K-40 Drain Cleaner

Autofeed

A drop of grease to the following areas once a month will
extend the life of the Autofeed unit and keep it well main-
tained.
a. Top of Large Top Adjustment Screw
b. Threads on Bottom of Top Adjustment Screw
c. Outside Diameter of Top Roller Holder housing
There are no grease fittings to worry about, however, the
autofeed will accumulate dirt, grease and debris over time.
It is a good idea to periodically remove the autofeed unit
and clean with cleaning solvent and a firm brush.
It is also a good idea to apply a light grease once a
week, to the autofeed roller bearing surface. This will ex-
tend the life of the bearings and keep them free to operate
properly.

Machine Storage

WARNING Motor-driven equipment must be kept in-
doors or well covered in rainy weather. Store the drain
cleaner in a locked area that is out of reach of children and
