6. Place the Drain Cleaning Machine on the
ground in the horizontal use position, see
Figure 4. Machine should sit squarely and
firmly on the ground. Do not operate with
the machine in the vertical position. This
will reduce the risk of tipping.

that the cable outlet is within 3' (1 m) of
the drain access. Greater distances from
the drain access increases the risk of the

access, extend the drain access with sim-
ilar sized pipe and fittings (see Figure 5).
