TO CHANGE CABLE CARTRIDGES
DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER
SOURCE BEFORE INSTALLING CABLES OR
1. Remove the cutter and connecting screw from the
cable, if one is attached.
2. Loosen three screws that hold front and back of con-
tainer together.
3. Pull the container front off of the machine, revealing
the cable cartridge within.
4. Remove the cable cartridge.
5. Press replacement cartridge firmly into back of con-
tainer. Make sure to line up the grooves in the car-
tridge with the slots in the container back.
6. Slide the cable through the container front.
7. Position the container
front so that the three
screws aligned with the
slots in the container
back. Press the con-
tainer front into the con-
tainer back.
8. Tighten screws firmly,
making sure the screw heads are centered in the
slots and flush with the container surface.
Maintenance
To keep your machine operating smoothly, it is essential
that all bearings and bushings be lubricated. Oiling mov-
ing parts is particularly important where machine comes
in contact with sand, grit and other abrasive material.

TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE (TABLE 3)
Problem
Cable kinks or breaks.
Cable tangles in container.
Motor does not run.
Motor turns in one direction
but not other.
For Parts List and Schematic Diagram, see pages 22 and 23.
DRUMS!
Probable Cause
Operator forcing the cable.
Too much slack between machine and drain. Do not allow more than six inches between machine and drain.
Cable used in wrong size drain line.
Cable exposed to acid
Operator forcing the cable.
Trigger in neutral (off) position.
Reverse switch failure.
CABLE MAINTENENCE
To get maximum service from your
cables, be sure that they are clean
and well oiled. This not only provides
running lubrication but greatly extends
the life of the cables as well. Some
users periodically pour oil directly into
the drum. Then, as the drum turns, the
cables get complete lubrication. Our
SNAKE OIL is ideally suited for this
purpose, since it not only lubricates
the cables, it deodorizes them as well.
TO CLEAN OR REPLACE GRIPPERS
If your Super-Vee is not gripping the cable properly, the
cable grippers may need to be cleaned or replaced.
1. Loosen the 3/8" set screws and the slotted screw in
the front collar.
2. Remove the front collar and slide off the grip shield.
3. Remove screws holding the cable grippers.
4. Clean or replace cable grippers.
5. Re-grease grippers and reassemble.
TO REMOVE MOTOR
1. Loosen the three screws that hold the container front
and back together.
2. Pull the container front off of the machine.
3. Loosen the two set screws in the beveled collar and
remove both the collar and the felt washer.
4. Slide a flat head screw driver into the Hub Spindle
and unscrew the Left Hand locking screw from the
drive shaft by turning it clockwise.
5. Unscrew the Hub Spindle from the Right Hand Drive
Shaft by rotating the container back counter-
clockwise. Note: The Hub Spindle, Hub, and Con-
tainer Back remain as one unit. The thrust bearing
will spin freely.
6. Reverse these instructions to re-assemble.
Solution
Do not force the cable. Let the cutter do the work.
A cable that is too large or too small in diameter for a line is more
likely to kink. (Consult Table 1—Cable Applications.)
Clean and oil cables regularly.
Do not force the cable. Let the cutter do the work.
Switch Trigger to either Forward or Reverse.
Replace reverse switch.
