dry area.
• Make certain that the power source conforms to the requirements of
the equipment.
•DANGER: For proper protection this product must be grounded. Always plug
the power cord into a properly grounded receptacle. Improper connection
of the equipment-grounding conductor introduces risk of electrocution.
Check with a qualied electrician or service personnel if you are in doubt as to
whether an outlet is properly grounded. Never remove the grounding prong
from the power cord plug.
• This unit is equipped with a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) at the plug
end of the cord for electrocution protection. DO NOT REMOVE THIS DEVICE!!

• Do not roll the machine over the power cord, pull the cord, close a door on the
cord or pull the cord around sharp corners. Keep the cord away from
hot surfaces.
• Do not use the machine if it has a damaged cord or plug.
Operational Precautions
• Maximum water pressure; 100 p.s.i.
• Water pressure relief – If water pressure exceeds 100 p.s.i., water will vent
under chassis.
• Do not use in an environment or on objects that are above 175°F (79°C).
• Do not use with ammable or explosive uids such as gasoline, fuel oil,
kerosene, etc. Do not use in explosive atmospheres.
• Keep clear of moving shaft. Make sure the shaft will not catch on anything
while in use.
• Check exible shaft for weak or worn condition before each use. Make certain
that all connections are tight and secure.
• If the machine does not operate properly or is damaged contact Goodway
Customer Service.
• Disconnect the plug from the power source and turn off water supply
before disconnecting hoses, ttings, or exible shaft and before making any
adjustments or changing accessories. Such preventive safety measures reduce
the risk of starting the unit accidentally.
• Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts,
and any other condition which may affect the tool’s operation. If damaged,
have the tool serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained tools.
• If servicing this unit, 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 electric shock or injury.
• Be sure to select the proper size exible shaft and tool for the job. Do not force
the tool. Use the correct tool for the application.
• WARNING Use only Goodway-approved chemicals in the dispenser-
incompatible chemicals can cause damage or unwanted reactions.
• INSPECT CHEMICAL CAP AND DISPENSER FOR DAMAGE AND WEAR—if any
cracks are detected or if cap thread diameter is less than 4.25 in., CAP and
DISPENSER MUST BE REPLACED.
• DANGER!! DO NOT OPERATE THE UNIT WITH COVER(S) REMOVED - WHEN
MOVING PARTS AND ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS ARE EXPOSED!!!

The RAM-PRO-XL Ream-A-Matic
How It Works
The RAM-PRO-XL Ream-A-Matic uses a brush or other cleaning tool on the end
of a rotating, nylon-encased exible steel shaft. As the operator feeds the rotating
brush/shaft assembly through the tube, the brush or tool loosens any deposits
(mud, sand, etc) and water ows through the casing to ush them out. An electronic
valve automatically opens the water ow only when shaft is rotating. The RAM-PRO-
XL is designed for both enhanced-bore (internally “ried” or grooved) and smooth-
bore tubes with an inside diameter (ID) between 1/4" and 1" (6.4/25.4mm).
•Enhanced Tubes
The rotational speed of the cleaning tool controls the linear feed rate of the
shaft into the tube. It is important to minimize slip between the brush and the
grooves in the tube. Too much slip (rotational speed exceeds the natural feed
rate of the helix in the tube) won’t allow the brush bristles to reach into the
grooves, leaving them fouled. However, if the brush is not rotating fast enough
the opposite can happen and the operator can end up pushing the brush
bristles past some of the grooves.
• Smooth-Bore Tubes
The operator needs only to select a comfortable rotational speed.
Setting the Speed
• The rotational speed of the exible shaft is controlled by the Speed Control on
the unit’s control panel.
• For enhanced tubes start speed at 400 RPM. Increase speed as needed.
• For smooth-bore tubes set the speed at 800 rpm, change if necessary.

Forward/Reverse Foot Pedal
• The direction the shaft rotates is controlled by the two-way foot pedal.
• Clockwise rotation is considered the “Forward” direction
• Position the foot pedal like the gas pedal of a car and rock your foot back and
forth to control direction.

Operation
• Connect water hose to water inlet of no more than 100 p.s.i.. Use clean water
supply. Make sure screen washer is in place.
• Make sure cap is on dispenser and machine is off so water does shoot out
of dispenser. One can add more Tablets with the machine unactivated for 5
seconds or more. When pressure in the dispenser vents through shaft, the cap
can then be removed.
• Open water supply line. Water will ow through the exible shaft assembly
only when the machine is running. DO NOT RUN THE UNIT DRY!!
• Plug electric cord into an outlet with appropriate voltage and amperage.
Test the GFCI by pushing the “Test” button and then the “Reset” button. The
“POWER ON” light should light up. If not, push the “Reset” button and
try again.
• Make sure drive manifold of the machine is parallel to oor.
• Select proper size cleaning tool and attach to end of exible shaft. Never use a
tool larger than I.D. of tube.
Note: Most tubes are rolled outward at tube sheet. Always measure I.D.
beyond roll or consult manufacturer’s manual for tube O.D. and gauge.
• Remove foot switch from storage compartment and place it in a convenient
position for operation.
• Uncoil exible shaft completely and arrange the shaft in the largest loop
possible to minimize “helixing” (shaft coiling on itself under power).
• GTC-701 thru -704 - Position the stop on the exible shaft so when the shaft is
inserted into the tube up to the stop the tip of the cleaning tool is clear of the
end of the tube.
• Check the direction of the spiral in the tube and start with the appropriate
direction using the foot pedal. “FORWARD” on the machine is clockwise
brush rotation when facing the tube. Use the opposite rotational direction
(“REVERSE”) when extracting the tool from the tube.
• Insert brush/tool into the tube. Press “FORWARD” foot pedal. Feed the shaft
into the tube. DO NOT FORCE SHAFT DOWN TUBE - Allow machine to do
the work. If resistance is felt, back off 2"-3" (0.50 - 0.75 m) and feed shaft again
until it goes easily. If resistance is too great, use a smaller cleaning tool or
check tube for blockage.

Chemical Dispenser
• Unscrew cap
• Remove cup and
dump remaining
water in cup – The
purpose of the cup is
to remove water so
new tablets will not
displace remaining
water in the chamber
onto the machine.
• If the cap will not
unscrew, wait a few
seconds for pressure
to bleed from exible
shaft – At running
pressure of about
35 psi there is about
500 lbs pushing up
on cap and it will not
unscrew.
• Place tablet in cup
• Screw cap on just to
snug – Do NOT over
tighten – cap will be
hard to remove.
Roll Cage/Handle
• To roll the RAM-PRO-XL using the build-in dolly wheels, swing the handle out
until it stops.
• To stow the handle, push down until handle is ush with roll cage.

Connecting the SQC Flexible Shaft
• Select the proper size exible shaft for tube diameter and length to
be cleaned.
• Make sure the o-ring on the shaft insert is lubricated with appropriate grease
(compatible with “Buna-N” or “Nitrile”).

Shaft Nut
• Check manifold for debris and clean if necessary before attaching
exible shaft.
• Insert the square driver of exible shaft into the drive shaft of the machine
(inside the manifold). The shaft driver may have to be rotated slightly for
proper alignment.
• Push shaft insert with the o-ring all the way into the machine manifold.
• Push the shaft locking nut rmly into the quick connect latches until they click,
locking the nut in place.
• Make sure both latches are properly engaged by gently pulling on the shaft
Strain Relief.
• To remove, open latches by
pinching tabs together and pull
shaft out of manifold

Storage
Discard remaining chemical in cup and rinse. Then run clean water through RAM-
PRO-XL to rinse internal components. Disconnect water supply line. Disconnect the
exible shaft and use shaft lubricator, P/N GSL- 705, to prevent rusting of shaft. Do
not store machine where residual water in machine may freeze. Refer to Flexible
Shaft manual for exible shaft storage.
