2.  Press down on motor and slide V-Belt off of drum.   
3.  Remove the cutter and connecting screw from the cable end.   
4.  Unscrew knob behind the front post and pull Power Cable Feed 

off  the  machine.    (If  your  Maxi-Rooter  does  not  have  a  Power 
Cable Feed, loosen the hex head bolts behind the front post cap, 
then slide the cap forward off the machine.) 

5.  Loosen knob on rear drum shaft clamp and move to side, then 

swing clamp open. 

6.  Lift drum clear of machine. 

 

TO INSTALL DRUM 

1.  Hang V-Belt from motor pulley.   
2.  Place drum on the machine, positioning the shaft into rear drum 

clamp first.  Rotate the drum until the hole in the shaft fits over 
the guide pin in the clamp. 

3.  Then put the distributor tube into the front post clamp. 
4.  Slide Power Cable Feed onto feed post guide pins, allowing the 

cable to pass through the feed rollers. 

5.  Tighten knob on stud protruding through the back of front post. (If 

your Maxi-Rooter does not have a Power Cable Feed, slide the 

front post cap onto the hex head bolts, then tighten them.) 

6.  Slip the V-Belt under drum. To make it easier to put the V-Belt in 

place, press down on the motor and slide a screw driver, or simi-

lar object into the hole in the motor support guide tube below the 

back of the motor.  This will keep the motor support spring de-

pressed so that it will be easy to slip the V-Belt around the drum.  

After  V-Belt  is  in  place,  depress  the  motor  enough  to  pull  out 

screwdriver. 

7.  Replace belt guard and tighten knob on top of motor.
