TheRAM‐PROReam‐A‐Matic®
HowItWorks
TheRAM‐PROReam‐A‐Matic®usesabrushorothercleaningtoolontheendofarotating,nylon‐encased
flexible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flowsthroughthecasingtoflushthemout.Anelectronic
valveautomaticallyopensthewaterflowonlywhenshaftisrotating.TheRAM‐PROisdesignedfortubeswith
aninsidediameterbetween1/4"and1"(6.4/25.4mm).

Forward/ReverseFootPedal
•Thedirectiontheshaftrotatesiscontrolledbythetwo‐wayfootpedal.
•Clockwiserotationfacingthetube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.Usecleanwatersupply.Makesurescreenwasherisinplace.
•Openwatersupplyline.Waterwillflowthroughtheflexibleshaftassemblyonlywhenthemachineis
running.DONOTRUNTHEUNITDRYASTHISMAYDAMAGETHESEAL!!
•Plugelectriccordintoanoutletin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floor.
•Selectpropersizecleaningtoolandattachtoendofflexible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footswitchfromstoragecompartmentandplaceitinaconvenientpositionforoperation.
•Uncoilflexibleshaftcompletelyandarrangetheshaftinthelargestlooppossibletominimize“helixing”
(shaftcoilingonitselfunderpower).
•Positionthestopontheflexible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.

RAM‐PROJAN20123|Page
•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.
•IMPORTANT:Onlyspiralbrushes(ENN,ESGB,GTC‐211,SGB,GTC‐200B,ENB,GTC‐210)canbeusedinthe
counter‐clockwisedirection.ATTEMPTINGTOSPINOTHERCLEANINGTOOLSINTHECLOCKWISE
DIRECTIONMAYRESULTINDAMAGETOTHEFLEXIBLESHAFT,TOOL,ORTUBE!!!

UsingtheQuick‐ConnectFlexibleShaft(PROShaftsOnly)
•Selectthepropersizeflexible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”).
•Checkunit’smanifoldfordebrisandcleanifnecessarybeforeattachingflexibleshaft.
•Insertthesquaredriverofflexibleshaftintothein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firmly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
