Recorded information includes cable travel and motor
amp draw information versus time. The K-4310 FXP Drum
Machine will hold 50 recordings. When 50 recordings are
reached, new recordings will overwrite the oldest record-
ings. Additional recordings can be stored via the RIDGID
Link App. Recorded information can be accessed and
managed through the RIDGID Link App - see the RIDGID
Link App Connection (Wireless Communication) section
for further information.

Hibernation Mode

When running on battery power, if the ON/OFF switch
is ON and the machine is not used for 15 minutes, it will
move into "Hibernation Mode" to conserve battery charge.
In Hibernation Mode, the display and tool status lights will
turn off and the machine cannot be used until the ON/
OFF switch is cycled OFF and back ON. See Figure 4.
If a Job Recording is active while the machine is in
Hibernation Mode, the in-progress recording will be saved.
When the machine is turned back ON, a new recording
will need to be started.

Pre-Operation Inspection

WARNING
Before each use, inspect your K-4310 FXP Drum
Machine and correct any problems to reduce the
risk of serious injury from electric shock, twisted
or broken cables, chemical burns, infections and
other causes and prevent machine damage.
Always wear safety glasses, RIDGID drain cleaning
gloves, and other appropriate protective equipment
when inspecting your machine.
1. Inspect the RIDGID drain cleaning gloves or mitts
("gloves") (Figure 12). Make sure they are in good
condition with no holes, tears or loose sections that
could be caught in the rotating cable. It is important
not to wear improper or damaged gloves. The gloves
protect your hands from the rotating cable. If the
gloves are not RIDGID drain cleaning gloves or
are damaged or worn out, do not use machine
until RIDGID drain cleaning gloves are available.

2. Make sure that the main ON/OFF switch is set to the
OFF position and remove battery/power adapter.
3. Clean the drain cleaning machine, including handles
and controls. This aids inspection and helps prevent
the machine or control from slipping from your grip.
Clean and maintain the machine per the mainte-
nance instructions.
4. Inspect the machine for the following:
• Proper assembly, maintenance and completeness.
• Any broken, worn, missing, misaligned or binding
parts.
• Rotate the drum and make sure that it turns freely
without binding.
• Smooth and free movement of the AUTOFEED
lever throughout range.
• Presence and readability of warning labels (Fi gure 1).
• Any other condition which may prevent safe and
normal operation.
If any problems are found, do not use the drain clean-
ing machine until the problems have been repaired.
5. Clean any debris from the cable and cutting tools.
Inspect cables for wear and damage. Inspect for:
• Obvious flats worn into the outside of cable (cable
is made from round wire and the profile should be
round).
• Multiple or excessively large kinks (slight kinks up
to 15 degrees can be straightened).
• Space between cable coils indicating that the
cable has been deformed by stretching, kinking, or
running in reverse (REV).
• Excessive corrosion from storing wet or exposure
to drain chemicals.
All these forms of wear and damage weaken the
cable and make cable twisting, kinking or breaking
more likely during use. Replace worn and damaged
cable before using drain cleaning machine.
