Work Area and Equipment Set Up

WARNING
Set up the LT1000 and work area according to these
procedures to reduce the risk of injury from electri-
cal shock, fire and other causes, and to prevent dam-
age to the LT1000.
1. Check work area for:
• Adequate lighting.
• Flammable liquids, vapors or dust that may ig-
nite. If present, do not work in area until sources
have been identified and corrected. The LT1000
is not explosion proof. Electrical connections can
cause sparks.
• Clear, level, stable dry place for operator. Do not
use the machine while standing in wa ter.
• Clear path to electrical outlet, that does not con-
tain any potential sources of damage for the
power cord, when using external power.
2. Inspect the work to be done if possible, determine
the drain access point(s), size(s) and length(s), pres-
ence of drain cleaning chemicals or other chemi-
cals, etc. If chemicals are present, it is important to
under stand the specific safety measures required
to work around those chemicals. Contact the
chemical manufacturer for required information.
3. Determine the correct equipment for the application.
The SeeSnake LT1000 is made to view inspections
done with an inspection camera. Inspec tion equip-
ment for other applications can be found by consult-
ing the RIDGID Catalog, online at www.RIDGID.com
or www.RIDGID.eu.
4. Make sure all equipment has been properly in-
spected.
5. Evaluate the work area and determine if any barri-
ers are needed to keep bystanders away. Bystand-
ers can distract the operator during use. If working
near traffic, erect cones or other barriers to alert
drivers.
6. If needed, remove fixture (water closet, sink, etc.) to
allow access.

LT1000 Placement

Position the SeeSnake Reel at the work site before
mounting the laptop onto the LT1000. To access the
carrying handle for the SeeSnake Reel, fold the platform
wings back on both sides of the LT1000. The retaining
cord may be routed under the platform and hooked to
the cord hooks for transport.
Place the reel and LT1000 to allow easy access and
viewing while manipulating the camera and pushrod
for an inspection. Make sure that the location is not wet
and will not let the LT1000 and other equipment get
wet during use. The LT1000 is not waterproof and ex-
posure to wet conditions can cause electrical shock or
equipment damage.

Mounting the Laptop

1. Loosen the retaining cord by turning the capstan
clockwise.
2. Place the laptop squarely on the laptop platform
with the keyboard toward the LT1000 keypad.
3. Route the elastic retaining cord over the laptop
and hook it over the cord hooks, routing the cord
so as not to interfere with the laptop's operation.
4. Rotate the capstan handle counter-clockwise to
tighten the retaining cord firmly.
5. Lead the LT1000 USB cord to the laptop's USB port
and plug it into the port. Wrap any excess cord onto
the USB cord wraps. (See Figure 7.)
