Autofeed Assembly

Proper cleaning and lubrication of the autofeed assembly
is advised for long, trouble-free operation. After each
use, hose out autofeed assembly with water and lubricate
with lightweight machine oil.

Cables

Cables should be thoroughly flushed with water to prevent
damaging effects of sediment and drain cleaning com-
pounds. Periodically lubricate cables and couplings with
RIDGID Cable Rust Inhibitor.
When not in use, store cables indoors to prevent deteri-
oration by the elements.
Cables should be replaced when they become severely
corroded or worn. A worn cable can be identified when
outside coils of cable become flat.

Machine Storage

WARNING Motor-driven equipment must be kept in-
doors or well covered in rainy weather. Store the machine
in a locked area that is out of reach of children and peo-
ple unfamiliar with drain cleaners. This machine can
cause serious injury in the hands of untrained users.
