Operating Machine in Reclined Position

The machine can be operated in the reclined position to
access overhead waste lines. The K-7500 provides two
angles of operation. The lowest angle occurs when the
machine rests on its handles. A more moderate angle of
operation occurs when the machine rests on the stair
climber in the upright position.
WARNING If sewer inlet is greater than 3' from the
front of the machine, the cable will have a greater ten-
dency to twist or kink. Use a front guide hose or properly
support exposed cable.

2. Loosen the top AUTOFEED knob to make sure the
top bearing is not in contact with the cable and re-
move the cutter.
3. Loosen the two T-shaped mounting knobs located on
the drum side of the AUTOFEED assembly. It is not
necessary to remove the knobs, just loosen enough

support. Slide the assembly off the cable also.

tension and slip the belt off the drum (Figure 18) .
