This machine is almost as easy to operate as a lawn
mower. You push eight or ten foot cable sections
into the line until you reach some resistance.
Then attach the rear cable coupling to the
machine, stand behind it, and turn it on. Watch
the cable feed itself into the line. When a section
has run into the drain, attach another one and
keep going. This self-feeding feature also works
to pull sections out of the line.
The Model 88 handles jobs up to 200 ft. long in
lines from 3" to 10" diameter. A standard 3/4 hp
capacitor motor supplies plenty of power, and
an adjustable safety clutch protects cables and
operator against sudden torque build-ups.
Sections come in two styles: all-purpose
Flexichain, which has a chain center, and the
stiffer Proflex, which has a spring center. A
chain assures easier cable retrieving if the
Flexichain spring should break. The inner
spring in the Proflex gives it greater stiffness,
which is desirable on long or tough jobs. The outer spring is
right-hand wound for faster self-feeding.
Both types of couplings snap together in a second and are taken
apart quickly with a spanner wrench or screw driver. With the
newer “G’’ connector, no tension is on the locking pin when
running in reverse, making it a more durable coupling. Snap on
the 78L-CDC optional adapter, and you can use 6 ft. x 7/8" cables
(6L78) to clear smaller lines.
Sectional Cables
Eight and ten foot “Cable Saver” sections for the Model 88 come
in the all purpose Flexichain which has a chain center,
and a stiffer Proflex which has a spring center. Proflex is also
available with a heavier duty 5/8" spring center. See page 32.
