Operating Instructions
Preparing Machine for Operation
CAUTION: It is very important to know approximate
distance from inlet to main sewer or septic tank.
Overrunning cable too far into main sewer or septic tank
can cause cables to knot up and prevent their return
through small lines. If main is 300 mm or larger and standard
32 mm cable is being used, do not allow more than 10 to
15 feet of overrun. When working into a septic tank do not
allow more than 3 to 5 feet overrun.
1. Position machine one or two feet from line opening
and attach guide hose at rear of machine.
2. Insert fi rst cable into front of machine, (female coupling
fi rst from front of machine), and push through guide
hose until a foot or so remains out front of machine.
WARNING! Never couple more than one cable at a time.
3. Snap on cutter or auger, check coupling, make sure it
is secure.
NOTE! The speed coupler (Figure 1) is the easiest method of
changing tools and cables. Speed couplers can be added to
all existing tools and cables.

Whenever running cable through traps and lines, be sure
there is water running to prevent cables from heating up.

and plug power cord into a properly grounded
receptacle.Test the PRCD for proper operation before
using the machine.
2. To start through a 4" "P" trap, push cable by hand as far
as it will go.
3. Pull enough extra cable through machine to form
almost a half circle between machine and trap.
4. Hold cable loosely in mittened hand (left Hand), put
FOR/OFF/REV Switch in FOR (forward) position.
NOTE! The motor will start but cable will remain free and
idle.
