DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER SOURCE
BEFORE INSTALLING CABLES !
IF CABLE TANGLES IN DRUM
This is caused by using too much pressure when feeding the cable or
by feeding the cable while running in reverse.
1. Loosen feed pressure knob or loosen the chuck so that the cable
can pass through easily.
2. Push the back of the cable through the spout into the drum/cage.
3. Be certain that the cable goes into the drum as shown in the
illustration, or the cable will tangle in the drum.
4. It will be easier to load the cable if you put a slight bend in the
cable about one inch from the end.

Note: The cable must lay in the
drum in the correct direction or it
will tangle in the drum
1. To untangle, rotate the drum/cage in the opposite direction to
relieve the twist.
2. If the cable has become badly tangled, disassemble the drum by
loosening the screws around the rim of the drum and pull the
drum front off the drum. (Note: Open cage units cannot be disas-
sembled.)
3. Pull the cable completely out of the drum shell. Then, reassem-
ble the drum.
4. Straighten the cable out and push it back in the drum. (See “To
Install Cable into Drum” below.)

MAINTENANCE
To keep your machine operating smoothly, it is essential that all bear-
ings and bushings be lubricated. Oiling moving parts is particularly
important where machine comes in contact with sand, grit and other
abrasive material.
CABLE MAINTENENCE
To get maximum service from your cables,
be sure that they are clean and well oiled.
This not only provides running lubrication
but greatly extends the life of the cables as
well. Some users periodically pour oil di-
rectly into the drum. Then, as the drum
turns, the cables get complete lubrication.
Our SNAKE OIL is ideally suited for this
purpose, since it not only lubricates the
cables, it deodorizes them as well.
POWER FEED MAINTENANCE
Keep feed free of excessive soil and grit. It is recommended that the
feed be flushed with fresh water followed by a light oiling of the moving
parts. No disassembly is normally required. Failure to feed can usually
be traced to the following possibilities:
DIRT ACCUMULATION
Over time, dirt can harden enough to stop roller rotation. Flushing with
water followed by liberal oiling can usually restore function. If disas-
sembly is required, proceed as follows:
1. Remove the feed pressure knob, cover screws, top cover, ball
bearing and ball bearing holder. Note the positioning of these
parts to ease re-assembly. Remove the swing pin from the car-
rier. The top roller assembly can now be removed.
2. Remove the snap rings and thrust washers from the bottom hous-
ing cylinders. Remove swing pins from carriers. The bottom roller
assemblies can now be removed.
3. Re-assembly is done in reverse order.

TANGLED CABLE
If a cable loops over itself in the drum/cage, it will not feed properly.
Remove and reload the cable to restore function. If the cable kinks, it
is evidence of abuse and results from the use of too much pressure or
use of the wrong size cable for the line. Do not force the cable — let
the cutter do the work.
