In addition to “walk-in” operation, the Rodrunner can be set up close to the drain opening, making it much easier to work in small spaces.

For close-up work, the wheel brake is set, the power switch is placed next to the machine to be used as a foot switch, and the cable guide hose is attached. Now the Rodrunner is ready to handle the toughest stoppages in 3" to 10" lines, as far away as 200 feet.

The machine has a two-way chuck handle, which can be set to work like a “dead man’s throttle,” or it can be locked against the cable, so you have both hands free to hold the cable. This is a feature that’s really useful on tough jobs.

A heavy-duty 3/4 hp motor with capacitor and overload protection spins the cable at 485 rpm, an ideal speed for self-feeding into the line while protecting the cable against sudden torque build-ups. For additional protection, the Rodrunner has an adjustable slip clutch, which is factory set at 100 inch pounds.






Ten foot “Cable Saver” sections for the Rodrunner come in the all purpose Flexichain which has a chain center, and a stiffer Proflex which has a spring center.
