Operation

When using the K-4310 FXP Drum Machine, cable can

be fed either manually or using the AUTOFEED unit.

Generally, you can switch back and forth between oper-

ating methods as needed.

Advancing The Cable Into The Drain

Manual Operation

Confirm that at least one foot (0.3 m) of cable is in the

drain. Grasp the exposed cable with both gloved hands

equally spaced (Figure 20A) and pull 6"-12" of cable out

of the drum (Figure 20B) so that there is a slight bow in

the cable. Gloved hands must be on cable to control and

support the cable. Improper cable support can allow the

cable to kink or twist and can damage cable or injure the

operator. Make sure that the cable outlet of drain cleaning

machine is within 3' (0.9 m) of the drain opening.

Depress the foot switch to start the machine rotating

in the FOR direction. The person controlling the cable

must also control the foot switch. Do not operate the

drain cleaning machine with one person controlling the

cable and another person controlling the foot switch. This

can lead to twisting, kinking and breaking of the cable.

Advance the rotating cable into the drain. The rotating

cable will work its way into the drain as you push on the

cable with gloved hands (Figure 20C). Do not allow the

cable to build up outside the drain, bow or curve. This can

allow the cable to twist, kink or break.

When the cable has been fed into the drain opening, pull

6"-12" more cable from the drum and continue feeding

the rotating cable into the drain.
