Machine Care
Motor driven equipment must be kept indoors or well
covered in rainy weather. If machine has been exposed to
freezing weather, unit must be run for ten or twenty minutes
without load to warm up. Failing to do this will result in
frozen bearings. If machine is exposed to weather for a
period of time, moisture will form across motor windings
causing motor to burn out. Such an occurance, due to
neglect, will jeopardize your warranty of equipment.
Cables
Cables should be thoroughly fl ushed with water to prevent
damaging eff ects of drain cleaning compounds. Periodically,
lubricate cables and couplings with oil.
When not in use, store cables indoors to prevent deterioration
by the elements.
Cables should be replaced when they become severely
corroded or worn. A worn cable can be identifi ed when
outside coils of cable become fl at.
Service & Repair
If any maintenance is required other than that outlined, the
tool should be sent to a RIDGID Independent Authorized
Service Center or returned to the factory. All repairs made
by Ridge service facilities are warranted against defects in
material and workmanship.
