The Model 88 is almost as easy to run as a lawnmower. 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 sectional drain cleaning machine 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.

Couplings are shown below. Both types snap together in a second and are taken apart quickly with a spanner wrench or screwdriver. With the newer “G” connector, no tension is on the locking pin when running in reverse, making it a more durable coupling.
