Model 88

You Walk While It Works

Manufacturer: General Pipe Cleaners
Manufacturer: General Pipe Cleaners
SPECIFICATIONS
Diameter: 75 - 250mm
Thickness: 22 - 32mm
Motor: Electric
Dimensions: 53 x 50 x 78 cm
Weight: 36 kg
This machine is almost as easy to run as a lawn
mower. 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 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 against sudden torque build-ups.
Sections come in two styles: all-purpose
Flexichain, which has a chain center, and the
stiffer Proflex, which has a spring center. A
chain assures easier cable retrieving if the
Flexichain spring should break. The inner
spring in the Proflex gives it greater stiffness,
which is desirable on long or tough jobs. The outer spring is
right-hand wound for faster self-feeding.
Both types of couplings snap together in a second and are taken
apart quickly with a spanner wrench or screw driver. With the
newer "G’’ connector, no tension is on the locking pin when
running in reverse, making it a more durable coupling. Snap on
the 78L-CDC optional adapter, and you can use 6 ft. x 7/8" cables
(6L78) to clear smaller lines.

Sectional Cables
Eight and ten foot "Cable Saver” sections for the Model 88 come
in the all purpose Flexichain which has a chain center,
and a stiffer Proflex which has a spring center. Proflex is also
available with a heavier duty 5/8" spring center. 

Automatic Safety Clutch
Protects cable and operator in case
the cable should get caught in the line.
Factory set at 18 – 20 ft. lbs. but can be
adjusted easily for very heavy jobs or
longer runs.

Cable Feeding Tool
It enables cable to get around tight bends and
traps by taking advantage of open-wound design
of cables. Note that operator controls machine by
using power switch in foot pedal mode.

Pneumatic Power Switch
Air-actuated for safety. There is no
electrical connection between switch and
motor. Switch can be removed from handle
and used as a foot pedal when
working with the cable feeding tool.

Folding Handle
Gives Model 88 a low profile for more
convenient storage and transport. Lift
handle, and locking collars slide into
place for secure operation. Handle on
front of frame and rear cross bar make
lifting and loading into car trunk easier.

No Wrench Coupler
G-CDC Cable Drive Coupler is standard on Model 88
units shipped with sections having "G” couplings.
Faster uncoupling at the
machine because large
knurled ring can be
opened instantly
without wrench.

Specifications:
Weight:
80 lbs. (36 kg) without cables.
Dimensions: 21" wide x 16" high with handle folded down. (53 cm x 41 cm)
Motor: 3/4 hp with capacitor and 20 ft. power cord with Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter; rotates 1-1/4" diameter cables at 500 rpm.
Gear Head: Rugged cast iron body, ball bearings, cut gears.
Wheels: 10" rubber rear wheels, 6" solid rubber caster wheel.
Combination Hand or Foot Operated Power Switch: Air activated for safety; no electrical connection between motor and switch; can be used as hand or foot switch. Eleven foot air hose.
Power Switch: Has an "off” position to de-activate the control switch.
Adjustable Safety Clutch: Factory set at 18 - 20 ft. lbs. Protected by a tamper-resistant snap-on cover.
Folding Handle: Reduces truck storage space. Flips down in a second but is completely secure in operating position.
