ELECTRICAL SET UP REQUIREMENTS FOR MAXI MILLER POWER PLUS
Electrical shock can cause serious or fatal injury. Only qualified personnel
should install, maintain or troubleshoot this equipment.
Picote recommends that a properly trained electrician be available to wire a
power distribution box to whatever power source is available. In the case
where a generator is required, a minimum power requirement of 25,000
KW/KVA 3 Phase 480 volt is necessary.
The Power Plus is a dual voltage 3 phase power configuration. It uses a 10 gauge 4
wire cord.
Be sure the system is properly grounded/earthed before applying power. Do not apply power be-
fore you ensure that grounds are connected. Electrical shock can cause serious or fatal injury.
Follow the National Electrical Code (NEC) and local codes for the safe installation of the equip-
ment.
Do not operate the Power Plus Miller until you are sure that you are completely familiar with the
safe operation of the machine, all accessories and safety equipment. Improper use can lead to
severe injury. The user manual defines proper use of this equipment.
Contact Picote if you do not understand any procedure or operation concerning this
equipment or the user manual.

TRANSPORT
Picote tools should be transported in car or other vehicle properly secured to prevent any sudden movements caused
by hard braking or accident. Using lidded boxes which are fastened and stored on the boom of a van is recommen-
ded.
Never transport machine with tool aached to the sha.
If using pick-up or trailor to transport Picote machine or tools, cover the products to protect them from raining water
and dust.
STORAGE
It is recommended that tools are stored indoors protected from rain and sunlight and in constant ambient temperature.
Clean used Twister+ with fresh water aer taken our from the pipe. Store in place where tool can dry out properly.
Constant water exposure and aached dirt expose tool to rust.
This secon contains important safety informaon. Failure to comply could result in serious injury or death.

AVAILABLE SIZES & POWER SOURCES
The Twister+ products have a variety of different application purposes. When a correct
tool head is adapted the main purpose of the Twister+ is to be used for reinstatements.
With the Crusher head, the Twister+ can be used to remove collapsed linings, concrete,
limestone or nails & other metal inserts. The actual Smart Crusher tool with a different
body is recommended for tough removal work.
Selecting the correct Twister+ for the job
Choose your Twister+ according to the size of the original host pipe.
Place the tool completely inside the drain before powering up the tool.

Assembly Instrucons—the Smart Crusher Heads
Step 1. Insert the lock washers and hex bolts into their
slots. Recommended: Locte 542 Thread Sealant
Step 2. Place the Smart Crusher blades into their slots. Pay close aenon to
alignment as seen on the next page.

Step 3. Place every second blade in alternave slots of the
body.
The Smart Crusher can only operate at maximum diameter when the bla-
des are inserted correctly. The two opposite blades need to be closer to
the centre. If the blades are placed incorrectly the head may not be
able to progress through the pipe.

Step 4. Insert the mounng bolts and nuts. Tighten bolts.
Locking nuts must be used! Recommended: Locte 542
Step 5. Place the rest of bolts and locking nuts into their place as per step 4.

Select the correct size tooling and drill head for your job. Ensure water is owing in the pipe or the
vacuum extracon is ready (dry cleaning). Venlate the working area properly. Ensure that all me-
tallic drain pipes are grounded/earthed. The Twister+ causes high fricon and there is risk of elec-
tric shocks. Verify the locaon to posion the Twister+ with a CCTV camera. Place the Twister+
inside the pipe ensuring that legs t completely inside the drain before turning the power on.
Using the Twister+ products
Before starng work
During use
Switch the power on. Inially start the Twister+ at a lower speed and then slowly increase the
speed. Adjust the speed while working. Tightly hold the sha. Move the tool in a back and forth
movement within the pipe. Always use a CCTV camera to check how you are progressing.
Do not force the tool through the pipe—let the tool do the work. If too much force or excessive
high speed is used the tool might get stuck resulng in damaging or breaking the tool, sha or
the pipe. Use either water or vacuum to remove the debris. Use a lower speed when working in
fragile or damaged secons of the pipe.
PLEASE NOTE: Take all the sha out from the reel when possible. It prevents the outer casing from
melng and provides more power to the tool head. Where water cooling is not being used (air/
vacuum situaons), you need to take breaks every 10—15 min as the tool head gets very hot
during use. Always wear heat resistant gloves aer the machine has been switched o and the
power supply isolated. The tools can then be cooled down using water or le to cool in the open
air. Always observe the temperature of the outer casing and let the Maxi Miller Power+ cool
down aer every 30 min periods of constant work.
Please read safety informaon on
page 3 before assembly and use.

Using Twister products
Aer use
WARNING: Turn the power o and isolate the supply before you remove the tool from the pipe.
There is a risk of serious injury or death! The tool can be very hot. Carefully take the tool out
from the pipe
Check out the condion of the tooling and sha. Replace worn-out parts. If sha looks damaged,
remove decrepit part with an angle grinder and shorten outer casing accordingly.
Where required the Twister+ drill head or drill blades can be sharpened with a grinder. Do not
remove more material than you must because the outer hard layer is only 2-3 mm thick.
Please read safety informaon on
page 3 before assembly and use.
Take all the sha out from the reel when possible. It prevents the outer casing
from melng and provides more power to the tool head.
Do not power up the Twister+ products outside of the pipe! The tooling needs to
t completely inside the pipe before use.
Select rotaon speed between 650—1200 rpm. Opmal rotaon speed is nor-
mally between 1000 rpm and 1200 rpm.
Use water cooling when possible.
Always take a break aer every 15 mins to prevent outer casing from melng.
Regularly inspect the condion of the outer casing.
