OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Set-Up
1. Place machine within ap-
proximately two feet (.6m) of
drain opening. Be sure the
Mini-Rooter XP Guide Tube
Feed
(XP-GT) is in place. If you
can't place the machine this

run the cable through the
optional Guide Tube Exten-
Lever
sion (GTE) or a metal guide
tube to prevent cable whip-
ping. On manual feed ma-
chines, always keep a gloved
hand on the cable.
2. Position the foot pedal for easy accessibility. The machine is
designed for one-person operation. Be sure you can quickly re-
move your foot from the pedal in an emergency.
3. Be sure the motor switch is in the off position.
4. Select the proper cutting tool (See Cutter Application Chart—
Table 2). A good tool to start with is the Arrow Head or Boring
Gimlet. After the line is opened, follow with larger blades, which
scrape the inside edges of the pipe, assuring a real cleaning job.
5. Insert the cutter into the female connector at the end of the 3/8"
or 1/2" cable and tighten the connecting screw and lock washer

since this could cause excess cable wear. Note: The Power Ca-
ble Feed is designed for use with 3/8" and 1/2" cables only.
3. The feed lever controls the feeding rate and direction of the ca-
ble. Move the lever down to feed the cable out of the drum. The
further the lever is moved downward, the faster the cable will
feed out. Move the lever up to retract the cable into the drum.
When the lever is in the middle (neutral) position, the cable will
spin in place.
