ous chemicals or bacteria. Always wear
eye protection to protect against dirt and
other foreign objects.

Operating Instructions

Placement

Set up your SeeSnake system near the pipe
entrance so you can manipulate the push
cable while viewing the monitor. Make sure
that the drum can spin freely. Placing the
reel where the drum cannot spin freely may
result in over-winding the cable, which may
result in property damage and/or serious in-
jury.

Routing the Camera

If the camera is inside the drum, you must
route the camera through the push cable
guides. The push cable and camera head
should be threaded through all three guides.
1. Press the tab toward the outer edge of
the outermost push guide to lock open
the clip and free the camera spring
2. Reach inside the drum and find the
camera.
3. Insert the camera through the inner
push cable guide and then through the
two outer push cable guides.
