HOUSING
KEEP DRY Be sure to keep a camera frame or
control box (both in-use and out-of-use) out of
the “spray” of cable machines and jetters.
• Control panels are generally water
resistant, but not waterproof
• Electronics housing has venting for air
circulation, so it too is not water proof
• Keep reel interiors as dry as possible
Never use wet/dirty gloves when operating the
controls. This can get dirt/grit into the buttons
and cause them to not function properly.
GENERAL
NEVER USE A CAMERA TO CLEAR BLOCKAGES or
ram it to jump an oset. This can result in kinked or
broken pushrod, or damaged camera head.
TRAPS Don’t use this camera in any kind of traps.
Even if a trap seems large enough, due to the tight
turns involved, the camera could become lodged and
incur damage.
*Our DrainTracker is designed to go through traps.
If it’s an option, consider running water to reduce push
rod friction as you push the camera through a pipe.
Camera Care Tips Avoid costly repairs!
PUSHROD
Don’t use a camera in the same
line as a cable machine, the
spinning cable can damage both
the push rod and camera head.
Cleanouts and entrances can be
sharp; cover edges with a rag or
useour Tiger Tail guide to avoid
cutting the pushrod.
CAMERA HEAD
ALWAYS USE A POLY COVER, like our SnoBall
or IceBall camera guides. They are integral to
the functionality and protection of the camera
head. Keep a cover on the camera during
transport to protect the threads and the head.
At the end of the day, check the camera head
for damage and signs of
water ingress.
GUIDES
ICEBALLS The PGR systems include
multiple sizes suited for dierent
sizes of pipes.
• Remove the small IceBall
before adding a larger size.
• The 2.5” and 3” IceBalls are
rounded to help jump osets
Remove and clean
the threads
regularly. Not doing
this can result in
micro amounts of
crud hardening on the
threads making them dicult to
remove.
• Apply dielectric grease to
the threads periodically or
when changing sizes.
A SNOBALL guide is
included with our 1⁄"
camera head. Inspect
regularly for damage,
replace as needed.
CONNECTION
During transport, to avoid jarring the camera head /
push rod connection. Either:
• remove the camera head from the push rod, and
cap both rod and head with the protective caps
that came with the system
• or tuck the camera head inside the reel
To reconnect, align the push rod with the head and screw
on until snug and there are no skipped threads.
• Don’t over-tighten—never use tools to tighten
• Avoid getting grime on the connection components
When pulling the camera out
of the line, wipe the pushrod
down with a cleaning solution
on a rag.
When rewinding, stack the
push rod carefully into the reel
to avoid kinking.
