K-1000 Rodder
machine in reverse can result in rod damage and is
used only to back tool out of an obstruction.
• Start engine with shift lever in NEUTRAL position.
Shift lever must also be in NEUTRAL (straight up)
position when adding or removing tools and rod or
any other time when machine is not in use.
Prevents unexpected rotation of rods.
• Disconnect spark plug when performing mainte-
nance on Rodder or engine. This action will prevent
accidental starting and serious injury.
• Operate rodder properly. Do not operate with more
than 20 feet of rod between machine and man-
hole. The arcing of rod at manhole should not
exceed 3 feet. This will minimize the possibility of
kinking rods and serious injury.
• When striking an obstacle that causes the tool to
hang-up, do not attempt to force the machine by
manually pushing on the exposed rods. Do not
uncouple rods that are in a stressed condition.
This will cause kinking and whipping of the rods which
could cause serious injury.
• Do not overstress rods. Do not use badly worn
or bent rods. Be sure torque limiter is adjusted
properly to 50 ft.-lbs. maximum. Overstressing rods
because of obstruction can be dangerous to operators
as rods may twist or kink.
• Use caution when handling gasoline. Refuel in
well-ventilated area. Do not overfill fuel tank and do
not spill fuel. Make sure tank cap is closed prop-
erly. Gasoline is extremely flammable and is explosive
under certain conditions.
• Never run the engine in an enclosed or confined
area. Exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide
gas; exposure may cause loss of consciousness and
may lead to death. Exhaust also contains chemicals
that the State of California believes may cause cancer
or reproductive harm.
• Be careful not to touch the muffler while it is hot.
To avoid severe burns or fire hazards, let the en-
gine cool before transporting or storing it indoors.
The muffler becomes very hot during operation and re-
mains hot for a while after stopping the engine.
• Only use the K-1000 to clean straight drain lines 8"
to 24" in diameter. Follow instructions on the use of
the machine. Other uses or modifying the rodder for
other applications may increase the risk of injury.
• Do not use tool if releasing the throttle does not
stop the rod rotation. Any tool that cannot be con-
trolled is dangerous and must be repaired.
