NOTE! Proper Tool Selection
A good rule of thumb is to use a tool at least 1 smaller
than the line to be cleaned. The style of the tool is deter-
mined by the nature of the job and is left up to the
operator.
Operating Instructions
Wear mitts with rivets provided with machine.
Never grasp a rotating cable with a rag, cloth or
leather glove that may become wrapped around
the cable causing serious injury.
Always wear eye protection to protect your eyes
against dirt and other foreign objects. Wear rubber
soled, non-slip shoes.
Do not operate if clutch handle is damaged or does
not function properly. Clutch is a safety feature
designed to stop rotation of cable when released.
Never run engine in an enclosed or confined area.
CAUTION It is important to know approximate distance
from inlet to main sewer or septic tank. Over-running
cable too far into main sewer or septic tank can cause
cables to knot up and prevent their return through small
lines. If main is 12 inches or larger and standard 1
cable is being used, do not allow more than 10 to 15 feet
of overrun. When working into a septic tank do not
allow more than 3 to 5 feet overrun.
1. Place transmission shift lever in N (Neutral) position.
2. Set choke control handle at CHOKE and turn en-
gine over a few times with pull starter.
