General Safety Information

WARNING! Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in fire and/or serious personal injury.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

Work Area Safety

• Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
• Keep the engine at least one meter (3 feet) away from buildings and other equipment during operation. Do not place flammable objects close to engine. Procedures should be followed to prevent fire hazards and to provide adequate ventilation.

Personal Safety

• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medications. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
• Remove adjusting keys before turning the tool ON. A wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.
• Do not over-reach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.

Tool Use and Care

• Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
• Store idle tools out of the reach of children and

other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

• Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
• Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that may affect the tools operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
• Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your tool. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may become hazardous when used on another tool.
• Keep handles dry and clean; free from oil and grease. Allows for better control of the tool.

Service

• Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed by unqualified repair personnel could result in injury.
• When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions in the Maintenance Section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow maintenance instructions may create a risk of injury.

Specific Safety Information

WARNING

Read this operator's manual carefully before using the RIDGID K-1000 Rodder. Failure to understand and follow the contents of this manual may result in fire and/or serious personal injury.

Call the Ridge Tool Company, Technical Service Department at [phone] if you have any questions.

Machine Safety

• Wear leather gloves provided with the machine. Never grasp a rotating rod with a rag or loose fitting cloth glove. Could become wrapped around the rod and cause serious injury.
• Wear safety glasses and rubber soled, non-slip shoes. Use of this safety equipment may prevent serious injury.
• Never operate machine with guards removed. Fingers can be caught between the chain sprocket.
• Do not operate machine in (REV) reverse. Operating

machine in reverse can result in rod damage and is used only to back tool out of an obstruction.

• Start engine with shift lever in NEUTRAL position. Shift lever must also be in NEUTRAL (straight up) position when adding or removing tools and rod or any other time when machine is not in use. Prevents unexpected rotation of rods.
• Disconnect spark plug when performing maintenance on Rodder or engine. This action will prevent accidental starting and serious injury.
• Operate rodder properly. Do not operate with more than 20 feet of rod between machine and manhole. The arcing of rod at manhole should not exceed 3 feet. This will minimize the possibility of kinking rods and serious injury.
• When striking an obstacle that causes the tool to hang-up, do not attempt to force the machine by manually pushing on the exposed rods. Do not uncouple rods that are in a stressed condition. This will cause kinking and whipping of the rods which could cause serious injury.
• Do not overstress rods. Do not use badly worn or bent rods. Be sure torque limiter is adjusted properly to 50 ft.-lbs. maximum. Overstressing rods because of obstruction can be dangerous to operators as rods may twist or kink.
• Use caution when handling gasoline. Refuel in well-ventilated area. Do not overfill fuel tank and do not spill fuel. Make sure tank cap is closed properly. Gasoline is extremely flammable and is explosive under certain conditions.
• Never run the engine in an enclosed or confined area. Exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide gas; exposure may cause loss of consciousness and may lead to death. Exhaust also contains chemicals that the State of California believes may cause cancer or reproductive harm.
• Be careful not to touch the muffler while it is hot. To avoid severe burns or fire hazards, let the engine cool before transporting or storing it indoors. The muffler becomes very hot during operation and remains hot for a while after stopping the engine.
• Only use the K-1000 to clean straight drain lines 8" to 24" in diameter. Follow instructions on the use of the machine. Other uses or modifying the rodder for other applications may increase the risk of injury.
• Do not use tool if releasing the throttle does not stop the rod rotation. Any tool that cannot be controlled is dangerous and must be repaired.

Maintenance Instructions

WARNING

Disconnect spark plug when performing maintenance on rodder or engine.

Torque Limiter

(Figures 4 & 5)

The purpose of the torque limiter is to minimize kinking of rods and excessive torque through the transmission system. Kinking is caused by heavy blockage within pipe and must be adjusted to no more than 50 ft.-lbs. (600 inch-lbs.).

The torque limiter consists of two fiber discs with one assembled on either side of the drive sprocket A-3569. When clamped against sprocket, the torque limiter produces the only connection between drive shaft B-3548 and drive sprocket A-3569.

Torque Limiter Adjustment Using Torque Wrench

(Figures 4 & 5)

1. Disconnect spark plug wire.
2. Remove 3 screws and guard to expose torque limiter.

3. Back off three cap screws so they do not contact backup plate. They are now free to be turned by hand.

4. Back off torque limiter threaded ring until it turns freely. Hand-tighten torque limiter threaded ring against backup plate.

5. Hand-tighten three cap screws to make contact with backup plate.
   NOTE! This insures that all three screws provide even pressure against backup late at beginning of torque adjustment.
6. Insert a ^3/_16 " hex key or pin through both sides of chain near drive sprocket to lock chain.
7. Insert torque testing tool into shaft B-3548 and lock in place with drive pin.
8. Install a 1 inch socket on torque wrench and apply torque to torque testing tool. Record torque reading at which torque limiter slips.
9. If torque reading is less than 50 ft.-lbs. tighten the 3 cap screws uniformly and recheck torque reading. If torque reading is greater than 50 ft.-lbs. loosen the 3 cap screws uniformly and recheck torque reading.
   NOTE! Turn cap screws 14 turn for initial adjustment. Reduce to 18 turn or less for final adjustment to obtain 50 ft.-lbs. reading.

2. Snap socket drive handle into a 1 inch socket and install on torque testing tool.
3. Measure 12 inches from center of socket along socket drive handle and attach spring scale.
4. Pull on spring scale until torque limiter slips. Scale should read 50lbs.
5. Repeat step 9 above until 50 lbs. reading is obtained.

Engine

Always check engine oil level. For complete directions on engine maintenance, consult the Engine manual enclosed.

Transmission

The transmission needs no relubrication, however, a leak in a seal could allow grease to be depleted after several hours. Such a leak will be obvious and should be corrected.

Centrifugal Clutch

Centrifugal clutch will automatically engage when the throttle is opened. No maintenance should be necessary. However, if slippage should occur from dirt or grease entering clutch, the foreign material should be removed.

Wheel Assemblies

All four wheel assemblies should be greased once a year. The grease fitting is located on the inside face of the hub.

Checking Engine Idle (RPM) Speed

After engine has started, squeeze throttle handle to REV engine at high speed and immediately release so that engine returns to idle.

▲WARNING At idle speed the drive shaft should not be turning. If drive shaft does turn, make sure that Throttle Control Spring is connected or adjust idle speed at the throttle cable handle by loosening stop nut and adjusting cable length (Figure 1).

Throttle Adjustment

Throttle control is factory set and should not require adjustment. If idle speed seems too high or engine does not speed up when throttle is pulled check throttle linkage.

1. Check speed adjustment by adjusting cable position; loosen clamp at bracket and move slightly.
2. For idle adjustment and mixture control, refer to engine manual enclosed.

"V" Belt Tension Adjustment

"V" Belt should be checked at least once a month. Belt tension should be just enough to drive maximum load at

high speed with throttle open. Excess belt tension will cause the centrifugal clutch to creep at idle speed. "V" Belt is tightened by loosening engine mounting bolts and sliding engine to rear.

Main Bearings

The Main Bearings should be greased after using machine on 12 jobs or once every three months, whichever comes first. Guard must be removed to grease front main bearing. Chain should be checked and greased while guard is removed.

⚠ WARNING Do not use machine with guard removed.

Storing of Rods

Rods should be thoroughly flushed with water to prevent damaging effect of some drain cleaning compounds. Periodically, lubricate rods and couplings with oil. When storing, uncouple rods. Do not store in a coil since this could cause bending and damage.

Tool Storage

⚠ WARNING Motor-driven equipment must be indoors or well covered in rainy weather. Store the machine in a locked area that is out of reach of children and people unfamiliar with machine. This machine can cause serious injury in the hands of untrained users.
