To Install Replacement Cable
NOTE! To make cable installation easier, completely
uncoil new cable before proceeding. Also, a 30
degree bend about 4 inches from back end of
cable will facilitate it entering the drum.
1. Insert about 24 inches of cable through the guide
tube into the drum.
IMPORTANT: Cable should coil into the drum in a
counter-clockwise direction (Figure 9) .
Figure 9 – Coil Cable Into Drum As Shown
2. Reach inside the drum and maneuver cable so that it
is under the cable bracket.
3. Retighten the screw to clamp the cable against the
back wall of the drum.

Maintenance Instructions

Make sure machine is unplugged from power
source before performing maintenance or making
any adjustment.

Lubrication

Grease all exposed, moving and rotating parts, such
as guide tube assembly, as required.
NOTE! No lubrication of the Motor Shaft is required.

Autofeed Assembly

Proper cleaning and lubrication of the autofeed assem-
bly is advised for long, trouble-free operation. After each
use, hose out autofeed assembly with water and lubricate
with lightweight machine oil.

Cables

Cables should be thoroughly flushed with water to pre-
vent damaging effects of sediment and drain cleaning
compounds. Periodically lubricate cables and couplings
with RIDGID Cable Rust Inhibitor. See accessories for
catalog number information.
When not in use, store cables indoors to prevent dete-
rioration by the elements.
Cables should be replaced when they become severely
corroded or worn. A worn cable can be identified when
outside coils of cable become flat.
