camera through bends. Do not force the camera head

through if there is a large amount of resistance. Be es-

pecially careful through Tee's, as the pushrod could fold

over in the Tee and make retrieval difficult or impossible.

Watch to make sure that the drum does not hang up

during use. If the drum hangs up and the pushrod con-

tinues to be pulled from the reel, the pushrod will tighten

around the hub of the drum and cause the pushrod to jam

in the drum and stress the pushrod.

Pushrod

Figure 18 – Avoid Pulling At Sharp Angles

When inspecting the line, moving the camera head past

the area to be inspected and slowly pulling it back may

give better results. Usually pulling the camera head back

allows for more controlled and consistent viewing. When

pulling the pushrod, keep clear of any sharp edges and do

not pull at sharp angles to the inlet to prevent damage to

the pushrod (Figure 18) . If needed, jiggle the camera

head in any standing water to rinse any debris from the

camera window.

Depending on what is encountered during the inspection,

it may help to add, remove or change the position of ball

guides on the camera head. Ball guides may be able

direct the camera towards a section of the line (such as

the top), raise the camera head out of the liquid in the

pipe, or help negotiate bends. This is especially so at tight

turns such as in a toilet flange (See Figures 19-22) . See

the Assembly Section for information on ball guide at-

tachment.
