Westward Operating Instructions and Parts Manual
Operation
Always wear safety glasses, gloves, and other appropriate protective equipment when
operating your drain cleaner.
Set‐up
1. Place machine within approximately 2
feet from drain opening. If you cannot
place the machine close to the drain
opening, run the cable through the
optional Cable Guide attached to the
optional Cable Feeder or a metal guide
tube to prevent cable whipping. On
manual feed machines, always keep a
gloved hand on the cable.
2. Position the Foot Switch for easy
accessibility. The machine is designed
for one‐person operation. Be sure you
can quickly remove your foot from the
Foot Switch in an emergency.
3. Be sure the motor power switch is set
to OFF position.
4. Select the proper cutting tool (See
Accessories). A good tool to start with
is the Arrow Head or Boring Bulb Cutter.
After the pipe is opened, follow with larger blades, which scrape the inside wall of the pipe,
assuring a real cleaning job.
5. Slide the male end of the cutter into the female end of the cable until there is a click sound.
Operation without Cable Feeder
1. Begin by pulling the cable from the drum and sliding it at least one foot into drain, so that
the end of the cable will not come out of the drain and whip around when the machine is
started.
2. Do not leave too much slack on the cable because this will cause whipping. If the cable
starts to bend or build up too much twist, relieve the twist by turning on the opposite
direction. Push any excess cable back into the drum and then continue.
3. Set the Rotation Switch (See figure in Page 5) to FOR position. Hold the cable by gloved
hand and press the Foot Switch with one foot to start the drum rotation. Feed the rotating
cable slowly into the drain by pushing the cable toward the drain.
The person controlling the cable must also control the foot switch. Do not
operate the drain cleaner with one person controlling the cable and another person
controlling the switch. This can cause the cable to kink, twist and break, which can also
cause serious personal injury.
4. Do not let the cutter get caught in the stoppage as you work through it. This can cause
kinking and breaking of the cable. When you feel the cable starting to twist in your hands,
stop the machine by releasing the Foot Switch and pull the cable back. This will free the
cutter from the obstruction. Then allow the cable to move forward slowly into the
stoppage. Remember, no cutting takes place when the blades stop turning.
