If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug.
If the plug still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician
to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in
any way.
3. If the power cord is not long enough, be sure to use a
minimum 16 gauge heavy duty extension cord no more
than 50 ft. long and in good condition. Use of lighter
cords can result in severe power loss and overheating.
4. Wear rubber boots and rubber glove inserts when
work area is wet. Do not operate machine if operator is
standing in water.
5. The equipment is designed to be used by a single
operator only.
6. Wear safety glasses when operating machine.
7. Wear leather gloves only, not cloth gloves, when
handling the cable while it's rotating.
8. Neutralize or remove corrosive drain cleaners from
drain before starting. Exposure to these chemicals can
cause injury to operator and damage cable.
9. Never take hold of a rotating cable. Pull the cable out of
or push it back into the container by hand only when the
motor is stopped. When the motor is turning, always have
one hand controlling the power cable feed and the other
hand around the guide tube.
10. The Drain-Rooter PH must be operated within one
foot of drain opening. If you can't get the guide tube this
close to the drain opening, run the cable through metal
tubing or conduit to prevent cable whipping and kinking.
11. Before starting each job, check that the cable in the
container is not broken or kinked, by pulling the cable out
and checking for wear or breakage. Always replace worn
out (kinked or broken) cables with genuine GENERAL
replacement cables.
Table 1. Cable Applications
Cable Size
1/4"
5/16"
3/8"
The 1/4" and 5/16" diameter cables with EL-Basin plug heads can be spun through most strainer
crossbars and work well in lines blocked by soft stoppages such as hair, soap, fats, etc.

Piper Size
1 1/4" to 2"
1 1/2" to 2"

Typical Applications
Ideal for heavy cutting and scraping.
More flexibility than Arrow Head; can take sharp turns in small lines.
To remove or retrieve loose objects
Leads cable down drain line rather than up vent or across tee.
Works well in grease stoppages, scrapes walls of pipe.
Variable Speed Switch
A variable speed control is built into the trigger
mechanism. You can control and increase the machine's
speed by applying more pressure to the foot pedal until
you get the speed that you want. You can also control the
machine's direction of rotation by switching the forward
and reverse lever, which is located just above the trigger
switch. Move the lever toward the Forward arrow for
forward rotation and toward the Back arrow for reverse
rotation.
