Gen-Eye POD™ & Gen-Eye MINI-POD™
1. Wear rubber gloves. Sewer lines are unsanitary and may con-
tain harmful bacteria.
2. Be sure that the unit is plugged into a properly grounded
receptacle. If in doubt, check receptacle before plugging in
machine. Check the power cord to see that there are no cuts or
frays, and that the grounding prong on the plug is still in place.
3. If the power cord supplied with the machine is not long
enough, be sure to use a 16 gauge heavy duty extension
cord no more than 50 feet long and in good condition. Using
lighter cords can result in severe power loss and motor overheat-
ing.
4. Be careful when inspecting drains where cleaning chemicals
have been used. Avoid direct contact with corrosive drain clean-
ers. Drain cleaning chemicals can cause serious burns, as well
as damage the cable and camera.
5. Do not operate machine if operator or machine is standing
in water. Will increase risk of electrical shock.
6. Wear safety glasses and rubber soled, non-slip shoes. Use
of this safety equipment may prevent serious injury.
7. Only use this tool in the application for which it was de-
signed. Follow the instructions on the proper use of the ma-
chine. Other uses or modifying the machine for other applica-
tions may increase risk of injury.
8. The Gen-Eye POD should not be used in wet locations or in
the rain. Moisture may cause damage to the unit.
9. The POD will operate on 120vAC and 12vDC Line Voltage.
When using 120 volts AC, care should be taken to ensure
that it is plugged into a properly grounded receptacle to
prevent damage to the unit. If the intended receptacle is not
properly grounded, do not use it and look for another one.
10. If the POD does not seem to be operating properly, or if you
suspect a problem with the electronics, do not operate it and
call the factory for a service center near you.

ABOUT THE INSPECTION CAMERA
Although manufactured for the harsh environments in which it will
be used, the camera should be treated carefully as damage may
occur if dropped or “butted” severely against the pipe or any
other hard surface. The stainless steel camera housing is made
to protect the camera and electronics to a large extent; however,
it can be damaged by denting which may cause possible failure
of the protective and watertight O-ring seals that may cause the
camera to fail. The camera, housing, and front viewing lens
should be checked thoroughly after each use for signs of dam-
age and if required should be corrected prior to further use.
The camera should always be cleaned and inspected after every
use as dirt, grime and grease can cause unnecessary problems
such as failure of the camera seals.
The camera lens, front nose piece and lights should be cleaned
and checked after every use for possible damage to the lens or
light covers and to prevent a build up of dirt and grime which may
cause a degradation of the video picture.
Should camera disassembly be required for any reason (for re-
placing seals, etc.) always ensure the camera has first been
cleaned and taken to a clean area for disassembly. Take extra
precaution to avoid dirt getting into the camera body and any
mating components such as the nosepiece, main body, and con-
nectors.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
This is the safety alert symbol. It is used to alert
you to potential personal injury hazards. Obey all
safety messages that follow this symbol to avoid
possible injury or death.
Electric shock resulting in death can occur if you
plug this machine into an improperly wired outlet. If
the ground wire is electrified, you can be electrocuted
by just touching the machine, even when the power
switch is off. A ground fault circuit interrupter will not
protect you in this situation. Use a UL approved tester to
determine if the outlet is safe.
Always wear safety glasses and rubber soled, non-
slip shoes. Use of this safety equipment may prevent
serious injury.
