HOW TO REMOVE DRUM FROM MACHINE
DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER SOURCE BE-
FORE INSTALLING CABLES OR DRUMS!
1. Loosen the front post knob
and swing Power Cable Feed
out of the way.
2. Push down on the spring-
loaded motor and slide the V-
Belt off the back of the drum.
3. Reach behind the drum and
locate the drum-retaining
latch. Pull the latch to release
the drum shaft, then pull the
drum forward off of the ma-
chine.
4. To install the drum, simply slide drum onto machine. The latch
will lock automatically.
5. Remove the belt guard by loosening retaining knob on top. Posi-
tion the V-Belt around the drum, then press down on the motor
and slip V-belt onto the pulley. Be sure to reattach the belt guard.
6. Reposition the Power Cable Feed and tighten knob at base of
front post.
HOW TO INSTALL 3/8" AND 1/2" CABLES IN DRUM
DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER SOURCE BE-
FORE INSTALLING CABLES OR DRUMS!
To install cable in the drum, simply connect the male end of the cable
to the drum connecting cable, which is already attached to the drum.
Then remove the drum V-Belt and turn the drum clockwise, while
pushing the cable into the drum.
Note: The cable should lay in the drum in a
clockwise direction.
HOW TO USE J-DRUM
(Optional—Cat. #MR-250)
The J-Drum holds 50 feet of 1/4‖ or 5/16‖ cable to be used when you
need to clear smaller, 1-1/4‖ to 2‖ lines. These cables have a basin
plug head that can be spun through most strainer crossbars. (See
Cable Application Chart—Table 1.)
DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER SOURCE BE-
FORE INSTALLING CABLES OR DRUMS!
1. To install cable, open chuck jaws fully so that cable will pass
through easily.
2. Slide the back end of the cable (opposite to the end with basin
head) through spout and into the drum. The cable will be easier
to install if you bend the last inch of cable at a 45-degree angle.
3. When working through difficult stoppages or tight bends, tighten
the chuck to provide more torque and to prevent the cable from
tangling in the drum.
4. Clean and lubricate chuck regularly to prevent corrosion.
HOW TO USE DUAL-DRUM
(Optional—Cat #MR-280)
The Dual-Drum holds two different diameter cables at the same time.
Inner and outer drum compartments protect the cable from tangling.
You can easily switch from 1/4‖ to 5/16‖ or 3/8‖ cables without remov-
ing either one from the drum.
DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER SOURCE BE-
FORE INSTALLING CABLES OR DRUMS!
1. Install 1/4‖ cable into the Dual-Drum by sliding the back end of
the cable (opposite to end with basin head) through spout and
into the inner drum. The cable will be easier to install if you bend
the last inch of cable at a 45-degree angle.
2. Install the 5/16‖ or 3/8‖ cable into the outer drum by sliding the
back end of the cable (opposite to the end with the Female con-
nector) through the spout. Reach one hand into the drum through
one of the two ports in the face of the drum and pull the cable
end to the left side of the outer drum. Then push another two feet
of cable into the drum while pulling the cable downward to form a
loop. The cable should lay in the drum in a clockwise direction.
3. Select the appropriate cable for the line you are working on. (See
Cable Application Chart—Table 1) If a 1/4‖ cable is required,
reach into the Dual-Drum and pull the cable out of the inner drum
and through the spout. If a larger cable is required, slide the 1/4‖
cable back though the spout, then reach into the drum and pull
the 5/16‖ or 3/8‖ cable from the outer drum through the spout.
4. Each of the cables can be ―chucked‖ in place to provide more
torque by pressing the knurled knob against the spring and tight-
ening it against the cable.
Note: Only use HE cables in Dual-Drum. Do not use EM cables.
