3 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Introduction
The drain cleaner consists of the following parts:
• Frame
• Cardan shaft
• Hydraulic system
• Reel
• Side arm with hose drive
• Distance indicator
• Guide arm
• Diaphragm pump
• Pressure regulator
• Filters
• Flexible hose section
• Cleaner nozzle
Frame
The frame has attachment points for transport with a forklift. The frame is designed for attachment
to your tractor's three-point linkage.
Cardan shaft
The drain cleaner is delivered complete with a cardan shaft. This may need to be shortened. The
cardan shaft is driven by the tractor PTO shaft.
Hydraulic system
The hydraulic system is connected to the tractor's double-acting valve or a single-acting valve
with pressure-free return. The machine is operated through use of the 4-way valve block. The
wind-out and wind-up speed is controlled by the speed control valve next to the valve block.
Reel
Due to its large diameter the reel can wind up a ushing hose with a maximum length of
500metres. The drain cleaner is equipped standard with a ushing hose of this length.
Side arm with hose drive
The side arm is operated with hydraulic cylinders to position the guide arm in front of the drain
pipe. The hose drive consists of four driven rubber rollers.
Distance indicator
The distance indicator is located behind the drive rollers. The indicator measures the rolled out
hose length and can indicate the location of the blockage.
Guide arm
For road transport the guide arm must be folded in and secured, in accordance with the
instructions in this manual.

3 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
EN
Diaphragm pump
The water pump is a suction diaphragm pump, driven by the tractor PTO. The recommended
pump speed is 350 to 370 rpm. The maximum allowable speed of the pump is 540 rpm.
Pressure regulator
You can adjust the water pressure with the pressure regulator. A handle on the pressure regulator
enables you to depressurize the pump, which may be desirable, for example, when positioning
the guide arm in line with the drain pipe. The optimum operating pressure is 30 - 35 bar.
Pump pressure (bar) Cleaner nozzle pressure
(bar)
L/min at 500 metres
20 3.8 45
25 6.1 50
30 6.7 55.5
35 9.9 58.3
40 11 65
50 12.8 68.7
The return hose for the pressure regulator is connected to the top of the guide arm. The water
‘lubricates’and cleans the ushing hose.
Filters
The suction hose is tted with a suction strainer. The suction strainer is located upstream of the
diaphragm pump.
Flexible hose section
The exible hose section between the ushing hose and cleaner nozzle ensures that the cleaner
nozzle remains in the middle of the drain pipe.
Cleaner nozzle
The standard cleaner nozzle has 13 holes: 1 forward-pointing hose and 12 backward-pointing
holes at a 15° angle.
• Before the arm can be retracted, it is necessary to ensure that the
ushing hose is not located in the folding part of the arm.
• Position the drain-shaft arch before the machine is folded in
(otherwise the drain-shaft arch will contact the reel).

4 COMMISSIONING
Introduction
• Check the drain cleaner for possible transport damage at the time of delivery. Report transport
damage to the carrier or Sieger immediately.
Cardan shaft
It may be necessary to shorten the cardan shaft (the inner and outer telescoping shaft sections
and both protective sleeves). See the instructions in the manual supplied with the cardan shaft.
Commissioning after winter storage
• Diaphragm pump: drain the antifreeze (if applicable). Dispose of the antifreeze in accordance
with national regulations.
Do not allow the pump to run longer than two minutes without a supply
of water.

5 OPERATION
EN
5 OPERATION
Introduction
The chapter provides information about operating the drain cleaner.
There is a danger of crushing and bodily injury in the machine's guide
arm zone. Never stand under the guide arm when it is raised.
Safety
• Never leave the tractor engine running in an enclosed area (not
even if the doors and windows are open) due to the risk of carbon
monoxide poisoning!
• The guide arm must never be used as a hoist.
• Always wear eye protection (safety glasses). Due to the high
pressure, small, hard objects can be ejected at high speed.
• Make the machine roadworthy prior to transport on public roads.
• Check the lighting. Have an assistant help you check the brake lights.
• Adjust the tractor mirrors if necessary.

5 OPERATION
EN
Connecting to the tractor
1. Ensure that the work area is adequately
lighted.
2. Hitch the drain cleaner to the tractor.
3. Disengage the PTO shaft and shut down
the engine on the tractor, and take the
ignition key with you.
4. Fit the cardan shaft (adapted to length if
necessary) to the tractor PTO shaft.
5. Secure the tractor end of the protective
sleeve to the tractor with the attachment
chain to prevent it from rotating with the
shaft.
6. Ensure that the protective sleeve on the
drain cleaner side is secured against
rotation with the other attachment chain.
7. Attach the hydraulic hoses; the connection
for the pump side is marked in red.
8. Connect the 7-pole connector for the brake
lights and direction indicators to the tractor
socket.
9. WR model: connect the plug for the
electrical circuit (black - / white +).
The maximum permissible speed of the tractor PTO shaft is 540 rpm.
Do not exceed this speed.
Do not use the chains to hang up the cardan shaft.
Do not stand on the cardan shaft.
The cardan shaft can become very hot during use. Do not touch the
cardan shaft during or soon after use.
• Rotating parts (cardan shaft).
• Only use the cardan shaft with the protective sleeve and protective
guards in place and in good condition.
• Maintain a safe distance from the rotating cardan shaft.
• Prior to maintenance on the cardan shaft:
• Disengage the PTO shaft and shut down the engine on the tractor.
• Remove the ignition key from the ignition lock cylinder.

the PTO.
Recommended speed for the pump is 350 – 370 rpm. Use the lowest possible speed necessary
to achieve the operating pressure of 30-35 bar.
Run the reel slowly to roll out the hose;
tighten the tension roller until the drive no
longer slips.
Reel out the hose carefully until the nozzle
is ±3 centimetres from the drain (lever 1).

Engage the pressure regulator and adjust it to 35 bar.
Reel out the hose at ±30 metres per minute. Retract the hose ±15 metres if the hose gets
stuck or the drive wheels slip. Then continue reeling out, assuming that the end has not yet
been reached.
If the cleaner nozzle gets stuck approximately 50 metres into the drain pipe due to heavy
deposits: retract the hose completely to ush the contamination out of the drain pipe. Repeat
to clean the next section of drain pipe.

• Prevent the polyethylene hose from kinking by positioning the drain-
shaft arch no more than 5 to 10 centimetres from the drain.
• Raise the drain cleaner until the angle of the PTO shaft is
approximately 10 degrees (maximum 12 degrees).
• Stop immediately when a blockage is reached.
• Stop immediately at the end of the drain pipe.
• Never allow the ushing hose to stand still in the drain pipe for more
than ten minutes.
• Retract the hose at a lower speed.
Ensure that no one is within the working zone around the machine when
the machine is in operation.
• Only remove the locking pin from the pivot point if the arm is resting
on the ground.
• Do not place your hands between the drive wheels.
When the cleaner nozzle is in the drain:
• Do not switch o the pump!
• Keep the hose under pressure!
• Never leave the machine unattended!
