MiJET User Guide
Description
MiJET®is designed to clean parts and capture residue with one easy touch,
keeping the work area and surrounding air clean.
The air nozzle is used to blow residue down into the inlet tube, while simul-
taneously creating suction. This will pull chips and lubricant into the contain-
er below.
The captured residue can be recycled ... saving money on expensive lubri-
cants and help to reclaim more chips instead of covering the floor.
Needed
A MiJET unit comes with a 1/4” FNPT
fitting for connecting to an existing shop
air line. A high–flow quick-connect
adaptor can be attached for ease of
use, however, to ensure a sufficient air
supply we recommend connecting into
the main air supply without any re-
strictions, such as a quick connect.
It is also recommended to utilize a 3/8”
diameter air hose from the main line to
supply the MiJET. A smaller diameter,
coiled air line, or a line that is too long
might not provide an optimum air sup-
ply.
Safety Instructions
Please read user guide carefully before
installing.
Disconnect the air supply if the unit is
taken apart for recycling of coolant,
retrieval of parts, or any other mainte-
nance.

Troubleshoong
Q: The part is blown off and the air nozzle is not in use, but the
motor runs for an extended amount of time.
A: There are Viton O-rings that need to stay lubricated, try adding air
tool oil, refer to the maintenance steps on page 6.
B: Check for air leaks at air nozzle hose connections and air nozzle it-
self. Replace leaking components if needed. Contact us for replace-
ment air gun.
Q: The air motor sounds like it runs slower than when the unit
was brand new.
A: Try adding air tool oil, refer to the maintenance steps on page 6.
Q: The suction is reduced from when the unit was brand new.
A: Try adding air tool oil, refer to the maintenance steps on page 6.
B: Check filter and if oil-soaked or dirty, it is time to replace the filter.
Contact us for replacement filter.
Q: The blow off pressure has decreased while using the air noz-
zle.
A: Ensure all fittings and connections are correct, if so, try connecting the
MiJET to the air supply line without use of any quick-disconnect fitting.
B: Try connecting an airline from the main air supply to the MiJET with a
large enough diameter (3/8”) air hose to supply enough CFM to the
unit.
C: Try removing the blue air nozzle and replace with the operators’
usual air nozzle often creates familiarity with usual process of blow-
ing off parts.

Installing the Air Deector
1. Using a 7/32 Allen key, unscrew
the black screws from each handle,
as seen in Figure 20.
2. Take each screw and handle off of
the unit.
3. Place the air deflector into the
MiJET. Try to line-up the hole
on the air deflector (Figure 21)
with the hole on the MiJET.
4. Insert the screw through the air de-
flector and then through the MiJET.
5. Tighten both screws with the 7/32
Allen key. Hold the black plastic
handle while tightening to ensure
the correct handle orientation of the
T-Handle.
6. Repeat the same procedure for the
second screw on the opposite side.
The final product should look like
the MiJET picture in Figure 22.

Air supply
In order to opmize the performance of the MiJET Washstaon,
consider the following:
The air hose to the MiJET should be as short as praccal and at least
3/8 inch diameter, (larger is beer).
 Low pressure at the air nozzle can be the result of too small diame-
ter or too long air hoses from main air supply.
 Coiled air hoses from the main air supply to the MiJET are not rec-
ommended.
Low pressure can also be the result of restricve quick connects.
 Having two common hardware store quick connects in line with the
MiJET can reduce the MiJET air nozzle pressure by 30%.
 If quick connects are needed, use high ow quick connect such as
MiJET accessory #13-057 Coupler body, and #13-058 Coupler plug.
See accessory page 15 for further descripon.
High-ow Quick

Straight hose supplies the MiJET
with compressed air.

Maintenance
After 5000 parts cleaned or monthly:
1. To ensure proper performance of
the Wash Station, regular
maintenance is recommended.
Both the fluid filter and the MiJET
filter should be replaced
quarterly, depending on use.
2. A plastic wrench is provided to
untighten the fluid filter casing.
3. Replace cleaning solutions as
needed. ***Slug will build up in
both the Dip Container and the fluid
filter if not properly maintained**

Using the Faucet
1. Utilize the faucet by turning on the valves to allow flow.
Refer to the MiJET Diagram on Page 4 and 5 if necessary.
2. Turn the flow valve to the on
position, valve shown in Figure 5.
3. Next, turn the On/Off valve to
the on position, this is the ball
valve located above the Flow
valee and nearest to the Loc-
Line. See Figure 5.
4. Adjust flow valve to the desired
pressure (Figure 6).
5. Use the parts basket as
needed. The basket can be
submerged into the dip
tank with parts in it and
then moved over the
MiJET for use with the air
nozzle.
 Do not use the air
nozzle to blow air into the
dip container.
