OPERATION

SET-UP
MAKE SURE THE MOTOR SWITCH IS IN
THE „OFF‟ POSITION!
1.
Place machine at a
distance not greater
than two feet from the
drain opening.
sure the Speedrooter
Guide Tube (S91-GT)
is in place. If you
can't get the machine
this close to the drain
opening, run the cable
through the optional Guide Tube Extension (GTE) or
a metal guide tube to prevent cable whipping.
2.
Position the air foot pedal for easy accessibility. The
machine is designed for one-person operation. Be
sure you can quickly remove your foot from the pedal
in an emergency.
3. Lock the wheels by lifting the brake handle located
next to the left wheel and pressing it into the clip.
4. Be sure the motor switch is in the off position.
5. Make sure the Power Cable Feed is set to match the
cable size you have selected. If you're using 3/4" or
5/8" cables, the feed should be assembled with the
raised side of the lower two caps outward. If you are
using 1/2" cables, the feed should be assembled with
the raised side of the caps inward.
6. Select the proper cutting tool (See Cutter Application
Chart—Table 2). A good tool to start with is the
Spearhead or 2" U-Cutter. If you are having difficulty
getting around a P-Trap or close bend, try the flexible
leader. After the line has been opened, follow with
larger blades, which scrape the inside edges of the
pipe, assuring a real cleaning job.
7. Insert the cutter into the female connector at the end
of the cable and tighten the connecting screw and
lock washer firmly in place.
