Pre-Operation Inspection

WARNING
Before each use, inspect your SeeSnake MINI Pak
and correct any problems to reduce the risk of se-
rious injury from electrical shock or other causes
and prevent machine damage.
1. Confirm that the power is off, any external power
and cords are disconnected, and the battery is re-
moved. Inspect the cords, cables and connectors
for damage or modification.
2. Clean any dirt, oil or other contamination from the
SeeSnake MINI Pak to aid in inspection and to prevent
the unit from slipping from your grip while transporting
or using.
3. Inspect the MINI Pak for any broken, worn, missing,
misaligned or binding parts, or any other condition
which might prevent safe, normal operation.
4. Inspect any other equipment being used per its in-
structions to make sure it is in good usable condition.
5. If any problems are found, do not use the unit until the
problems are corrected.

electrical shock, fire, and other causes, and to pre-
vent damage to the MINI Pak .
1. Check work area for:
• Adequate lighting.
• Flammable liquids, vapors or dust that may ignite.
If present, do not work in area until sources have
been identified and corrected. The MINI Pak is not
explosion proof. Electrical connections can cause
sparks.
• Clear, level, stable dry place for operator. Do not use
the machine while standing in water.
• Clear path to electrical outlet, that does not contain
any potential sources of damage for the power
cord, when using external power.
2. Inspect the work to be done if possible, determine the
drain access point(s), size(s) and length(s), pres-
ence of drain cleaning chemicals or other chemi-
cals, etc. If chemicals are present, it is important to
understand the specific safety measures required to
work around those chemicals. Contact the chemi-
cal manufacturer for required information.
3. Determine the correct equipment for the application.
The SeeSnake MINI Pak is made to view inspec-
tions done with an inspection camera. Inspection
equipment for other applications can be found by
consulting the Ridge Tool Catalog, online at
www.RIDGID.com or www.RIDGID.eu.
4. Make sure all equipment has been properly inspected.
5. Evaluate the work area and determine if any barriers
are needed to keep bystanders away. Bystanders can
distract the operator during use. If working near traf-
fic, erect cones or other barriers to alert drivers.
6. If needed, remove fixture (water closet, sink, etc.)
to allow access.

MINI Pak Placement

Place the MINI Pak to allow easy access and viewing
while manipulating the camera and pushrod for an in-
spection. Make sure that the location is not wet and will not
let the MINI Pak and other equipment get wet during use.
The MINI Pak is not waterproof and exposure to wet con-
ditions can cause electrical shock or equipment dam-
age.
Place camera and reel as instructed in their Operator's
Manual. Ensure the MINI Pak and cable reel are stable.

Front Cover/Tilt Stand

The MINI Pak front cover protects the unit during trans-
portation and storage. When operating in its horizontal po-
sition (not tilted), the front cover helps to reduce glare.
