6. Select proper size cleaning tool and thread onto end of flexible shaft. Never
use a tool larger than I.D. of tube.
Note: Brush and buffing tools for tubes
with quick connect couplings.
Note: Most tubes are rolled at tube sheet. Always measure I.D. beyond roll
or consult manufacturer's manual for tube O.D. and gauge.
7. Locate shaft locator on the outside of the flexible shaft (GTC-701, GTC-702,
GTC-703, GTC-704 and GTC-720 only) in a position so that when the shaft is
fully inserted in the tube, only half the cleaning tool extends outside the other
end of the tube. (GTC-721, GTC-721G and GTC-821 can be marked with a
tape).
8. When necessary, the drive unit can be used separately from the dolly by
removing the two plastic thumbscrews. (RAM-4 and RAM-4X).
9. Uncoil flexible shaft completely and feed it into the tube. DO NOT FORCE
SHAFT DOWN TUBE. Allow machine to do the work. If resistance is felt, back
off 2"-3" (51-76mm) and feed shaft again until it goes easily. If
resistance is too great, use a smaller cleaning tool.
10. For easiest operation, if possible, insert shaft into tube and allow to remain
there for several hours before starting in order to remove loops from flexible
shaft.
DRY APPLICATION – RAM-4X ONLY
The RAM-4X may be adapted for use without water flush. Follow steps 3 through
10 only under "OPERATION – WET APPLICATION".
Note: Specially designed flexible shaft (GTC-721) for dry application must be
used.
1. VACUUM PICK-UP: Use GTC-DPA assembly as shown below. Extension tube
nozzle (BFN-152S) can be ordered according
to the size of the tube to be cleaned.
