11. Using field-provided small wire brush, steel spring cable,
reversible electric drill, and vacuum cleaner, clean cells as
follows:
a. Assemble wire brush and steel spring cable.
(1.) Use 48 in. of 1/4-in. diameter high-grade steel
spring cable (commonly known as drain clean-out
or Roto-Rooter® cable).
(2.) Use 1/4-in. diameter wire brush (commonly known
as 25-caliber rifle cleaning brush).
NOTE:
The materials needed in items (1.) and (2.) can usually be
purchased at local hardware stores.
(3.) Insert twisted wire end of brush into end of spring
cable, and crimp tight with crimping tool or strike
with ball-peen hammer. TIGHTNESS IS VERY
IMPORTANT.
(4.) Remove metal screw fitting from wire brush to
allow insertion into cable.
b. Clean each heat exchanger cell.
(1.) Attach variable-speed, reversible drill to end of
spring cable (end opposite brush).
(2.) Insert brush end of cable into upper opening of cell
and slowly rotate with drill. DO NOT force cable.
Gradually insert at least 36 in. of cable into 2 upper
