TOILETS
Toilet bowls have an oval shaped opening that can make it difficult to
form a good seal around the 4" Rubber Cone. It often helps to stuff a
rag around the cone. A better solution is to use an optional Toilet At-
tachment (KR-CA).
To use the Toilet Attachment:
1. Remove the 4" Rubber Cone from the
end of the Water Ram.
2. Thread the Toilet Attachment onto the
end of the Ram. Tighten the Lock Nut
to secure the Toilet Attachment in
position.
3. Hold the Ram over the bowl and
press the Rubber Cone into the open-
ing. Tilt it back to allow the cone to
seat properly.
Start with a small amount of pressure at first to make sure splash
back is under control. Press down firmly, putting your weight behind
the Ram and snap trigger. If low pressure is not successful, increase it
in 10 lb. (1 bar) increments until the line has been cleared.
If the toilet is only partly blocked, by an object such as a toothbrush or
pencil, loosely wad up a page of newspaper and stuff it into the bowl.
When the Ram is fired, the balled-up newspaper will break up the
blockage and clear the line.
TWO TO FOUR INCH SEWERS
When the Water Ram is used at the cleanout or floor drain, connect
the Ram to an Expansion Plug. If you encounter a 4" floor drain that is
a bit oversized for the 4" Expansion Plug, wrap a piece of gasket rub-
ber around the expansion plug and make a snug fit before tightening
the plug.
Where there is more than one drain opening, always apply the Ram
where the water backs up first. Use the Check Valve Assembly to add
water to the line. (See "Clearing Slow Draining Sinks And Tubs.") Do
not discharge the Ram until the water appears on the floor at the next
opening. Other drain openings should be covered to protect against
splash back.
EXTREME BLOCKAGES
If the line is severely blocked, insert the Caulking Hose furnished with
Water Ram into the drain opening. An excellent seal can be made by
caulking the hose into the drain by means of a wet rag. Then, while
you hold the hose down, fire the Ram using 30 to 40 lbs (2 - 3 bars) of
pressure.
In extreme stoppages, remove the trap, attach a half-inch reducing
coupling to drain pipe and connect the Ram. Attach the Water Supply
Hose between faucet and Check Valve Assembly on Ram. Turn on
faucet so that vent is filled with water. Two or three feet of water in the
vent or stack should be sufficient to clear the blockage. Be sure to
turn off the faucet before firing the Ram. Apply 50 to 75 lbs. (3.5 - 5
bars) of pressure. If pumping becomes difficult, attach an external
compressor to the Schraeder valve. Do not exceed 80 lbs. (6 bars).
MAINTENANCE
The leather seal (G-15) in the Water Ram's pump should be oiled
every 3 to 6 months to keep it from drying out. This can be done by
lifting the pump rod up and then applying a few drops of neat's foot
oil, or synthetic equivalent, through the air hole.
The seals in the pump will wear with time and use. If the Ram has
difficulty holding pressure, you can easily replace all the seals at the
same time using the Ram Repair Kit (Cat # KRRK).
The best method for cleaning rubber accessories is to wash them in
hot water with soap or detergent.
