8. If tool becomes hung up in the
obstruction, move control lever
to the REVERSE position to back
out too. (See Figure #5)

9. After tool has been removed
from obstruction, move control
lever back to the FORWARD
position and continue to work
through obstruction.
10. To retrieve cable from line,
move control lever to the
REVERSE position (while
continuing to operate cage in
forward rotation) and cable will
back out of line and feed into
cage.
NOTE: It is recommended to use a
continuous flush of water to clean
tool, cable and sewer line as cable is
retrieved.
11. When tool is close to cleanout
opening, return Control Lever to
NEUTRAL position, place switch
in OFF position, release foot
actuator and allow machine to
come to a complete stop.
DISCONNECT POWER CORD.
12. Pull remaining cable and tool
from drain line and hand-feed
cable back into machine.
MAIN SEWER OR SEPTIC
TANK OVERUN
Operator should determine the
approximate distance from cleanout
opening to the main sewer or septic
tank. Overrunning cable into these
areas can cause cables to twist or
knot-up preventing their retrieval.
MAINTENANCE
Maintenance on the RF machine should
be minimal for the life expectancy of
the machine. The cable cage is
equipped with bearings which do not
need to be lubricated, but an
occasional lubrication with oil to the
machine shaft will help in removal of
cable cage and will not harm the
bearings.
A light coating of oil applied to the
cable before storing will help prevent
rusting and premature failure.
Greasing all three (3) grease Zerks
(fittings) on feeder before each use is
recommended. Disassemble and clean
complete feeder twice yearly.
