TIPS IN THE FIELD
14
1.) Run water down line to keep sapphire window clean
and clear. Jiggle the head a little bit in the water for best
clarity.
2.) If you stand too far back while pushing cable it may
cause the cable to kink. Give your self enough room to
push but not too much slack.
3.) DO NOT FORCE camera or cable down line. If you
feel it just doesn’t want to push stop pushing. It is for this
reason cable will snap or fail.
4.) In some cases it is necessary to give the camera a
little more momentum to go through certain areas of a
pipe. Back up the camera holding one hand at the entry
point and gathering up slack with the other as it feeds
from the reel. With the slack make a figure eight with
cable and twist back and fourth. This will pop the camera
through. Please see diagram below.
TIPS IN THE FIELD cont.
15
5.) DO NOT hammer or slam the camera into pipe
where it is just not pushing through. Use the technique
described on tip 4. After you are comfortable with your
system it may be easier to push thru the pipe fast and
slowly pull back for your actual inspection. Pulling the
camera back is always easier than pushing it through
6.) Pro-Built Tools Camera Systems have an
automatic light adjustment. If the automatic light
adjustment is not enough due to unusual circumstances
in different or difficult pipe use your dimmer control knob
to adjust for better picture quality.
7.) This camera is made to function through several
bends and 90 degree angles. If it is resisting in any
T or P-Trap do not force the unit. If you do manage to
get through a tough T be careful not bend the camera
head back on itself, as it may cause damage to the unit.
8.) After using your camera in a pipe pull it out and wipe
the cable and head down with a moist warm towel and
regular household detergent or soap. This will keep your
equipment functioning longer.
