Kinetic Water Ram™
If the toilet is only partly blocked, by an object such as a
toothbrush or pencil, loosely wad up a page of
newspaper and stuff it into the bowl. When the Ram is
fired, the balled-up newspaper will break up the blockage
and clear the line.
Two To Four Inch Sewers
When the Water Ram is used at the cleanout or floor
drain, connect the Ram to an Expansion Plug. If you
encounter a 4" floor drain that is a bit oversized for the 4"
Expansion Plug, wrap a piece of gasket rubber around
the expansion plug and make a snug fit before tightening
the plug.
Where there is more than one drain opening, always
apply the Ram where the water backs up first. Use the
Check Valve Assembly to add water to the line. (See
"Clearing Slow Draining Sinks And Tubs.")
discharge the Ram until the water appears on the floor at
the next opening. Other drain openings should be
covered to protect

against splash back.
Extreme Blockages
If the line is severely blocked, insert the Caulking Hose
furnished with Water Ram into the drain opening. An
excellent seal can be made by caulking the hose into the
drain by means of a wet rag. Then, while you hold the
hose down, fire the Ram using 30 to 40 lbs of pressure.
In extreme stoppages, remove the trap, attach a half-
inch reducing coupling to drain pipe and connect the
Ram. Attach the Water Supply Hose between faucet
and Check Valve Assembly on Ram. Turn on faucet so
that vent is filled with water. Two or three feet of water in
the vent or stack should be sufficient to clear the
blockage. Be sure to turn off the faucet before firing the
Ram. Apply 50 to 75 lbs. of pressure.
becomes difficult, attach an external compressor to the
Schraeder valve. Do not exceed 80 lbs.
Maintenance
The leather seal (G-15) in the Water Ram's pump should
be oiled every 3 to 6 months to keep it from drying out.
This can be done by lifting the pump rod up and then
applying a few drops of neat's foot (leather) oil through
the air hole.
The seals in the pump will wear with time and use. If the
Ram has difficulty holding pressure, you can easily
replace all the seals at the same time using the Ram
Repair Kit (Cat # KRRK).
The best method for cleaning rubber accessories is to
wash them in hot water with soap or detergent.
