OPERATION
SET-UP
MAKE SURE THE MOTOR SWITCH IS IN
THE 'OFF' POSITION!
1.
Place machine at a dis-
tance not greater than two
feet (.6m) from the drain
opening. Be sure the
Speedrooter Guide Tube
(S92-GT) is in place.
you can't get the machine
this close to the drain
opening, run the cable
through the optional Guide
Tube Extension (GTE) or a metal guide tube to prevent cable
whipping.
2.
Position the air 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. Make sure the Power Cable Feed is set to match the cable size
you have selected. If you're using 3/4" or 5/8" cables, the feed
should be assembled with the raised side of the lower two caps
outward.
5. Select the proper cutting tool (See Cutter Application Chart—
Table 2). A good tool to start with is the Spearhead or 2" U-
Cutter. If you are having difficulty getting around a P-Trap or
close bend, try the flexible leader. After the line has been
opened, follow with larger blades, which scrape the inside edges
of the pipe, assuring a real cleaning job.

6. Insert the cutter into the female connector at the end of the cable
and tighten the connecting screw and lock washer firmly in
place.
OPERATION
1. Before stepping on the foot pedal, place the guide tube and cable
into the drain opening.
2. Tighten the knob at top of the Power Cable Feed so that the feed
roller presses against the cable. Be sure not to over tighten since
this could cause excess cable wear.
3. The feed lever controls the feeding rate and direction of the ca-
ble. Move the lever down to feed cable out of drum. The further
the lever is moved downward, the faster the cable will feed out.
Feed Pressure
Knob
Raised Cap
Move lever up to retract cable into drum. When the lever is in the
middle (neutral) position, cable will spin in place.
4. Move the motor switch to the forward position.
5. With a gloved hand on the Guide Tube, step on the air foot pedal
to start machine. Feed the cable into the line. Adjust the feeding
rate to the resistance met. Do not force the cable - let the cutter
do the work. The job won't go any faster and you could damage
the cable and you could injure yourself.
6. If the cable starts to buckle or twist, release pressure on the foot
pedal. Move the feed lever up and step on the foot pedal to re-
tract excess cable back into the drum, then continue.
7. If you're having trouble getting around tight bends, try putting the
machine in reverse for several seconds while applying steady
pressure. If your machine is equipped with a momentary contact
reverse switch, you must hold the switch in the reverse position.
8. If you still cannot get the cable getting around a bend, you may
be using too large a cable. Switch to a 5/8" cable, or smaller
machine. (See Cable Application Chart—Table 1)
9. When the cable reaches the stoppage, move the feed lever to-
ward neutral to allow the cable to progress forward slowly, chew-
ing into the stoppage as it goes. This slow forward movement will
reduce stress on the cable while doing a more thorough cleaning
job. A back and forth action often works best.
