WARNING: DO NOT USE REVERSE TO PULL
CABLE OUT OF THE DRAIN. ALWAYS RUN YOUR
MACHINE IN FORWARD, WHETHER YOU ARE
FEEDING THE CABLE INTO THE LINE OR PULLING
IT OUT. USE REVERSE ONLY TO RELEASE CABLE
IF IT SHOULD BECOME CAUGHT IN THE LINE.
TIP: it is often useful
to have a small flow
of water in the line to
remove
debris
from
cuts while the machine
is in operation and
thereafter.
TO CHANGE CABLE CARTRIDGES
1. Remove the cutter and screw from the cable,
if one is attached.
2. Loosen the three screws that hold the front
and back of container together.
3. Pull the container off the front of machine.
4. Remove the cartridge. Press replacement
cartridge firmly into back of container. Make
sure to line up grooves in the cartridge with
slots in the container back.
5. Slide cable through the front of the container.
Be sure the grip shield is in the forward position.
Position container front so that the screws and
slots in the container back are aligned.
6. Tighten screws firmly, making sure they are
centred in the slots, and tightened so that the
heads of the screws are flush with the container.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING: DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM
POWER SOURCE BEFORE SERVICING.
To keep your machine operating smoothly,
it is essential that all bearings and cables be
lubricated. Oiling moving parts is particularly
important where machine comes into contact
with sand, grit and other abrasive material.
To get maximum service from your cables, be
sure they are well oiled. Some users periodically
pour oil directly into the container, Then as
the container turns, the cables get complete
lubrication, our snake oil is ideal for this
E N G L I S H •
purpose since it not only lubricates the cables; it
disinfects and deodorizes them as well.
TO CLEAN OR REPLACE GRIPPERS
If your Sink Machine is not gripping the cable
properly, the cable grippers may need to be
cleaned or replaced.
1. Loosen 3/8" set screws 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. Pull the cable out of the container.
2. Loosen the three screws that hold the front
and back of container together.
3. Pull the container off the front of machine.
4. Loose set screws in bevelled collar and remove
both the collar and the felt washer.
5. 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.
6. Unscrew the Hub Spindle from the Right
Hand Drive Shaft by rotating the container back
counter-clockwise.
Note: the Hub Spindle, Hub, and Container Back
remain as one unit, Thrust Bearing will come
free.
7.
Reverse
these
assembling.
TROUBLESHOOTING
CABLE KINKS
Operator forcing the cable. Do not force the
cable. Let the cutter do the work.
Too much slack between machine and drain.
Allow no more than six inches between machine
and drain.
Cable used in wrong size drain line. A cable that
is too large or too small a diameter for a line is
more likely to kink.
FAILURE TO FEED
Frozen or worn rollers. Clean debris from
around rollers. If rollers do not turn, cable will
not feed. Badly worn rollers must be replaced.
Cable tangled in container. Do not retract end
of cable into feed rollers. Open container and
untangle cable. Make sure to use proper size
cable for the job.
MOTOR DOES NOT RUN
Trigger in neutral (off) position. Switch Trigger
to either Forward or Reverse.
