If needed, change the tool and continue cleaning follow-
ing the above process. Several passes through a line are
recommended for complete cleaning.
RIDGID Link App Connection
(Wireless Communication)
The RIDGID K-4310 FXP Drum Machine includes wire-
®
less technology allowing communication to properly
equipped smartphones or tablets ("devices") running
iOS or Android operating systems. This allows the user to
review and download stored job data and create reports.
1. Download the appropriate RIDGID
device by going to RIDGID.com/apps, the Google
Play Store or the Apple App Store.
2. When the machine is powered and the ON/OFF
switch is ON, the
nection to a device is possible. See Figure 5.
3. Find the RIDGID Link app icon on your device and
launch the app by selecting the icon. Via the app,
search for nearby tools and select the desired RIDGID
tool. Refer to your device instructions for specific
information on how to connect via wireless technology.
Once connected, the
After the initial pairing, most devices will automatically
connect to the machine when the wireless technology
is active and in range and if device settings are
configured to do so. Machine should be less than 33
ft. (10 m) from the device to be detected. Any obstacle
between the machine and device can reduce the
operational range.
4. Follow the app instructions for use. Do not let the
use of the app distract you from monitoring the drain
cleaning process. Inattention to the process can
cause you to lose control.
5. The wireless communication turns off when the main
ON/OFF switch is turned to OFF or power removed.
Turn wireless communication OFF on the device to
reduce device battery drain.

Other Operating Instructions

Using Machine With A Front Guide Hose

The front guide hose is an optional accessory to help
protect fixtures and contain the liquid and debris on the
cable. It can only be used with an AUTOFEED unit. Using
the front guide hose can decrease feedback from the
cable, making it harder to tell what conditions the cable is
encountering. This may increase the possibility of damage
to the cable. Using the front guide hose makes it more

difficult to switch back and forth between manual and
AUTOFEED unit operation.
Using a machine with the front guide hose is similar to
using a machine with just the AUTOFEED unit. Follow in-
structions for AUTOFEED unit operation with the following
exceptions:
• When setting up the machine, insert the guide hose at
least 6" into the drain.
• Instead of holding the cable, hold the guide hose. See
Figure 23. Always control the guide hose and properly
support the cable to prevent the cable from twisting,
kinking or breaking.
Figure 23 – Using Machine with Guide Hose
When using a front guide hose, pay attention how the
guide hose feels in your hand and watch the drum rota-
tion. Because the guide hose is over the cable, there is
less sensitivity to the loading of the cable, and it is harder
to tell if the tool is rotating or not. If the tool is not rotating,
the drain is not being cleaned.
If the tool continues to get hung up in the blockage, stop
using the AUTOFEED unit (leave the AUTOFEED lever in
the neutral position) and work the cable manually. To do
this, the cable must be retrieved from the drain and the
guide hose removed to allow proper positioning of the ma-
chine to the drain and access to the cable. Do not try to
work the cable by hand with the front guide hose in place.
When retrieving the cable, be sure to stop the cable
before the tool hits the end of the guide hose to prevent
damage.

Adding Additional Cable

If more cable is necessary than in the machine drum, use
the following procedure to add additional cable. Do not
exceed the drain cleaner ratings.
