General Safety & Operating Tips (cont.)
Connecting Rods: 1. Depress button and slip rods together
2. Be sure button is fully engaged and rods are locked together before spinning into chimney.
Disconnecting Rods: 1. Use pointed end of hex key (included) to depress button. Use a slight angle when depressing button to help push rods apart. Caution: Be very careful not to drop the rods into the chimney if cleaning from the top down.
How to tell when you’ve reached the “Top” of the chimney flue: If cleaning from the bottom up;
A. With rain cap installed: spin rods and whip up into chimney until you hear & feel the whip contact the under side of cap. Use caution when approaching the height of the cap. Go slowly when feeding rods upward to prevent pushing cap off chimney. B. Without rain cap installed: When the whip exits top of chimney, the rods will spin more freely resulting from less torque on rods. How to tell when you’ve reached the “Bottom” of the chimney flue: If cleaning from the top down; A. You may want to drop a rope or string down chimney to measure height prior to rotary cleaning. This will indicate how many rods will be needed. Use caution when approaching the bottom of flue to avoid punching through plastic (if used). B. You may also lower the whip into the chimney one rod at a time without spinning until you reach the bottom and then spin rods as you pull them out of chimney.
Cleaning the Rain Cap: Spin the “Chimney Whip” up into the screening of the chimney cap in one direction and then the opposite direction to clean all corners of the cap. Note: Most caps are larger than the chimney flue. It may be necessary to clean cap before trimming whip to fit chimney flue. Use caution when approaching the height of the cap. Go slowly when feeding rods upward to prevent pushing cap off chimney.
