5. Move the toggle switch to the forward position again, and continue
at Step 3 of the Operating Instructions.
DO NOT RUN MOTOR IN REVERSE FOR MORE THAN A
FEW SECONDS AT A TIME SINCE THIS COULD CAUSE
THE CABLE TO KINK OR TANGLE IN THE CAGE.
IF CABLE TANGLES IN CAGE
This is almost always caused by using too much pressure when feed-
ing the cable or by feeding the cable while running the machine in
reverse. To untangle, rotate cage in opposite direction. If cable has
become badly tangled, which will not happen when machine is used
properly, it may be necessary to pull the entire cable out of the cage
and re-install it (See "How to Install Cable").
DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER SOURCE
BEFORE INSTALLING CABLES OR CAGES!
HOW TO INSTALL CABLE IN CAGE
1. Connect male end of cable to the cage connecting cable already
attached to cage.
2. Remove V-Belt.
3. Turn cage clockwise with one hand while pushing cable into cage
with other hand.
4. Be sure cable goes into cage in clockwise direction as you look
at the front of the machine or cable will tangle in cage.
5. Replace V-Belt after cable is installed.
NOTE: The cable should lay in the cage in a
clockwise direction.
TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE (TABLE 3)
Problem
Cable kinking, tangling or breaking.
Cage stops while foot pedal depressed.
Restarts when pedal is re-depressed.
Cage turns in one direction but not
other.
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter trips
when machine is plugged in or when
foot pedal is depressed.

diameter.
Motor switched to reverse.
Cable exposed to acid.
Cable worn out.
Hole in pedal or hose.
Hole in diaphragm switch.
Faulty reverse switch or
momentary contact switch.
Frayed power cord.
Short circuit in motor.
Excess moisture in area.
Faulty Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter.

HOW TO EXCHANGE CAGES
1. Unscrew ring bolt in center of cage.
2. Lift belt guard off motor.
3. Push motor down far enough to slip V-Belt off.

5. Reverse procedure to install cage.
MAINTENANCE
DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER SOURCE
BEFORE PERFORMING MAINTENANCE!
To keep your machine operating smoothly, it is essential that all bear-
ings and distributor tube bushings be lubricated. Oiling moving parts is
particularly important where machine comes in contact with sand, grit
and other abrasive material.
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 cage.
Then, as the cage turns, the cables get com-
plete lubrication. Our SNAKE OIL is ideally
suited for this purpose, since it not only lubri-
cates the cables, it deodorizes them as well.
TANGLED CABLE:
If a cable loops over itself in the cage, it will
not feed properly. Remove and reload the cable to restore function. If
the cable kinks, it is evidence of abuse and results from the use of too
much pressure or use of the wrong size cable for the line. Do not
force the cable — let the cutter do the work.
Solution
Do not force the cable! Let the cutter do the work.
See Cable Application Chart.
Use reverse only if cable gets caught in pipe – only for a few seconds
at a time.
Clean and oil cables regularly.
Cable can be repaired using "Quick Fix" of "Repair Sleeve." If cable
has broken several times, replace it.
Replace damaged component.
If no problem found with pedal or hose, replace diaphragm switch.
Replace switch. Note: Momentary contact switch must be held in
position when using reverse.
Replace cord set.
Take motor to authorized service center (Call General for Details).
Remove excess moisture from area.
Replace Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter.
Do not force cable. Do not allow too much slack between cable and
machine.
Replace slip clutch.
