Fig.

with female thread M10 (2) and locknut
(3)
•Screw the locknut (3) on to the cleaning at-
tachment.
•
Screw the cleaning attachment (brush head or
impact brush) (1) into the coupling (2).
•
Use a wrench to hold the locknut in position
and tighten the cleaning attachment using a
second wrench.
NOTE!
It is particularly important to tighten the cleaning
attachment using two wrenches, because this will
ensure the cleaning attachment will not work
loose in use.
4.2 Connecting the power drill
WARNING!
If the brush suddenly becomes blocked, there is a
risk the power drill will be ripped violently out of
your hands. Consequently, we recommend you
use a power drill with a torque clutch.
•
Insert the power drill connector of the rotary
viper into the drill chuck. Observe the instruc-
tions in the operating manual belonging to the
power drill and obey the safety instructions in
particular.

Using the rotary viper

5 Using the rotary viper
•Before using, unroll the rotary viper fully.
•Power on the power drill to make the cleaning attachments rotate.
ATTENTION!
The rotary viper must only rotate clockwise. If it rotates anticlockwise, there is a risk the
attached brush will work loose.
Clockwise direction of rotation: Max. 1 300 rpm with cleaning attachment
Anticlockwise direction of rotation: Max. 650 rpm with brush head
ATTENTION!
Friction will cause the temperature of the sheath to rise if the rotary viper is used for
longer periods of time. Ensure the specified operating temperature of 80°C is not ex-
ceeded, otherwise the sheath of the rotary viper will be damaged.
ATTENTION!
Do not tread on the rotary viper when it is in use. Do not allow it to strike against the
floor. That could damage the sheath of the rotary viper and degrade its anti-friction
properties.
ATTENTION!
Avoid overloading: If the cleaning attachment can no longer rotate in a pipe, stop the
rotary viper rotating and push it through the pipe to be cleaned without any rotation. Ro-
tate the cleaning attachment of the rotary viper first when you are pulling it back.

Maintenance
18
7 Maintenance
The Wöhler rotary viper requires very little
maintenance. The bearings in the end pieces are
self-lubricating. The core is sufficiently greased
with high-quality graphite lubricant.
After it has been in use for a long time it is possi-
ble that the grease in the core will need to be re-
plenished. This will become noticeable by the
protective PA sheath becoming unusually warm. It
should be returned to the factory for the grease to
be replenished.

Warranty and Service
8 Warranty and Service
8.1 Warranty
Each Wöhler Rotary Viper Vent will be tested in all
functions and will leave our factory only after ex-
tensive quality control testing.
If used properly, the warranty period for the Wöh-
ler Rotary Viper Vent will be twelve month from
the date of sale.
Not covered by the warranty are cleaning attach-
ments (brush head made of Perlon or threaded
brush), because they are consumables.
This warranty does not cover the freight and pack-
ing costs when the device is sent to the factory for
repair.
Service by non authorized personnel or making
modifications to the analyzer voids any warranty.
8.2 Service
Wöhler has built our reputation on excellence in
customer service. Therefore, of course, we are
readily available to assist you after the warranty
period ends.
•
Send us the device and we will repair it and
return it to you with our package service.
•
Immediate help is provided by our technical
staff over the telephone.
