OPERATION
SET-UP
MAKE SURE THE MOTOR SWITCH IS IN
THE 'OFF' POSITION!
1.
Be sure the motor switch is in the off position.
2.
Place machine at a distance not greater than two feet (.6 m) from
the drain opening. Be sure the Speedrooter Guide Tube (S92-
GT) is in place. If you can't get the machine this close to the
drain opening, run the cable through the optional Guide Tube
Extension (GTE) or a metal
guide tube to prevent cable
whipping.
3.
Position the air foot pedal for
easy accessibility. The ma-
chine is designed for one-
person operation. Be sure you
can quickly remove your foot
from the pedal in an emer-
gency.
4.
Lock the wheels by lifting the
brake handle located next to the left wheel and pressing it into
the clip.
Typical Applications
Starting Drill—gets water
flowing.
For Cutting and Scraping
For Cutting—Scraping walls of
&
pipe.
For Cutting Roots
For Cutting Roots
For removing loose objects or
broken cables.
Helps cable get through tight
traps and bends.
5.
Make sure the Power Cable Feed is set to match the cable size
you have selected. If you're using 3/4" or 5/8" cables, the feed
should be assembled with the raised side of the lower two caps
outward. If you are using 9/16" cables, the feed should be as-
sembled with the raised side of the caps inward.
6.
Select the proper cutting tool (See Cutter Application Chart—
Table 2). A good tool to start with is the Spearhead or 2" U-
Cutter. If you are having difficulty getting around a P-Trap or
close bend, try the flexible leader. After the line has been
opened, follow with larger blades, which scrape the inside edges
of the pipe, assuring a real cleaning job.
7.
Insert the cutter into the female connector at the end of the cable
and tighten the connecting screw and lock washer firmly in
place.
OPERATION
1.
Place the Guide Tube, with cable and cutter protruding from the
end, securely into the drain opening.
2.
Tighten the knob at top of the Power Cable Feed so that the feed
roller presses against the cable. Be sure not to over tighten since
this could cause excess cable wear.
3.
The feed lever controls the feeding rate and direction of the ca-
ble. Move the lever down to feed cable out of drum. The further
the lever is moved downward, the faster the cable will feed out.
Move lever up to retract cable into drum. When the lever is in the
middle (neutral) position, cable will spin in place.

4.
Move the motor switch to the forward position.
5.
With a gloved hand on the Guide Tube, depress the air foot
pedal to start machine. Feed the cable into the line. Adjust the
feeding rate to the resistance met. Do not force the cable - let
the cutter do the work. The job won't go any faster and you could
damage the cable.
6.
If the cable starts to buckle or twist, release pressure on the foot
pedal. Move feed lever up and step on the foot pedal to relieve
the twist and retract excess cable back into the drum, then con-
tinue.
7.
If you cannot get the cable around a bend, you may be using too
large of a cable. Switch to a smaller cable or a smaller machine.
(See Cable Application Chart – Table 1)
8.
When the cable reaches the stoppage, move the feed lever to-
ward neutral to allow the cable to progress forward slowly, chew-
ing into the stoppage as it goes. This slow forward movement will
reduce stress on the cable while doing a more thorough cleaning
job. A back and forth motion often works best.
Hint: It's often helpful to have a small stream of water running in
the line to wash the cuttings away while the machine is in operation
and after.
