ating methods as needed.

Advancing The Cable Into The Drain

Manual Operation
Confirm that at least one foot (0.3 m) of cable is in the
drain. Grasp the exposed cable with both gloved hands
equally spaced (Figure 20A) and pull 6"-12" of cable out
of the drum (Figure 20B) so that there is a slight bow in
the cable. Gloved hands must be on cable to control and
support the cable. Improper cable support can allow the
cable to kink or twist and can damage cable or injure the
operator. Make sure that the cable outlet of drain cleaning
machine is within 3' (0.9 m) of the drain opening.
Depress the foot switch to start the machine rotating
in the FOR direction. The person controlling the cable
must also control the foot switch. Do not operate the
drain cleaning machine with one person controlling the
cable and another person controlling the foot switch. This
can lead to twisting, kinking and breaking of the cable.
Advance the rotating cable into the drain. The rotating
cable will work its way into the drain as you push on the
cable with gloved hands (Figure 20C). Do not allow the
cable to build up outside the drain, bow or curve. This can
allow the cable to twist, kink or break.
When the cable has been fed into the drain opening, pull
6"-12" more cable from the drum and continue feeding
the rotating cable into the drain.
