dwelling VAC systems, air ducts up to Ø 250 mm, exhaust gas lines from 80-150
mm, connecting flue pipes and flue outlet pipes of tiled stoves. A mains
powered or re-chargeable-battery powered drill is used to rotate the threaded
cleaning attachments (brush heads and impact brushes). The scope of supply

Preparing for use
Fitting the cleaning attachment
ATTENTION!
Use only brush head or impact brush attachments made of Perlon.
- Screw the lock nut (3) on to the cleaning attachment.
- Screw the cleaning attachment (brush head or impact brush) (1) into the coupling (2).
- Use a wrench to hold the lock nut in position and tighten the cleaning attachment using a second wrench. Fig. 4: Cleaning attachment (1) coupling with female thread M10 (2) and locknut (3)
NOTE!
It is particularly important to tighten the cleaning attachment using two wrenches, because this will ensure the cleaning attachment will not work loose in use.
Connecting the power drill
WARNING!
If the brush suddenly becomes blocked, there is a risk the power drill will be
ripped violently out of your hands. Consequently, we recommend you use a power
drill with a torque clutch.
- Insert the power drill connector of the rotary viper into the drill chuck. Observe the instructions in the operating manual belonging to the power drill and obey the safety instructions in particular.
Using the rotary viper
-
Before using, unroll the rotary viper fully.
-
Power on the power drill to make the cleaning attachments rotate.
-
ATTENTION!
- The rotary viper must only rotate clockwise. If it rotates anticlockwise, there is a risk the attached brush will work loose.
- Clockwise direction of rotation: Max. 1 300 rpm with cleaning attachment
- Anticlockwise direction of rotation: Max. 650 rpm with brush head
-
ATTENTION!
Friction will cause the temperature of the sheath to rise if the rotary viper is used for longer periods of time. Ensure the specified operating temperature of 80°C is not exceeded, otherwise the sheath of the rotary viper will be damaged. -
ATTENTION!
Do not tread on the rotary viper when it is in use. Do not allow it to strike against the floor. That could damage the sheath of the rotary viper and degrade its anti-friction properties. -
ATTENTION!
Avoid overloading: If the cleaning attachment can no longer rotate in a pipe, stop the rotary viper rotating and push it through the pipe to be cleaned without any rotation. Rotate the cleaning attachment of the rotary viper first when you are pulling it back.
Maintenance
- The Wöhler rotary viper requires very little maintenance. The bearings in the end pieces are self-lubricating. The core is sufficiently greased with high-quality graphite lubricant.
- After it has been in use for a long time it is possible that the grease in the core will need to be replenished. This will become noticeable by the protective PA sheath becoming unusually warm. It should be returned to the factory for the grease to be replenished.
