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
before 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
equipment.
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

AVAILABLE SIZES & POWER SOURCES
The Smart Spider is to a specialty tool for cleaning fragile or damaged pipes. The Smart
Spider can go through pipes which have lost small sections without getting stuck. The
Smart Spider legs adapt to the pipe size when the tool rotates. A Drill Head can be used
if required.
Selecting the correct Smart Spider for the job
Choose your Smart Spider according to the size of the original host pipe.

CHOOSING YOUR POWER SOURCE
The Smart Spider, with the 18mm/¾” diameter shaft, has been designed for and can
ONLY be operated with the Picote Maxi Miller Power+ machine.
The machine should only be connected to a 380-480 Volt (3-phase) power supply.
The power source has to be grounded (earthed).
CHOOSING YOUR DRILL HEAD
The Smart Spider can be used with or without the Drill or Crusher Heads by adding a Hub
Disc. The Drill Head and the Crusher are used when there is blockage in the centre of the
pipe.
If the Smart Spider can fit through the pipe without the Drill Head, the tool should be
used without one. Without the Drill Head all the force is applied to the legs.

Using the Smart Spider
Before starng work
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 metallic drain pipes are grounded/earthed. The
Smart Spider causes high friction and there is risk of electric shocks. Verify the
location to position the Smart Spider with a CCTV camera. Place the Smart
Spider inside the pipe ensuring that legs fit completely inside the drain before
turning the power on.
During operaon
Switch the power on. Inially start the Smart Spider at a lower speed and then slowly increase
the speed. Adjust the speed while working. Hold the sha ghtly. Move the tool in back and forth
movement in 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 lower speed when working in
fragile or damaged secons of the pipe.
PLEASE NOTE: Where water cooling is not being used (air/vacuum situations), you need to take
breaks every 10—15 min as the tool head gets very hot during use. Always wear heat resistant
gloves after the machine has been switched off and the power supply isolated. The tools
can then be cooled down using water or left to cool in the open air. Always observe the
temperature of the outer casing and let the Maxi Miller Power+ cool down after every 30 min
periods of constant work.
Please read safety information on
page 3 before assembly and use.
NEVER SWITCH ON THE SMART SPIDER OUTSIDE OF THE PIPE! The cung head
needs to t completely inside the pipe before turning power on and using the
tool. Failure to comply could lead to serious injury or death.
