This video shows step-by-step instructions to easily replace the jaws on your General Pipe Cleaners Root 66 sectional drain cleaning machine. Bill Wheeler, a retired General sales rep from Florida, has trained customers how to replace worn jaws on the Root 66 for more than 20 years.
The General Pipe Cleaners Root 66 is a real advancement in sectional cable machine design. No mid-range machine has its versatility and power. You can drive 5/8-inch cable for lines up to 3 inches and 7/8-inch cables for 4-inch lines, and you can switch from one to the other in seconds, without touching the jaws, without an adapter, without tools. And for sink drain work, slip on a drum that holds smaller cables.
To operate, just feed a cable into the line and slide the back end into the machine. The excess cable goes into a guide tube. Turn on the sealed motor, press down on the handle, and the Root 66 starts spinning the cable at 400 rpm. The cable stops rotating as soon as you lift the handle, so there’s no additional torque buildup. When using a drum for small drain work, the drum stops turning when you lift the handle to the neutral position.
