2. Set the microDrain Reel approximately six feet (two
meters) from the entry point. This provides ample
pushrod for grasping and manipulating without excess
dragging on the ground. When properly located, push
cable will only come off the reel when you pull it.
Preferably, lay the microDrain Reel on its back with
the camera unit and pushrod on top. There are foot
pads provided on the cord wrap to allow placement
in this position. This position provides the greatest
stability and helps to prevent tipping of the reel dur-
ing use.
Operating Instructions
WARNING
Always wear eye protection to protect your eyes
against dirt and other foreign objects.
When inspecting drains that might contain haz-
ardous chemicals or bacteria, wear appropriate
protective equipment, such as latex gloves, goggles,
face shields or respirators, to prevent burns and in-
fections.
Do not operate this equipment if operator or ma-
chine is standing in water. Operating machine while
in water increases the risk of electrical shock.
Rubber soled, non-slip shoes can help prevent slip-
ping and electric shock, especially on wet sur-
faces.
Follow operating instructions to reduce the risk of
injury from electrical shock and other causes.
1. Make sure all equipment is properly set up.
2. Pull several feet of pushrod from the reel. Make sure
the camera window is clean. In some cases, a slight
film of detergent on the window may minimize debris
sticking to the window. Place the camera unit into the
line to be inspected.
If running the camera through a porcelain
fixture (such as a toilet) or in an inlet with sharp
edges that could damage the pushrod, you may
want to use a guide made of PVC or other non mark-
ing pipe to prevent damage to the fixture or the
pushrod.

3. Turn the CCU on. As per the specific CCU operator
manual, adjust the camera head LED lighting bright-
ness and the display image. As the pipe material
and other factors vary, it may be necessary to make

MINIPak Monitor CCU
If using a microDrain System set up for use with a
microEXPLORER Camera monitor, it can be converted
for use with other SeeSnake CCU’s (or vice versa) by
changing the system cable as detailed in the assembly
section.
Set up the microEXPLORER Camera monitor or CCU as
per its instructions. If using the microEXPLORER Camera
monitor or a battery powered CCU, make sure that the re-
quired batteries are fully charged and installed.
Placement
1. Place the microEXPLORER Camera monitor or CCU
monitor to allow easy viewing while manipulating the
pushrod and camera. Usually right next to the entry
point for the pushrod is a good choice. The location
should not be wet or allow the monitor unit to get wet
during use.
