3. Clean any debris from the cable assembly
and chain knockers. Inspect sheath for
wear and damage. There should not be
any cuts, kinks, breaks or excessive wear.
Inspect the cable near the chain knocker.
Cable assemblies should not be bent
or deformed. Cable strands should be
tight to one another without separation.
Inspect chain knocker for damage and
wear of the chain itself. If chain links are
worn more than ¼ through or damaged,
replace the chain knocker. Replace worn
and damaged equipment before using
drain cleaning machine.
Confirm that the chain knocker is properly
set up and is secure on the cable.
4. Inspect the battery powered drill per its
instructions. Make sure that the drill is in
good operating condition and the switch
controls the drill operation. Confirm that
the drill meets the requirements in the
Specifications section and is properly set
for use with the machine.
5. Inspect and maintain any other equip-
ment being used per its instructions to
make sure it is functioning properly.

cation. Do not use the Drain Cleaning
Machine while standing in water.
2. Inspect the drain to be cleaned. If possi-
ble, determine the access point(s) to the
drain, the size(s), length(s), and materi-
al(s) of the drain, distance to mainlines,
the nature of the blockage, presence of
drain cleaning chemicals or other chemi-
cals, etc.
If chemicals are present in the drain, it
is important to understand the specific
safety measures required to work around
those chemicals. Contact the chemical
manufacturer for required information.
Confirm no other utilities are present in
the drain or area to reduce the risk of
damage. Visual inspection of the drain
with a camera is a good practice.
If needed, remove fixture (water closet,
etc.) to allow access to drain. Do not run
the chain knocker in a fixture. This could
damage the FlexShaft Machine or the
fixture.
