Use and Care Manual

Duct Hunter Operation
1. Operates in upright or horizontal position. If used in horizontal position, safety roller guides and brake
control handle should be on top side.
2. Set drag brake to highest amount of drag (Fig. 1).
3. Insert end of berglass rod between the upper and lower nylon safety roller guides (Fig. 2).
This ensures duct rod will be safely contained while working with it.
4. Release pressure on drag brake handle so rod will begin to slowly payout from reel.
5. Brake may be set for constant drag on payout of rod. The constant drag makes one-man operation
possible. Fully tightening brake handle stops payout of rod. For constant drag and controlled payout,
set brake handle where reel turns only as you pull out rod.
6. Pay out rod into underground facility. Lock brake handle.
7. Attach signal output lead from your transmitter to brass end ferrule on clip attachment (Fig. 3).
Attach ground lead to desired ground mechanism.
8. Follow your transmitter’s operating instructions to apply the desired signal frequency to the rod.*
9. Use your receiver to trace the path of the rod following the instructions of your receiver.
10. If further rod payout is required, detach transmitter output lead, loosen drag brake and pay out
more rod. Lock brake handle and re-attach transmitter output lead.
11. When recoiling rod, detach transmitter lead, loosen drag brake and push rod back onto reel. Allow
reel to spin only when pushing rod. Do not manually spin reel in an attempt to reel up rod.
* Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions and precautions when using your transmitter and re-
ceiver. Jameson is not responsible for damage or injury as a result of improper use of your transmitter or
receiver.
