Auto-Clean™ Drain Cleaning Machine

of AUTOFEED.
9. Evaluate the work area and determine if any barriers
are needed to keep bystanders away from the drain
cleaner and work area. Bystanders can distract the op-
erator.
10. Position the foot switch for easy accessibility. You
must be able to hold and control the AUTOFEED
and guide hose, control the foot switch, and reach the
ON/OFF/REV switch.
11. Confirm that the ON/OFF/REV switch is in the OFF
position.
12. Run the cord along a clear path. With dry hands plug
the drain cleaner into a properly grounded outlet.
Keep all connections dry and off the ground. If the
power cord is not long enough, use an extension
cord that:
• Is in good condition.
• Has a plug similar to that supplied on the drain
cleaner.
• Is rated for outdoor use and contains a W or W-A in
the cord designation (i.e. SOW), or complies with
H05VV-F, H05RN-F types or IEC type design
(60227 IEC 53, 60245 IEC 57).
• Has sufficient wire size (16 AWG (1.5mm
8
(15.2m) or less, 14 AWG (2.5mm
(15.2m – 30.5m) long). Undersized wires can over-
heat, melting the insulation or causing a fire or other
damage.
The GFCI on the drain cleaner (if equipped) does
not protect the extension cord. If the outlet is not
GFCI protected, use a plug in type GFCI between the
outlet and the extension cord to reduce the risk of
electrical shock from extension cord faults. If the
drain cleaner is not equipped with a GFCI, use a
plug in type GFCI between the outlet and the drain
cleaner to reduce the risk of electrical shock.

Operating Instructions

Always wear eye protection to protect your eyes
against dirt and other foreign objects.
Always wear leather work gloves in good condi-
tion. Never grasp the rotating cable with anything
else, including a rag. They can become wrapped
around the cable, causing serious injury.
When cleaning drains that might contain hazardous
chemicals or bacteria, wear appropriate protective
equipment, such as goggles, face shields or respi-
rators, to prevent burns and infections. For extra
protection from chemicals and bacteria on the ma-
chine and in the work area, wear latex, rubber or
other liquid barrier gloves under the leather work
gloves. Rubber soled, non-slip shoes can help pre-
vent slipping and electric shock, especially on wet
surfaces.
Follow operating instructions to reduce the risk of
injury from twisted or broken cables, cable ends
whipping around, machine tipping, chemical burns,
infections and other causes.
1. Make sure that machine and work area is properly set
up and that the work area is free of bystanders and
other distractions.
2. Wearing leather work gloves in good condition, pull
cable out of machine and feed into drain. Push cable
as far into drain as it will go. At least one foot of
cable must be in drain so that the end of the cable will
not come out of the drain and whip around when
you start the machine.
