TOOL TIP

Operate the flexshaft as straight as possible to minimize any sharp radius 
bends.  This applies to both brush insertion and at maximum cleaning 
length.  Operating the flexshaft in a constant sharp radius will flex fatigue 
the wires in the core reducing its strength.  Allowing the cleaning device 
to exit the tube while rotating can cause premature shaft failure in the 
tool coupling area.  Never exit the tube with the tube cleaning device in 
operation.  For more information see “Technical” section.

TOOL TIP

Measure the length of the tubes being cleaned from the tube sheet to the tube 
sheet at the opposite end.  Transfer this measurement to the flexshaft from 
the END of the cleaning device up the casing toward the machine.  Mark the 
end of the measurement on the casing by wrapping the point with electrical 
tape.  This will enable you to feed the flexshaft through the tube and stop the 
cleaning device before exiting the tube on the opposite end.

TOOL TIP

Start to clean the tube bundle from the top of the unit to the bottom.  Clean 
the bundle one row at a time, marking with soapstone, each row of tubes that 
have been cleaned.
