Operating Instructions
Placement
Set up your SeeSnake system near the pipe entrance so
you can manipulate the push cable while viewing the moni-
tor. Make sure that the drum can spin freely. Placing the reel
where the drum cannot spin freely may result in over-wind-
ing the cable, which may result in property damage and/or
serious injury.
Lay the See Snake on its back for greater stability, particular-
ly when on a rooftop, overhead entry, or hillside.
Inspection Overview
To perform a pipe inspection, connect any See Snake mon-
itor to the reel, power on the system, push the push cable
through the pipe, and observe the display.
For advanced inspection options, such as capturing media,
locating the sonde, tracing the push cable, and delivering
reports, refer to the manual that comes with your monitor.
Connecting to the Monitor
Connect the system cable to the monitor by aligning the
connector guide pin with the socket and pushing the con-
nector straight in.

Pipe Guides
Pipe guides center the camera in the pipe, improve picture
quality, and help keep the lens clear. Use pipe guides when
possible to reduce wear and tear on the camera system.
