TO HOLD THE FOOT SWITCH IN THE “ON” POSITION. 15. Do Not Force the Flexshaft. Your Elliott Roto-Jet™ will perform best at the rate for which it was designed. Excessive force only causes operator fatigue, increased flexshaft wear, shaft or break away coupling failure.

SAFETY (CONT.) 23. Maintain Labels and Nameplates. These carry important information and will assist you in ordering spare and replacement parts. If unreadable or missing, contact an Elliott service facility for a replacement. 24. Stop the Machine Immediately if the Flexshaft Starts to Coil. Flexshaft damage will occur if flexshaft is operated in a coiled position.
This can be accomplished by the following these steps: Examine the tubes to be cleaned and measure the internal diameter (Elliott Tube Gage is recommended) and length of the tubes. If the tube ends are expanded, then make a note of the smallest internal diameter.

If no water is discharged, from the flexshafting, discontinue use of the machine and contact an Elliott service facility. For model 0620AR, let machine completely stop rotation before depressing the reversing peddle.

OPERATION (CONT.) The machine is now ready to operate. TOOL TIP Operate the flexshaft as straight as possible to minimize any sharp radius bends. This applies to both brush insertion and maximum cleaning length. Operating the flexshaft in a constant sharp radius will flex fatigue the wires in the core reducing its strength.
Page 13
OPERATION (CONT.) TOOL TIP Start to clean the tube bundle from the top of the unit to the bottom. Clean the bundle one row at a time, marking with soapstone, each row of tubes that have been cleaned. After cleaning has been completed, unplug the machine from the electrical source. Remove the foot switch by unthreading the outer ring of the foot switch plug and pull the plug from its receptacle.
ELECTRICAL Your Elliott Roto-Jet I™ has been designed to require a grounded electrical receptacle, of 120 volts, single phase, 20 amps, A.C. current. Serious damage to the unit can occur within the electrical components if the electrical supply, voltage and amperage rating does not meet this requirement. An electrical diagram is supplied with this manual as a reference (page 15).
ELECTRICAL (CONT.) Extension cords may be used with the machine, providing the cord is equipped with three wires, 12 gauge in size, with ground plugs and not longer than 50’ in length. Using extension cords with inadequately sized wire causes a serious drop in voltage resulting in possible machine damage. The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cord.

Engage the foot switch of the machine. The machine should operate normally. If the machine should fail this testing process, contact an Elliott service facility immediately. Do Not attempt to use the machine in this condition. An electric shock could occur if there is a malfunction of the GFCI circuit.
To reduce the risk of injury, always unplug your machine before performing any maintenance. Never disassemble the machine or try to do any rewiring on the machine’s electrical system. Contact Elliott for all repairs. Keep your Roto-Jet I™ in good repair by adopting a regular maintenance program. Before each use, examine the general condition of your machine.

When the flexshaft is used in a bend or radius configuration, the maximum torque capability of the core is reduced. The following charts demonstrate the effect that bending has on the flexshaft. (See Fig. 5, 6, 7, and 8) Wet Shafts (Fig.5) Flexshaft Radius 4”...
• Remove the machine cover and verify that the tube from the water supply to the manifold is in place. • Seals within the manifold are damaged and need to be replaced. Call an Elliott service facility. • Flexshaft stops rotating.

FLEXSHAFT REPAIR Flexshaft Repair Instructions Instructions for Both the Tool and Motor Couplings Using the Elliott Crimping Block Assembly Part Number W900-00 Cut the outer casing back approximately 1” (25.4mm) for clearance to allow the core to be cleaned up at the break. Grind the end of the core taking care not to overheat the wire strands. Using a hacksaw to square the broken end will cause the wire strands to flex and unwind.
