Operations for 22XP36 and 22XP37 with manual feeder:
1.
Put the Rotation Switch to FORWARD.
2.
Move the handgrip away from the drum to
release the Chuck that may grab the cable. With
a gloved hand, push the cable into the drain as
far as possible until resistance is felt.
3.
Make sure at least 12” of cable is in the drain and
the section of cable from the drain opening to
machine is within 12”.
4.
Move the handgrip to the drum with certain
force to let the Grabbing Chuck hold up the cable.
5.
Trigger the Power Switch to let the drum turn.
6.
Release the Power Switch
.
7.
Move the handgrip away from the drum to release the chuck from the cable.
8.
Grip the cable with your gloved hand to prevent it from pulling out of the drain and pull the
drain cleaner back to have more cable come out of the drum while making sure no more than
12" of cable is exposed. Repeat the above steps to continue advancing the cable in this manner.
9.
Feed the cable slowly and carefully when you notice the cable feed becomes slow or the cable
starts to wind or load up outside the drain. This is an indication of trap, elbow, soft build-up
materials like grease, or the actual blockage. Do not let cable build up outside the drain. Too
much cable fed into the drain may give a similar feeling.
10.
For tougher resistance, sharp thrusts of the cable - with or without rotation, can help the cable
through a trap. Running the drain cleaner in reverse rotation for several seconds while pushing
on the cable may also help with the feeding.
Only do this shortly and repeatedly. Running the machine in reverse for a long
period of time can damage the cable.
11.
If the end of the cable is stuck in the blockage, with the chuck gripping the cable, pull back on
the drain cleaner to free the cable end from the blockage. Applying momentary reverse
operation may help with the cable-freeing effort.
12.
Feed the freed cable end back into the blockage slowly and let the cutter work on the blockage
for a longer time with less force pushing on.
13.
Continue or repeat the above steps until the pipe is cleaned.
14.
To retract the cable, run water to help with the pulling.
15.
Put the Rotation Switch to FOR. Move the handgrip towards the drum to let the chuck grab the
cable. Pull the cable out of the drain while holding the Power Switch to let the drum rotate
slowly. The rotation makes the retrieving easier.
Do not let the cable expose more than 12”.
16.
Release the Power switch. Pull the handgrip forward to release the chuck from the cable. Grip
the cable with your gloved hand close to the drain opening (to prevent it from pushing back into
the drain) and push the cable back into the drum.
17.
Repeat the above steps to continue the retrieving process until the whole cable is out.
