Figure 19 – Cable Installation
5. Remove the retaining ring and pin from
the cable coupling.
Disconnect coupling from the gearbox
shaft. Remove the entire cable assem-
bly from the machine.
Insert cable coupling through the drum
channel and install the coupling over
the gearbox shaft. Securely install the
pin and retaining ring. Do not load ca-
ble yet.
Slide end of cable retention clamp over
the cable and into the drum channel.
Loosely install the 4 cable retention
clamp fasteners (see Figure 19). Make
sure that the cable sheath is within ¼"
(6.4 mm) of the cable coupling. When
looking through the viewport, the end
of the sheath must be between the
lines (see Figure 20).

6. Securely tighten all clamp fasteners.
Always wear safety glasses and other
appropriate protective equipment when
performing any maintenance.
Cleaning
It is good practice to use a towel to wipe
dirt and debris from the sheath as the cable
assembly is pulled from the drain and fed
back into the drum. This will help to keep
the drum clean and reduce the likelihood of
the cable assembly sticking in the drum. If
needed, cable assembly can be pulled from
the machine and the housing opened for
flushing/cleaning.
Clean the machine as needed with hot soapy
water and/or mild disinfectants.
Do not submerge or flush the machine with
water. Do not allow water to enter motor or
other electrical components. Make sure unit is
completely dry before plugging in and using.
Lubrication
The FlexShaft Drain Cleaning Machines are
lubricated for life from the factory.
Cable Re-termination
The FlexShaft cable cannot be shortened
or re-terminated. If the cable is damaged,
it must be replaced. Do not use a damaged
cable.
Cable Assembly Replacement
1. Remove chain knocker from cable as-
sembly.
2. Use a 4 mm hex wrench to loosen the
front cover fasteners (they are retained to
the cover and frame). Lift the cover and
unplug the motor wire connector (Figure
18). Feed cable through bushing into ma-
chine. Remove the front cover.
