PUSH CABLE AND CAMERA OPERATION

At the job site

Always wear rubber gloves to operate the camera for health and safety reasons. Properly positioning the cable reel will save time and strength to push out and in the cable, and minimize the rate of equipment damage.
- When pushing, the end of your stroke should be as close to the entry as possible. Standing too far back with an excess of cable between your hands and the entry may cause the cable to fold on itself outside the entry and damage the cable.
- Try to keep the push cable away from sharp edge of a pipe entry because this may cause damage. If the camera does not seem to go any far ther, DO NOT FORCE TO PUSH THE CAMERA! Try another entry if possible.
Always tr y to run water down the pipe undergoing inspection. This will keep the system much cleaner, and allow you to push noticeably far ther with less friction. If the water is preventing you from seeing an area of impor stance, temporarily turn it off.
When push the push cable through the pipeline by steady and slowly, a short distance entry per time, keeps the hands at the entrance, so that can control the push cable and prevent it stuck, bent or scratch.
When inspecting a pipe, most of the time a slow steady push through the system works the best. At changes in direction such as P-traps, Tee’s, Y’s, Elbows, etc. It is usually necessary to give a little extra push in the bends.
Back the camera head approximately 8” (20cm) from the bend, if necessary, and give it a quick push, “popping” the camera through a turn, using the least amount of force required. Try to be as gentle as possible, and do not hammer or snap the camera head through corners. After some practice, you may learn that the best way to inspect a section of pipe is to push the camera through quickly. Then draw the camera back home slowly and evenly.
Make sure the sapphire window is clean prior to entry. Some users claim that a slight film of detergent on the lens minimizes the possibility of grease sticking to the port. If necessary, take advantage of any standing water in the pipe to wash the front of the camera by jiggling it in the water.
When you place the camera head into the pipe remember, as the materials of pipe vary, it will be necessary to adjust the lighting settings to maximize picture quality.
The system can travel through multiple 45 and 90-degree bends and wyes. Do not, however, try to force it through a P-trap or see if there is a large amount of resistance.
NOTE! Do not try to use the camera head to clear obstructions. This System is a diagnostic tool, not a drain cleaner. Using the camera head to clear obstructions could damage the camera head or cause it to be caught in the obstruction.
Do not attempt to remove or stores push cable on the reel solely by turning the reel itse if. You can manually push or pull cable from the reel and wind or unwind it.
If the camera sits in a pipe, or an enclosed environment, heat will build up. This may lead to the camera head overheating which will cause fuzzy lines to appear on the monitor. In the event, this happens, turn off the system, remove the camera from the pipe (or enclosed environment) and let the camera head cool f or 10 to 15 minutes.
Running water into the line will also help cool the camera head. Always use the minimum illumination required to maximize picture quality and to avoid excessive heat build-up.

NOTE! The camera head can get HOT! When finished with your inspection, or if taking a prolonged break in the middle of the inspection, turn off the system.

Retrieving the push cable

Once the inspection has been completed, pull the push cable back with slow, steady force. Do not force the push cable or exert excessive force. This could damage the camera or push cable. The push cable may get hung up while being retrieved, and may need to be manipulated as did during insertion.
While take back the push cable, running water can be used to flush down the push cable. After recycling, you can wipe the push cable with a towel.
Note! NEVER USE SOLVENTS to clean any part of the system. Substances like acetone and other harsh chemicals can cause cracking of the camera ring, which could affect waterproofing.
Storing the push cable into the cable reel. One hand holds the push cable, the other hand close to the cable wheel.
Slowly and gently push the push cable slide via the hook of the handle, cable reel will rotate and store the push cable inside.

Note! The hands should be close to the cable wheel when storing the push cable. Push the push cable a small piece every try. Push a long distance can cause the push cable bend or broken.
