    • Unplug your drain cleaner before starting this guide. Because this device may have been used in a septic setting, it should be cleaned and disinfected as much as possible before disassembly.

    • Ensure the cable is completely retracted into the auto-feeder.

    • Twist the guide spring counter-clockwise to unscrew it from the auto-feeder.

    • Remove the guide spring.

    • Push the top control finger up as far as possible.

    • This disengages the top feeder assembly and allows the cable to freely move through the feeder. The finger may fall back down on its own and restrict cable movement. If this occurs, simply push the finger back up.

    • Use a flat-head screwdriver to remove the screw on the rear face of the drum that secures the cable anchor.

    • You may need to rotate the drum so that the screw is accessible from bottom rear of the drain cleaner.

    • During reassembly, twist the cable so that the threaded hole in the cable anchor is facing the back side of the drum.

make sure to feed back in counter clockwise

MIGUEL -

there is a ANCHOR CABLE, P/N: 1/2M3, that can be left on the drum and the new cable can be attached to it. Much easier to change the cable when yo don't have to re-attach it each time, to the drum.
