How to Operate
- Attach the appropriate head: Drain Head for sinks, Wash Drain/Floor Drain Head for basins/showers/tubs/floor drains, or Inflatable Toilet Head for toilets.
- Consult the Pressure Guide to determine the correct air pressure for your application.
- Connect the AC Adapter to the Power Connection on the device.
- Plug the AC Adapter into an AC outlet.
- Turn on the Compressor On/Off Switch. Monitor the air pressure on the Pressure Gauge. Do not run the compressor for more than 30 seconds.
- When the correct pressure is reached, turn the compressor OFF and disconnect the power cable. Tip: For pipe protection, start with minimum recommended pressure and increase if needed.
- Hold the Electric Plumber over the drain at a 90° angle, pressing firmly to create a seal and prevent splashing. If dealing with connected sinks, block the second drain. For toilets, attach the Inflatable Toilet Head and squeeze the hand pump until a tight seal is formed inside the toilet.
- Press the Pressure Release Trigger to release a burst of compressed air to clear the clog or odor.
- Repeat steps 5-8 if necessary. Do not exceed maximum recommended pressure. To prevent overheating, do not use the device more than 6 times consecutively.
