Equipment Corner : Sewer Snake / Auger

Posted by rentalstop in General on February 5, 2021

Did you know one of the most rented items after the holidays is the sewer snake?

Instead of calling your local plumber, try renting a sewer snake and get the job done yourself, potentially saving over half the price.
How to Properly Snake a Sewer Drain
1. Locate the main line clean out and remove the cap.
2. Check for standing water in the pipe. If there is standing water you will want to run the drain machine cable toward the street. If there is no standing water and the toilets are stopped up you will run the cable toward the house.
3. Position the drain snake as close as possible to
the clean out.
4. Put on a pair of leather gloves.
5. Pull the head of the cable out and put it into the clean out and start to feed a few feet of cable into the pipe before turning on the machine.
6. Turn machine to forward position and turn it on. Slowly feed the cable into the drain while holding it steady.
7. When the tough spot is reached slowly ease the cable back and forward again until you feel resistance again. Do not attempt to force the cable through as this can tangle the snake cable up.
8. Continue to move the cable back and forth a few feet at a time until the clog has cleared.
9. Pull the cable back out and check the toilets and tub drains to ensure that everything is running well
before closing the cleanout. Flush the toilet multiple times to make sure the stoppage is truly clear before returning the machine.

Equipment Corner : How To Winterize Your Lawn Equipment

Posted by rentalstop in General on November 12, 2020

It is time to Winterize your Outdoor Power Equipment! Doing this will extend the life of your equipment and will help ensure a hassle-free spring when it is time to start these engines again.

The most important step is either draining or stabilizing the fuel. Draining the fuel is usually best with the pieces of equipment that uses two-cycle (trimmers, blowers, etc.) and stabilizing the fuel is best on engines using fuel only such as your mowers.

How to drain the fuel and winterize your 2-cycle equipment:

1. Pour the gas in the tank into a gas can.
2. Run the engine to get the remaining fuel out of the carburetor. Your engine will spudder to a stop.
3. Remove spark plug and Pour a few drops of 2-cycle into the spark plug port and give the starter cord a couple pulls. This lubricates the pistons and crankshaft.
4. Install a new spark plug.
5. Inspect and clean air filter.
6. Check all fuel likes and replaces the fuel filter.
7. Clean and lubricate all moving parts.
How to Stabilize your fuel and winterize your fuel only equipment (i.e. mower):
1. Add stabilizer to a full gas tank.
2. Run the engine for a few minutes, then fill up the tank. A full tank prevents water condensation from getting in the tanks.
3. Clean the entire mower deck of caked on grass clippings, etc.
4. Change the engine oil.
5. Inspect and clean the air filter.
6. Check fuel lines and replace the fuel filter.
7. Inspect and worn and missing parts.
If you don’t have time to winterize your equipment, no problem! Let us take this off your plate. Our New Special Services Department, can winterize and service all your equipment.
