Operating Procedure
CAUTION:
Do not operate this machine without eye protection.
1. Connect water hose to water inlet of no more than 100 psi. Water supply should be clean.
Make sure screen washer is in place.
2. Plug electric cord into an outlet in accordance with the power requirements on the
nameplate and push the “Reset” button on the GFCI.
3. Ensure that the two hoses in the footswitch assembly are plugged into the two pneumatic
switches in the foot pedal compartment. Each side of the footswitch corresponds to a
different drive direction of the shaft.
4. Select proper size cleaning tool and fasten onto end of flexible shaft. Never use a tool
larger than I.D. of tube.
NOTE:
Most tubes are rolled at tube sheet. Always measure I.D.
beyond roll or consult manufacturer’s manual for tube O.D. and gauge.
5. Position shaft locator on the outside of the flexible shaft so that when the shaft is fully
inserted in the tube, the entire cleaning tool extends outside the other end of the tube.
6. Uncoil flexible shaft completely and feed it into the tube.
DO NOT FORCE SHAFT DOWN
TUBE.
Allow machine to do the work. If resistance is felt, back off 2”-3” (50-75mm) and feed
shaft again until it goes easily. If resistance is too great, use a smaller cleaning tool.
7. For easiest operation, if possible, insert shaft into tube and keep there for several hours
before starting in order to remove loops from flexible shaft.
CAUTION:
Minimum operating
radius of flexible shaft is eighteen inches. However, it is recommended that the shaft be
kept as free from loops as possible. This is especially critical nearest the drive unit.
8. After completing the job, always unplug machine before disconnecting water supply.
Running a shaft “dry” may damage the seals.
CAUTION:
The SC-TC-60 is designed to be
used wet or dry — NOT BOTH. It is equipped with a water seal. If used dry, the water seal will
no longer prevent water leakage.
Forward/Reverse Foot Pedal
•
The direction the shaft rotates is controlled by the two-way foot pedal.
•
Clockwise rotation is considered the “Forward” direction
•
Position the foot pedal like the gas pedal of a car and rock your foot back and forth
to control direction.
Maintenance & Storage
SC-TC-60
Maintenance
Keep machine clean and dry to maximize performance and longevity. Follow maintenance
outlined in this manual, such as checking for weak spots, leaks, slices or cuts in hose, replace
shafts when worn. Additional maintenance details follow in this manual. If the machine
does not operate properly or has been damaged or exposed to water, call the factory for
assistance — do not try to service the unit yourself.
Storage
Disconnect water supply line. Disconnect the flexible shaft and drain water to prevent rusting of
shaft. Do not store machine where residual water in machine may freeze. Refer to Flexible Shaft
manual for flexible shaft storage.
