ASSEMBLY

Wheel Assembly

1. Place a wheel retaining cap on a solid surface, open side up.
Place the end of the axle into the open end of the cap, and tap the
other end of the axle with a hammer or mallet to secure the cap to
the axle.
2. Slide one washer over the end of the axle, then one wheel (with
the recessed side toward the retaining cap), then a second
washer. Slide to the retaining cap.
3. Insert the free end of the axle/wheel assembly through the holes
at the back of the Mini-Rooter Pro frame so that the wheel assem-
bly is pressed tightly against one side of the frame, and the end of
the axle protrudes from the other side of the frame.
4. Tip the Mini-Rooter Pro onto its side, toward the newly secured
wheel.
5. Slide a washer, then the other wheel (recessed side up), then
another washer over the axle.
6. Place the other wheel retaining cap over the end of the axle and
tap it with a hammer or mallet until it's secure.

through the handle.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Set-Up
MAKE SURE THE MOTOR SWITCH IS IN
1. Place machine within approximately two feet (.6m) of drain open-
ing. If you can't place the machine this close to the drain opening,
run the cable through a metal guide tube to prevent cable whip-
ping.
2. Position the foot pedal for easy accessibility.
The machine is designed for one-person
operation. Be sure you can quickly remove
your foot from the pedal in an emergency.
3. Be sure the motor switch is in the off posi-
tion.
4. Select the proper cutting tool (See Cutter Application Chart—Table
2). A good tool to start with is the Arrow Head or Boring Gimlet.
After the line is opened, follow with larger blades, which scrape
the inside edges of the pipe, assuring a real cleaning job.
5. Insert the cutter into the female connector at the end of the 3/8" or
1/2" cable and tighten the connecting screw and lock washer firmly
in place.
Operation
1. Begin by pulling the cable from the drum/cage and sliding it into
the drain as far as it will go.
2. Move the motor switch to the forward position.
3. With both hands (wearing leather gloves) on the cable, depress
the air foot pedal to start machine.
4. Feed the cable into the line and against the obstruction with a firm,
even pressure. Adjust the feeding rate to the resistance met. Do
not force the cable – let the cutter do the work. The job won't get
done any faster and you could damage the cable.
DO NOT USE TOO MUCH FORCE –
LET THE CUTTER DO THE WORK.
5. Don't leave too much slack in the cable since this will cause whip-
ping. If the cable starts to bend or build up too much twist, release
pressure on the foot pedal and rotate the drum in the opposite
direction to relieve the twist on the cable. Push any excess cable
back into the drum and then continue.
DO NOT ALLOW TOO MUCH SLACK IN THE CABLE
BETWEEN MACHINE AND DRAIN OPENING SINCE
THIS CAN CAUSE CABLE WHIPPING.
