Operating Machine In Reclined Position
The K-6200 can be operated in the reclined position to ac-
cess overhead waste lines. As shown in Figure 11, screw
the two (2) support legs into the frame. With the kickstand
bar in the forward position ahead of the wheels, place the
machine so it rests on the support legs and the wheels.
If sewer inlet is greater than 3 ′ from the
front off the machine, the cable will have a greater ten-
dency to twist or kink. Use a front guide tube or properly
support exposed cable.
