Q:What keeps the belt on . I’m having a tough time keeping the belt on while operating.
by|Apr 23, 2024
3 Answers
Answer This Question

A:  Either the motor or drum may be loose causing the belt to have slack. I've used it several times and haven't had an issue.

by|Apr 27, 2024

    A:  There is usually a small ridge on the drum that helps keep the belt on.

      A:  Hello, you might want to try adjusting the belt tensioner. See the attached instruction sheet for details.

          Q:Can you add an addition 25’ to this?

          Answer This Question

          A:  Unfortunately you cannot. If you have 75' of 3/8" cable to get to 100" you would have to acquire the 100' cable.

            Q:Can this do a 4in drain with roots when equipped with spiral cutter attachment? I already unclogged it with 3/4in snake and just want to do preventative maintenance 2x a year. Drain hadn't been snaked in almost 20 years previously so probably slow growth

            Answer This Question

            A:  The K-400 is not designed to remove root blockages. The bigger machines like the K-750 are designed to cut roots in a line.

              Q:Can you add additional cable footage? I need to go 110 ft?
              by|Mar 21, 2024
              1 Answer
              Answer This Question

              A:  With the 3/8" and 1/2" cable that are used in the K400 you cannot add additional lengths of cable. 100' of 3/8" cable is the longest length we have for that machine.
