Sewer cleaning machine
A sewer cleaning machine includes a frame, a drum rotatably supported by the frame, and a motor supported by the frame and coupled to the drum. The drum includes a cable that is selectively extendable out of the drum. The motor is operable to rotate the drum. The drum is configured to engage a surface to facilitate moving the sewer cleaning machine along the surface.
1. A sewer cleaning machine comprising:
a frame;
a drum rotatably supported by the frame, the drum including a cable that is selectively extendable out of the drum; and
a motor supported by the frame and coupled to the drum, the motor operable to rotate the drum;
wherein the drum is configured to engage a surface to facilitate moving the sewer cleaning machine along the surface, and
wherein the drum includes a tread to help grip the surface.
2. The sewer cleaning machine of claim 1 , wherein the drum is rotated by the motor while in engagement with the surface to function as a powered wheel.
3. The sewer cleaning machine of claim 1 , wherein the frame includes a handle to control the sewer cleaning machine along the surface.
4. The power cleaning machine of claim 3 , wherein the handle includes a lever to actuate the motor to rotate the drum while in engagement with the surface to function as a powered wheel.
5. The sewer cleaning machine of claim 1 , wherein the tread is selectively extensible from the drum.
6. The sewer cleaning machine of claim 1 , further comprising a handle rotatably coupled to the drum.
7. A sewer cleaning machine comprising:
a frame;
a drum rotatably supported by the frame, the drum including a cable that is selectively extendable out of the drum; and
a motor supported by the frame and coupled to the drum, the motor operable to rotate the drum;
wherein the drum is configured to engage a surface to facilitate moving the sewer cleaning machine along the surface, and
wherein the frame includes a shroud that surrounds a portion of the drum.
8. The sewer cleaning machine of claim 7 , wherein the shroud includes a stand to selectively support the drum above the surface.
9. The sewer cleaning machine of claim 8 , wherein the shroud further includes a handle to control the drum when the drum engages the surface.
10. A sewer cleaning machine comprising:
a frame;
a drum rotatably supported by the frame, the drum including a cable that is selectively extendable out of the drum; and
a motor supported by the frame and coupled to the drum, the motor operable to rotate the drum;
wherein the drum is rotatable relative to the frame to cause the sewer cleaning machine to move between a first location and a second location.
11. The sewer cleaning machine of claim 10 , wherein the motor rotates the drum along a surface to move the drum between the first location and the second location.
12. The sewer cleaning machine of claim 11 , wherein the frame includes a handle to control the sewer cleaning machine during movement between the first location and the second location.
13. The power cleaning machine of claim 12 , wherein the handle includes an actuator operable to activate the motor to rotate the drum while in engagement with the surface to function as a powered wheel.
14. The sewer cleaning machine of claim 10 , further comprising a handle rotatably coupled to the drum.
15. A sewer cleaning machine comprising:
a frame;
a drum rotatably supported by the frame, the drum including a cable that is selectively extendable out of the drum;
a motor supported by the frame and coupled to the drum, the motor operable to rotate the drum; and
a handle extending outwardly from the frame, the handle being movable relative to the drum between a transport mode and an operational mode wherein the drum is configured to rotate along a surface when the handle is in the transport mode to cause the sewer cleaning machine to move along the surface.
16. The sewer cleaning machine of claim 15 , wherein the drum is rotated by the motor while in engagement with the surface to function as a powered wheel.
17. The sewer cleaning machine of claim 16 , wherein the handle includes an actuator operable to activate the motor to rotate the drum while in engagement with the surface to function as a powered wheel.
18. The sewer cleaning machine of claim 15 , wherein the handle extends from a main body of the frame at a location near a perimeter of the drum.
19. The sewer cleaning machine of claim 15 , wherein the handle includes a grip having powered controls to assist with movement of the drum along the surface.
