Operation of RIDGID cut-out device. (Fig. 1)
Test unit before each use.
Plug unit into power supply socket. Press reset to switch on unit.
Red indicator will show. Press test button. Unit must switch off and
indicator will be black.
Do not use if unit does not switch off when test button is pressed.
Press reset to use equipment. If unit switches off repeatedly do not use
and have the equipment inspected by a RIDGID service center.
Note: Unit switches off and must be reset after power has been disconnected.
Safety
The K-60SP has a quick-acting "dead man" clutch for safety which allows the
cable to stop instantly when desired.
1. Wear operator's glove. Never grasp a rotating cable with a cloth or loose fitting
glove which can get caught in cable. A leather glove with metal staples in the
palm is safest to use.
2. Cables. Normally the cable is rotated clockwise at all times. Counter-clockwise
rotation can result in cable damage and is used only to back a tool out ofan
obstruction. Overstressing the cable can be dangerous to the operator, as it may
twist or kink. Do not use badly worn cables or jaws.
3. Use a Guide Hose to prevent whipping and picking up debris by the cable.
4. Use recommended equipment and accessories. Consult the Catalogue for
listings of such equipment. Use of improper equipment may be hazardous.
5. Disconnect Power Cord before servicing and making any adjustments.
Operating instructions
Before operating the machine, the operator should become familiar with the
patented RIDGID/Kollmann T-Slot Speed Coupler method of joining cable and
tools (See fig. 2).
Using 5/8" or 7/8" Sectional Cable. (Fig. 3a,b,c - Fig. 4)
Position the machine one or two feet from the line opening and attach the Guide Hose
at the rear of the machine. Do this by lifting up the Lock Pin on the Guide Hose Adapter,
and sliding the Guide Hose Adapter onto the back end of the machine until it locks in
place. Plug the cord into any convenient electrical outlet.
Insert the first cable (and all additional cables) into the front of the machine and push
it through the Guide Hose until a foot or so remains out the front of the machine.
Never couple more than one cable at a time ! (Fig. 5).
The first tool to use is the Bulb Auger, this being the best tool for going around
elbows. Snap it on, check coupling, make sure it is secure. Push cable by hand
into the line, holding the cable loosely in left hand. Put Switch into "1" (Fig. 6)
position and pull down on Clutch Handle with a definite snap to rotate cable. A
slow or gradual engaging of the Clutch Handle results in a weak grip of the Clutch
K-60SP
K-60SP
and accessories.
Important:
Jaws and causes excessive wear.
The clutch is instant acting and returning the Clutch Handle to its original position
frees the cable instantly. There is no overrun to loop or break the cable-an
important safety feature.
As soon as the excess cable has gone into the line, release the Clutch Handle
and pull six to ten inches of cable out of the machine. Repeat the engaging of
the clutch and this process, adding more cable sections as needed to reach the
obstruction. Remember, never couple more than one cable section at a time!
When the obstruction is reached, advance the cable inches at a time. At this
point the tool will do the work.
When the obstruction has been removed allowing passage of water, it is
recommended that a Straight Auger or Grease Cutter be used to ream out the
line ensuring a thorough job.
Use of REV (reverse)
The "2" (reverse) or counterclockwise running of the cable is only to free the tools when
they become snagged in an obstruction. Always let the motor come to a complete
stop "0" before reversing and, as soon as the tools are free, return to "1" (forward).
Continuing to run in "2" (reverse) risks breakage of the cable, since the cable is wound
to have maximum strength in clockwise or "1" (forward) position.
To bring the cable out, leave the switch in "1" (forward) position. Holding the cable
against the edge of the inlet, pull down on the Clutch Handle for several seconds.
The cable will rapidly "thread" itself out of the line until a partial loop forms in front
of the machine. Release Clutch Handle and push excess cable back through machine
and repeat until all cable is out of the line.
Using 5/16" (A-17-A) or 3/8" (A-17-B) Cable Adapters (Fig. 7)
Attach the Cable Adapter to the K-60SP in the following manner:
1. Pull ten inches of cable from Cable Adapter.
2. Lift Locating Pin on the Cable Adapter and move the Clutch Handle on forward to
allow Cable Adapter to slip onto the machine. Be sure the Locating Pin has
locked into the machine.
3. Tighten Thumb Screws on Cable Adapter.
Position the machine as close to line opening as possible and follow the same
operation procedure as described for use with 5/8" sectional cable.
The only difference is no additional cable is needed because the length of cable in the
5/16" and 3/8" Cable Containers is of sufficient length for cleaning the line.
The Clutch Handle now has one more purpose. By pulling down hard on Clutch
Handle the Adapter will spin. With an upward snap of the Clutch Handle the Adapter
will stop instantly preventing overrun or kinking. The built-in brake will increase
the life of the cable. The machine coupled with either 5/16" or 3/8" Cable Adapter
can be used to clean out: Sinks of any type • Kitchen disposal lines • Closets
• Bathtubs • Overhead lines.
Brake Adjustment on Cable Adapter
Due to wear, adjusting of brake drum on Cable Adapter becomes necessary
for effective braking. Loosen two set screws (A), turn set screw (B) clockwise
for good braking action then lock the two (A) set screws and re-check tension
on (B) set screw. (fig. 8).
Maintenance
1. Lubricate machine with grease at grease fittings once a week if used every day;
once a month if used less.
2. Clean and lubricate Clutch Jaws with oil after each use (Fig. 9a - 9b).
3. Clean Cable Containers on 5/16" and 3/8" Cable Adapters after each use by simply
removing three screws.
4. Check brake drum on Cable Adapters periodically for possible adjustment.
5. A clean machine works best.
Care of Equipment
Motor driven equipment must be kept indoors or well covered in cold or rainy
weather. If machine has been exposed to freezing weather, unit must be run for ten
or twenty minutes without load to warm up. Failing to do this will result in frozen
bearings. If the unit is exposed to the weather when not in use for a period of time,
moisture will form across the motor winding causing the motor to burn out. Such an
occurrence, due to neglect, will jeopardize your guarantee of the equipment. When
transporting your machine it is recommended that adapter be detached from unit in
the event a "jar" might cause the unit to topple over.
The major causes of breakage are:
1. Forcing cables through inlets which are smaller than recommended for the
cable size.
2. Forcing the advance of the cable when the tool is at or in the obstruction.
3. Neglecting to switch to forward (clockwise) rotation after snagged tool is freed
with reverse rotation.
4. Using cables which are old and worn.
5. Leaving cables outdoors in severe winter or letting them become rain soaked
and rust-pitted.
The most important aid in avoiding undue cable breakage is the RIDGID/Kollmann
instant-acting clutch. With this clutch, the operator can release the torque on the
cable in a split second, thereby protecting the cable from excess strain and avoiding
driving the tool into an obstruction to a point of "no release".
