Operating Procedure (cont'd)
6. Uncoil flexible shaft completely and feed it into the tube. DO NOT FORCE SHAFT DOWN
TUBE. Allow machine to do the work. If resistance is felt, back off 2"-3" (50-75mm) and
feed shaft again until it goes easily. If resistance is too great, use a smaller cleaning tool.
7. For easiest operation, if possible, insert shaft into tube and keep there for several hours
before starting in order to remove loops from flexible shaft.
CAUTION: Minimum operating radius of flexible shaft is eighteen inches. However, it is
recommended that the shaft be kept as free from loops as possible. This is especially
critical nearest the drive unit.
8. After completing the job, always unplug machine before disconnecting water supply.
Running a shaft "dry" may damage the seals.
CAUTION: The IRAM-EX-100 is designed to be used wet or dry – NOT BOTH. It is
equipped with a water seal. If used dry, the water seal will no longer prevent water leakage.
Forward/Reverse Foot Pedal
• The direction the shaft rotates is controlled by the two-way foot pedal.
• Clockwise rotation is considered the "Forward" direction
• Position the foot pedal like the gas pedal of a car and rock your foot back and forth to
control direction.
Maintenance
Keep machine clean and dry to maximize performance and longevity. Follow maintenance
outlined in this manual, such as checking for weak spots, leaks, slices or cuts in hose,
replace shafts when worn. Additional maintenance details follow in this manual. If the
machine does not operate properly or has been damaged or exposed to water, call the
factory for assistance – do not try to service the unit yourself.
Storage
Disconnect water supply line. Disconnect the flexible shaft and drain water to prevent rusting
of shaft. Do not store machine where residual water in machine may freeze. Refer to Flexible
Shaft manual for flexible shaft storage.
