Product Safety
• An improperly grounded electrical outlet can cause
electrical shock and or severely damage equip-
ment. Always check work area for a properly grounded
electrical outlet. Presence of a three prong or GFCI out-
let does not insure that the outlet is properly grounded.
If in doubt, have the outlet inspected by a licensed elec-
trician.
• Do not operate this equipment if operator or ma-
chine is standing in water. Operating machine while
in water increases the risk of electrical shock.
• The microDrain System camera and pushrod are
waterproof. The monitor and other electrical equip-
ment and connections are not. Do not expose the
equipment to water or rain. This increases the risk of
electrical shock.
• Do not use where a danger of high voltage contact
is present. The equipment is not designed to pro-
vide high voltage protection and isolation.

monitor operators’ manual, and the instructions for
any other equipment in use before operating the
microDrain System. Failure to follow all instruction
may result in property damage and/or serious per-
sonal injury.

ment while handling and using equipment in drains.

equipment such as drain cleaning gloves or mitts, latex
or rubber gloves, face shields, goggles, protective
clothing, respirators and steel toed footwear.
