EASY ROOTER™ IS EASIER TO USE.
The Easy Rooter™ from General Pipe Cleaners is now easier to use. The redesigned frame features a built-in brake that holds the machine securely on the job or in a customer’s car going to and from the job. The tough, durable Easy Rooter is capable of clearing 3" to 10" drain lines clogged with roots and other severe stoppages. The cage holds 100 feet of 3/4" or 5/8" Flexicore® cable. Other important features include a powder coated square tube steel frame with special “roll bars” to protect the motor, roller bearings in the zinc plated steel cage for longer life and greater motor efficiency, 10" ball bearing wheels, a tall folding handle that takes less room in the customer’s car trunk, and a 1/3 hp motor with capacitor, thermal overload protection, and reverse switch. An air actuated foot pedal, ground fault circuit interrupter, safety slip clutch, and instructional video in English, French, and Spanish are all standard equipment.
Flexicore® cables are made of heavy gauge wire that is coiled tightly around 49-strand aircraft-type wire rope and heat treated. It has unequalled strength and the right amount of flexibility. Flexicore® is so tough it carries a one-year warranty against defect or breakage.
POWER-VEE™ WITH AUTOMATIC FEED –EASIER, FASTER, CLEANER.
General Pipe Cleaners Power-Vee™ with automatic feed makes drain cleaning easier, faster, and cleaner. It’s ideal for unclogging sinks, tubs, and laundry drains ranging from 1-1/4" to 3" in diameter up to 50 ft long.
The simplified feeding system is lighter and easier to operate. It’s like having an extra hand in tight and awkward places. Just squeeze the lever and the cable feeds at up to 16 feet per minute. The feed automatically adjusts to handle 1/4", 5/16" or 3/8" diameter cables without requiring the use of tools or additional parts.
The optional Handy-Stand™ turns the Power-Vee into a practical countertop or floor machine. The ergonomically balanced Handy-Stand™ enhances the drain cleaner’s versatility, safety and stability for rental customers.
The Power-Vee also features quick-change cable cartridges for fast cable changing or cleaning, and a Dyna-Thrust™ bearing system to reduce bearing wear and extend the life of the tool.

COMPACTION
This high performance series of compactors distinguishes themselves every day. Easy handling. Universal application. High maneuverability. Thanks to infinitely variable hydraulic forward and reverse action, this machine moves quickly on the job, even uphill.
Ideal for rental operators, the compact and foldable engine cover makes servicing easy and provides excellent protection, too. Although the AVP 5920, 4920 and 3920 stand head-and-shoulders above the competition, the price is reassuringly down-to-earth.

Mot du président
This fall Norseman will be opening a new Full Service Distribution Centre just north of Toronto, in Holland Landing, ON. The new distribution center, scheduled to open on September 1, 2010, is just one piece in Norseman’s plans to increase their presence in Eastern Canada. “We are excited about the new distribution centre in Holland Landing” states Norseman’s President Terry Bryant “Growing our presence in Ontario and being able to better serve customers further East is a tremendous step in the right direction for Norseman and our customers”. The new facility will primarily house the Norseman standard line of construction products and act as a distribution center for Eastern Canada. The new distribution center will build on the existing Norseman sales presence in the Ottawa-
Gatineau region where a sales office and warehouse are located. One of the main benefits of the distribution center is it will provide customers with ondemand access to Norseman products “something we were not previously able to do on a large scale in Eastern Canada”
