shall be refueled:
(a) outdoors;
(b) with the engine on the equipment stopped;
(c) with no source of ignition within 10 feet of
the dispensing point; and
(d) with an allowance made for expansion of the
fuel should the equipment be exposed to a
higher ambient temperature.
In an overfilling situation, additional precautions are
necessary to ensure that the situation is handled in
a safe manner.

ASSEMBLY
Upon arrival, inspect the shipping crate for damages.
Uncrate and examine all parts. Note any damage to
machine or components for claims against freight carrier.
The tires on the jets may be partially deflated for packing
and shipment. Reinflate tires to the pressure specified
on the side of the tire before using the machine.
Jets have antifreeze in the pump to protect it from freez-
ing conditions during shipment and storage. If machine
will be stored and operated in a cold climate, follow
Freeze Protection instructions on page 11.
PRE-OPERATION CHECK

❑Gear reduction (90W gear lube)
❑Cold clean fresh water supply (6 GPM • 3/4"

SETUP PROCEDURES
These machines are meant to be used at or near the
working area and under operator supervision. If machine
must be located out of sight of the operator, special
controls may be required for proper machine operation
and operator safety.
Locate the equipment on a solid level area with slopes
for drainage. Avoid areas where water can be sprayed
at machine.
Before using the jetter, make sure there are no impurities
in the incoming water supply. Turn the water source on
for at least 15 seconds, to remove any possible debris
in the water before connecting hose to water inlet swivel.
The inlet screen located inside the filter should be
cleaned before each use. To clean the inlet screen,
unscrew cap beneath the filter, remove the screen and
rinse thoroughly with water. Then replace screen.
Connect one end of a garden hose (not included) to
the water faucet — water supply not to exceed 100 PSI
(6.9 bar) and the other end to the water inlet of the jet
machine. (See component identification drawings on next
pages.)Useheavyduty3/4"hoseofnomorethan50ft.
(15 m) in length. If run without an adequate water supply,
the pump will cavitate. Cavitation causes the pump to
vibrate, causing damage to the pump. NOTE: Lack of
water supply can lead to seal damage, causing a loss of
pressure and will void the warranty to the pump.
Maximum temperature from the water source should
not exceed 140°F (60°C). Using water hotter than 140°F
(60°C) can cause damage to the pump and void the
warranty. If jet is being used to clear ice blockages, see
instructions on page 10.
Remove oil plug on top of pump and replace with dipstick
supplied. Fill engine with oil. Refer to engine manual for
quantity.
Hose Selection Guide
Select the proper hose diameter for the line to be
cleaned. When using new hose, run water through it to
clean it out before attaching the nozzle.
