9.
Be careful not to let the cutter get caught in the stoppage as you
work through it. This can cause kinking and breaking of the ca-
ble. When you feel the cable starting to twist, stop the machine
and retract the cable. This will free the cutter from the obstruc-
tion. Then allow the cable to move forward slowly into the stop-
page.
10. After the line has been opened, retract the cable by moving the
feed lever up. Make sure the motor switch is in the forward posi-
tion.
11. When you hear the end of the cable near the drain opening, take
your foot off the pedal to stop drum rotation. Never retract the
cutter from the drain while cable is rotating. The cable could whip
and cause serious injury. Do not retract cutter into Guide Tube.
DO NOT USE REVERSE TO PULL THE CABLE OUT OF
THE DRAIN. RUNNING MACHINE IN REVERSE CAN
CAUSE THE CABLE TO TANGLE IN THE DRUM.
SPECIAL OPERATIONS
IF CABLE GETS CAUGHT IN LINE
The motor can be reversed for a few seconds at a time to free the
cable if it gets caught in line. (Note: if using Power Cable Feed, put-
ting motor in reverse will cause the feed control lever to operate oppo-
site of normal.)
1.
Move motor switch to the reverse position.
2.
Step on the foot pedal while retracting on the cable.
3.
After cable is loose, move motor switch back into forward posi-
tion.
DO NOT RUN MOTOR IN REVERSE FOR MORE THAN A
FEW SECONDS AT A TIME SINCE THIS COULD CAUSE
THE CABLE TO KINK OR TANGLE IN THE DRUM.
IF CABLE TANGLES IN DRUM
This can be caused by using too much pressure, running the machine
in reverse, or a poorly lubricated or frozen roller in the feed. To untan-
gle the cable, rotate the drum in the opposite direction (See Feed
Maintenance). This will usually get the cable to lie in the drum prop-
erly.
If the cable has become badly tangled, which shouldn't occur if used
properly, it may be necessary to pull the entire cable out of the drum
and reinstall it. (See "How to Install Cable" section.)
HOW TO INSTALL CABLE IN DRUM
DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER SOURCE
BEFORE INSTALLING CABLE IN DRUM!
1.
Connect the male end of the cable to the drum connecting cable
already attached to the drum.
2.
Remove the V-Belt.
3.
Be certain that the cable goes into the
drum as shown in the illustration, or the
cable will tangle in the drum.
4.
Replace the V-Belt after cable is installed.
NOTE: The cable must lay in the drum in the correct direction or it will
tangle in the drum.
HOW TO REMOVE DRUM
DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER SOURCE
BEFORE REMOVING DRUM!
1.
Remove belt guard by loosening the knob above the motor and
pulling the guard forward.
2.
Push the motor down far enough to slide the V-Belt off the drum.
3.
Remove the cutter and connecting screw from the cable end.
4.
Loosen the knob at the top of the Power Cable Feed.
5.
Unscrew the knob behind the front post and pull the Power Cable
Feed off the machine.
6.
With one hand on the cable, loosen the knob on the front post
cap, then open clamp. The Flexitube may spring up out of the
clamp. (See Figure 1.)
7.
Tip the Speedrooter on its side,
opposite to the brake handle.
8.
Remove the drum retaining bolt
and washers with 3/4" socket
with extension.

shaft.
10. Then, roll the drum away from
the machine.
HOW TO INSTALL DRUM
DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER SOURCE
BEFORE INSTALLING DRUM!
1.
To install the inner drum, pull approximately 12 inches of cable
from the drum. Grease the inner drum bushing. Slide the cable
through the hole in the inner drum as shown in Figure 2. Slide
the inner drum onto the drum hub bushing.
Figure 2
2.
Lay the machine frame on its side and roll the drum, with inner
drum installed, between the front post and drum shaft. Be sure
the front of the drum is facing the front post.
3.
While standing behind the frame, line the drum shaft up with the
hole in the back of drum, slightly lift the frame, and slide the drum
shaft into the back of the drum until the drum contacts the thrust
washer on the shaft. Make sure the needle roller bearings inside
the hub of the drum stay in place.
4.
Make sure that the three washers are still on the drum retaining
bolt and thread the bolt into the drum shaft, just finger tight.
5.
Stand the machine upright, then tighten the retaining bolt with a
3/4" socket with extension.
