explosion proof. Electrical connections can cause
sparks.
• Clear, level, stable dry place for operator. Do not use
the machine while standing in water.
• Clear path to electrical outlet, that does not contain
any potential sources of damage for the power
cord, when using external power.
2. Inspect the work to be done if possible, determine the
drain access point(s), size(s) and length(s), pres-
ence of drain cleaning chemicals or other chemicals,
etc. If chemicals are present, it is important to under-
stand the specific safety measures required to work
around those chemicals. Contact the chemical man-
ufacturer for required information.
3. Determine the correct equipment for the application.
The SeeSnake LT1000 is made to view inspections
done with an inspection camera. Inspection equipment
for other applications can be found by consulting the
Ridge Tool Catalog, online at www.RIDGID.com or
www.RIDGID.eu.
4. Make sure all equipment has been properly inspected.
5. Evaluate the work area and determine if any barriers
are needed to keep bystanders away. Bystanders
can distract the operator during use. If working near
traffic, erect cones or other barriers to alert drivers.
6. If needed, remove fixture (water closet, sink, etc.) to
allow access.

LT1000 Placement

Position the SeeSnake Reel at the work site before
mounting the laptop onto the LT1000. To access the car-
rying handle for the SeeSnake Reel, fold the platform
wings back on both sides of the LT1000. The retaining
cord may be routed under the platform and hooked to the
cord hooks for transport.
Place the reel and LT1000 to allow easy access and
viewing while manipulating the camera and pushrod for an
inspection. Make sure that the location is not wet and will
not let the LT1000 and other equipment get wet during
use. The LT1000 is not waterproof and exposure to wet
conditions can cause electrical shock or equipment dam-
age.

Mounting the Laptop

1. Loosen the retaining cord by turning the capstan
clockwise.
2. Place the laptop squarely on the laptop platform with
the keyboard toward the LT1000 keypad.

3. Route the elastic retaining cord over the laptop and
hook it over the cord hooks, routing the cord so as not
to interfere with the laptop's operation.
4. Rotate the capstan handle counter-clockwise to
tighten the retaining cord firmly.
5. Lead the LT1000 USB cord to the laptop's USB port
and plug it into the port. Wrap any excess cord onto
the USB cord wraps. (See Figure 7).
