Feed mechanism for a drain cleaner assembly
A feed mechanism for use with a drain cleaner includes a frame configured to be coupled to the drain cleaner. The frame including a cable passage defining a cable axis. The feed mechanism includes a plurality of rollers including a translatable roller. Each roller defines a roller axis. The translatable roller is moveable between an engaged position and a disengaged position. The feed mechanism includes a mode selection member coupled to the frame and moveable between a first position in which each roller axis is parallel to the cable axis and the plurality of rollers are configured to spin the cable about the cable axis, and a second position in which each roller axis is non-parallel to the cable axis and the plurality of rollers are configured to move the cable in a first direction along the cable axis.
