8. Tighten screws firmly, making sure the screw heads are centered
in the slots and flush with the container surface.
9. Insert top roller assembly into the feed housing. Make sure that
the guide pin in the carrier is aligned with the slot in the housing.
10. Swing the feed lever closed.
Squeeze the lever and push
the retaining latch forward to
secure the feed lever in place.
MAINTENANCE
DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER SOURCE
BEFORE PERFORMING MAINTENANCE !
To keep your machine operating smoothly, it is essential that all bear-
ings and bushings be lubricated. Oiling moving parts is particularly
important where machine comes in contact with sand, grit and other
abrasive material.
CABLE MAINTENENCE
To get maximum service from your cables,
be sure that they are clean and well oiled.
This not only provides running lubrication
but greatly extends the life of the cables as
well. Some users periodically pour oil di-
rectly into the drum. Then, as the drum
turns, the cables get complete lubrication.
Our SNAKE OIL is ideally suited for this
purpose, since it not only lubricates the
cables, it deodorizes them as well.
TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE (TABLE 3)
Problem
Cable kinks or breaks.
Cable tangles in container.
Failure to feed.
Motor does not run.
Motor turns in one direction
but not other.
See pages 22 and 23 for Parts List and Schematic Diagram.
Probable Cause
Operator forcing the cable.
Too much slack between machine and drain. Do not allow more than six inches between machine and drain.
Cable used in wrong size drain line.
Cable exposed to acid
Operator forcing the cable.
Feed Rollers frozen.
Cable tangled in drum.
Trigger in neutral (off) position.
Reverse switch failure.
FEED MAINTENANCE
Keep feed free of excessive soil and grit. It is recommended that the
feed be flushed with fresh water followed by a light oiling of the mov-
ing parts. No disassembly is normally required. Failure to feed can
usually be traced to dirt accumulation.
Over time, dirt can harden enough to stop roller rotation. Flushing with
water followed by liberal oiling can usually restore function. If disas-
sembly is required, proceed as follows,
TO CLEAN OR REPLACE FEED ROLLERS
1. Squeeze the feed lever and pull back on the lever retaining latch.
2. Swing the feed lever open. Remove the top roller assembly.
3. Remove the three Cover Plate retaining screws to expose the
two lower rollers.
4. Loosen and remove the screws holding the lower two rollers in
place.
5. Re-assembly is done in reverse order.
TO REMOVE MOTOR
1. Loosen the three screws that hold the container front and back
together.
2. Pull the container front off of the machine.
3. Loosen the two set screws in the beveled collar and remove both
the collar and the felt washer.
4. Slide a flat head screw driver into the Hub Spindle and unscrew
the Left Hand locking screw from the drive shaft by turning it
clockwise.
5. Unscrew the Hub Spindle from the Right Hand Drive Shaft by
rotating the container back counter-clockwise. Note: The Hub
Spindle, Hub, and Container Back remain as one unit. The thrust
bearing will spin freely.
6. Reverse these instructions to re-assemble.
Solution
Do not force the cable. Let the cutter do the work.
A cable that is too large or too small in diameter for a line is more
likely to kink. (Consult Table 1—Cable Applications.)
Clean and oil cables regularly.
Do not force the cable. Let the cutter do the work.
Clean and lubricate feed rollers regularly. Replace worn rollers.
Use proper cable size. (Consult Cable Application Chart—Table 1).
Switch Trigger to either Forward or Reverse.
Replace reverse switch.
