Standard Equipment

All K-400 Drain Cleaning Machines come with one pair of
RIDGID Drain Cleaning Gloves and a DVD showing K-400
use.
This machine is made to clean drains. If prop-
NOTICE
erly used it will not damage a drain that is in good
condition and properly designed, constructed and main-
tained. If the drain is in poor condition, or has not been
properly designed, constructed and maintained, the drain
cleaning process may not be effective or could cause
damage to the drain. The best way to determine the
condition of a drain before cleaning is through visual in-
spection with a camera. Improper use of this drain cleaner
can damage the drain cleaner and the drain. This machine
may not clear all blockages.
