Specifications; K-40/K-40B Af Specifications; K-40B Specifications - RIDGID K-40 Manual

FWD/OFF/REV switch controls drum and cable rotation
and a pneumatic foot switch provides ON/OFF control of
the motor.
The K-40 is offered in both AUTOFEED and manual ver-
sions. The AUTOFEED is integral to the four foot long front
guide hose. The AUTOFEED allows the cable to be ad-
vanced and retrieved at a rate of 6 feet per minute. The
front guide hose used with the AUTOFEED helps to pro-
tect fixtures and contain the liquid and debris thrown off the
cable as it is retrieved from the drain. Manual feed versions
require that cable be fed in and out of the drain by hand.
The two piece twist-lock drum will not dent or corrode,
and allows easy access to the inner drum. The inner
drum allows quick cable change out, helps prevent
cable damage from flip over in the drum, and reduces
the likelihood of drum leakage.
Cables are available in three sizes –
ameters. The 1 / " and 5 /
4
integral bulb augers. Some versions of these cables
are supplied with the "Speed Bump" feature to indicate
to the operator that they are near the end of the cable.
3 / " cables are available with an integral bulb head or with
8
a quick change coupling for attaching tools. The K-40 is
equipped with a torque arm attached to the cable to im-
prove torque transfer when most of the cable is out of the
drum.
