Cable Application Chart (Table 1)
Cable Size
Pipe Size
1/4"
1-1/4" to 2"
Small lines, tubs, and shower drains.
5/16"
1-1/2" to 2"
Sinks, basins, and small drains.
3/8"
2" to 3"
Stacks, toilets, small drains (No Roots).
The 1/4" and 5/16" diameter cables with EL Basin plug heads can be spun
through most strainer crossbars and work well in lines blocked by soft stop-
pages such as hair, soap, fats, etc.
Maximum Capacity: 50 ft. of 1/4" or 5/16" cable, or 35 ft. of 3/8" cable.

OPERATION
SET-UP
DISCONNECT MACHING FROM POWER SOURCE
BEFORE ATTACHING CUTTER!
1.
Slide the connector over the spout until the spring pops into
place.
2.
The cable may have an EL-Basin plug head on the end to help
the cable around tight bends, or it may have a connector for at-
taching cutters to the end.
3.
To attach a cutter, first unplug the machine. Then, remove the
screw and lock washer from the connector at the end of the ca-
ble. Slide the cutter into the slot, then replace the lock washer
and connecting screw. Tighten the screw firmly.
4.
The Boring Gimlet and Arrow Head are good cutters to start with.
Change to the larger cutters after you've gotten the water flow-
ing.
5.
Position the machine so that the guide hose can be placed within
6 in. (15 cm) of the drain opening without excessive bending of
the guide hose.
Note: Avoid sharp bends or kinking of the guide hose by repositioning
the machine. The Drain-Rooter PH is designed to be positioned ei-
ther horizontally or vertically to facilitate this.
Typical Applications
Typical Applications
Ideal for heavy cutting and
AH
scraping.
More flexibility than Arrow
FAH
Head; can take sharp turns in
small lines.
To remove or retrieve loose
BG
objects.
Leads cable down drain line
rather than up vent or across
tee.
Works well in grease stop-
pages, scrapes walls of pipe.
OPERATION
1.
Plug machine into a properly grounded outlet.
2.
Make sure the Forward/Off/Reverse switch is in the FORWARD
position.
3.
Tighten the knob on top of the variable speed power cable feed
so that the feed roller presses against the cable. Be sure not to
over tighten since this could cause excessive cable wear.
4.
The feed lever controls the feeding rate and direction of the ca-
ble. Move the feed lever down to feed the cable out of the drum.
The farther 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.
5.
Place the cable end and cutter into the drain opening.
6.
With a hand on the guide hose, start the machine by stepping
slowly but firmly on the foot pedal. The harder you press on the
pedal, the faster the motor will rotate and the faster the cable will
feed.
7.
Feed the cable slowly. Use both the foot pedal and power cable
feed to adjust feeding speed as resistance is met. Don't feed
faster than the cable can go into the drain. Too much cable be-
tween the guide hose and drain will cause whipping and kinking.
DO NOT ALLOW TOO MUCH SLACK IN THE CA-
BLE BETWEEN MACHINE AND DRAIN OPENING
SINCE THIS CAN CAUSE CABLE WHIPPING.
8.
If the cable starts to bend or build up too much twist, take your
foot off the pedal and rotate the drum in the opposite direction to
relieve the twist on the cable. Push any excess cable back into
the drum and then continue.
9.
When the cable reaches the stoppage, put the feed in neutral.
Then allow the cable to progress slowly, chewing into the stop-
page 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 usually works best.
DO NOT USE TOO MUCH FORCE –
LET THE CUTTER DO THE WORK.
