! WARNING
A running engine gives off carbon monoxide, an odorless, colorless, poison gas.
Breathing carbon monoxide can cause headache, fatigue, dizziness, vomiting,
confusion, seizures, nausea, fainting or death.
Some chemicals or detergents may be harmful if inhaled or in ested, causing
severe nausea, fainting , or poisoning
• Operate sewer jetter ONLYoutdoors.
• Keep exhaust gas from entering a conned area through windows, doors, ventilation intakes, or
other openings.
• DO NOT start or run engine indoors or in an enclosed area, even if windows and doors are open.
• Use a respirator or mask whenever there is a chance that vapors may be inhaled.
• Read all instructions with mask so you are certain the mask will provide the necessary protection
against harmful vapors
! WARNING
Use of sewer jetter can create puddles and slippery surfaces.
Kickback from spray gun can cause you to fall.
• Operate sewer jetter from a stable surface.
• The cleaning area should have adequate slopes and drainage to reduce the possibility of a fall
due to slippery surfaces.
• Be extremely careful if you must use the sewer jetter from a ladder, scaffolding, or any other
similar location.

! WARNING
Fuel and its vapors are extremely ammable and explosive.
Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death.
When Adding or Draining Fuel
• Turn sewer jetter OFF and let it cool at least 2 minutes before removing fuel cap. Loosen cap
slowly to relieve pressure in tank.
• Fill or drain fuel tank outdoors.
• DO NOT overll tank. Always allow space for fuel expansion.
• If fuel spills, wait until it evaporates before starting engine.
• Keep fuel away from sparks, open ames, pilot lights, heat, and other ignition sources.
• DO NOT light a cigarette or smoke.
When Starting Equipment
• Ensure spark plug, mufer, fuel cap, and air cleaner are in place.
• DO NOT crank engine with spark plug removed.
When Operating Equipment

! WARNING
Starter cord kickback (rapid retraction) can result in bodily injury.
Kickback will pull hand and arm toward engine faster than you can let go.
Broken bones, fractures, bruises, or sprains could result.
• NEVER pull starter cord without rst relieving spray gun pressure.
• When starting engine, pull cord slowly until resistance is felt and then pull rapidly to
avoid kickback.
• After each starting attempt, where engine fails to run, always point spray gun in safe direction
and squeeze spray gun trigger to release pressure.
• Firmly grasp spray gun with both hands when using high pressure spray to avoid injury when
spray gun kicks back.
! WARNING
Contact with mufer area can result in serious burns.
Exhaust heat/gases can ignite combustibles, structures or damage fuel tank
causing a re.
• DO NOT touch hot parts and AVOID hot exhaust gases.
• Allow equipment to cool before touching.
• Keep at least 5 feet (1.5 m) of clearance on all sides of sewer jetter including overhead.

! WARNING
Risk of electrocution.
This unit must be connected to a properly grounded outlet.
• NEVER spray near a power source.
• DO NOT use an adapter or remove the third grounding prong.
• To reduce the risk of electrocution, keep all connections dry and off the ground.
• DO NOT touch plug with wet hands.
1. Make certain the motor switch is in the “OFF” position.
2. Ensure electrical supply is identical to the specications listed on the sewer jetter
data plate.
3. GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS: This product must be grounded. If it should
malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for
electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This product is equipped with
a cord having an equipment grounding conductor. The plug must be plugged into
an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all
local codes and ordinances.
4. DANGER: Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result
in a risk of electrocution. Check with a qualied electrical or service personnel if
you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify
the plug - if it will not t the outlet, have it proper outlet installed by a qualied
electrician. Do not use any type of adapter with this product.
5. GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERUTER PROTECTION: This jetter may be provided
with a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFIC) built into the plug or the power
supply cord. Test the GFIC each time it is plugged into an outlet according to
instructions on the GFCL DO NOT use the jetter if the test fails! The GFCI provides
additional protection from the risk of electric shock. Should replacement of the
plug or cord become necessary, use only identical replacement parts that include
GFCI protection.

6. WE DO NOT RECOMMEND THE USE OF EXTENSION CORDS. If use of an
extension cord is unavoidable, it must be plugged into a GFCI found in circuit
boxes or protected receptacles. Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong
grounding-type plugs and 3-pole cord connectors that accept the plug from
the product. Use only extensioncords that are intended for outdoor use. These
extension cords are identied by a marking “acceptable for use with outdoor
appliances; store indoors while not in use.” Use only extension cords having an
electrical rating not less than the rating of the product. Do not use damaged
extension cords. Examine extension cord before using and replace if damaged.
Do not abuse extension cord and do not pull on any cord to disconnect Keep
cord away from heat and sharp edges. Always connect or disconnect the extension
cord from the receptacle before connection or disconnection the product from
the extension cord.
7. Ensure the area between the jetter and outlet is kept dry.
8. Insert the male plug into a grounded AC outlet. DO NOT use an adapter OR
remove the grounding plug!

How to Start Your Sewer Jetter
To start your sewer jetter for the rst time, follow these instructions step-by-step.
This starting information also applies if you have let the sewer jetter sit idle for at
least a day.
1. Place sewer jetter near an outside water source capable of supplying water at a
ow rate greater than 3.8 gallons per minute and no less than 20 PSI at pressure
washer end of garden hose. DO NOT siphon supply water.
2. Make sure unit is in a level position.
3. Connect garden hose to water inlet on sewer jetter pump.
NOTICE
DO NOT run the pump without the water supply connected and turned on.
• Damage to equipment resulting from failure to follow this instruction will void warranty.
! WARNING
The high-pressure stream of water that this equipment produces can cut through
skin and its underlying tissues, leading to serious injury and possible amputation.
• NEVER connect high pressure hose directly to nozzle extension.
• Keep high pressure hose connected to pump and spray gun while system is pressurized.
• Always be certain spray gun, nozzles, and accessories are correctly attached.

4. Attach the other end of the high-pressure hose to high pressure outlet (A) on
pump. Pull down on collar of quick connect, slide onto pump, and let go of collar.
Note that some pumps require the hose to be threaded on. Tug on the hose to
ensure connection is secure.
*Pump Uses SAE30 Non-Detergent Oil
5. Turn Water Supply on if you have not already done so. Point the gun in a safe
direction and squeeze the trigger to purge the pump of air and debris. Do this for
at least 30 seconds.
6. Take a nal look at all connections to make sure there are no leaks or loose
connections. If there are any leaks in hoses, they must be replaced.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT siphon standing water for the water supply.
Use COLD WATER only (less than 100°F/38°C). Hot water will damage seals and
compromise the integrity of your pump.
7. Attach the garden hose to the water inlet. Tighten by hand.
8. To start the machine, locate the ON/OFF switch on the side of the motor, and
switch it to the ON position.
IMPORTANT: Before starting the sewer jetter, ensure you are wearing
adequate safety goggles.
! WARNING
