17. When the machine is working, do not cover or place
in a closed space where ventilation is insufficient.
ASSEMBLY
Upon arrival, inspect the shipping crate for damages. Un-
crate and examine all parts. Note any damage to machine
or components for claims against freight carrier.
Jets have antifreeze in the pump to protect it from freezing
conditions during shipment and storage. If machine will
be stored and operated in a cold climate, follow Freeze
Protection instructions on page 9.
PRE-OPERATION CHECK
❑Pump oil (SAE 30W non-detergent oil)
❑  Coldcleanfreshwatersupply(6gpm•5/8"

SET-UP 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 operator, special controls
may be required for proper machine operation and opera-
tor 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 jet, 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.
(15m) 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 8.
Remove oil plug on top of pump and replace with dipstick
supplied.
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.

* Inside Diameter
When selecting hose size, consider that pressure is lost as
the water travels down the length of the hose. As the length
increases, the pressure decreases. In addition, the smaller
the diameter of the hose, the greater the loss of pressure
per foot will be. As an example, at 2 GPM (.13L/sec) a1/4"
(6.350 mm) hose will lose 180 lbs. (12.4 bar) of pressure
over 100 ft. (30.5m)ofhose,yeta3/8"(9.925mm) hose
will only lose 25 lbs. (1.7 bar) of pressure over the same
lengthandatthesameowrate.At4GPM,a3/8"hose
will lose 90 lbs. (6.2 bar) of pressure over a 100 ft. (30.5m)
length. The gauge reflects pressure from the pump only,
not pressure at the end of the hose. It is important to select
the largest possible hose size in order to have as much
pressure as possible at the end of the hose.
Hoses of the same diameter may be coupled together using
a screw coupling, but it is not recommended for use in lines
smallerthan8"(203mm) in diameter. The long length of
the hose connectors and coupling together can get caught
in bends in the line.
PART NUMBER ADAPTER SIZE (FPT)
8.705-364.0 1/4"x1/4"

Coupling two different size hoses can be done through the
spray wand trigger or foot pedal.
It is not advisable to have two different hose sizes coupled
in a drain line. There is a tremendous loss of pressure
when combined, aside from the difficulty of getting around
bends.

A SCP-1 valve is available that can be used as a safety
shut-off valve for all hose sizes. See foot pedal section for
installation and operating instructions.
Nozzles
A number of types of nozzles are available for drain clean-
ing. Each has a different spray pattern. Some nozzles may
have a hole in the front to cut through the stoppage. All will
have holes in the back to drive the hose down the line and
clean the walls of the pipe. A tight spray pattern (15°) has
more driving power for long runs, a wide spray pattern (40°)
does a better job of cutting the grease off the walls of the
pipe. A combination of nozzles may be required to clear a
line. Always turn off the machine and shut off valve before
changing nozzles.
Make sure the nozzle you are using matches the pump size.
A 3000 psi (207 bar) pump requires a different nozzle ori-
fice than a 1500 psi (104 bar) pump. Mismatching nozzles
with pump size will either cause too little pressure which
may not clear the drain, or too much pressure which may
damage the machine.
Check nozzles before and after each use for clogged holes
which can cause pressure to increase to dangerously
high levels and damage the pump. A clogged hole can be
cleared by simply using a nozzle cleaning tool.
Use the nozzle selection guide to determine what nozzle
you will need for various applications.
Powerful penetrating
nozzle cuts through

bends. Note that the rotating nozzles provide much lower
pressure than standard jetting nozzles. Rotary nozzles can
be adapted using the nozzle adapters and bushings below.

SJPE-1500 • 8.914-323.0 • REV. 4/12a
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
❑Check all hoses for wear and damage. Tighten all con-
nections securely.
❑Check oil level of pump.
❑To begin, turn the water faucet on fully and purge air
from system.
❑Insert end of the jet hose 2 to 3 feet into the drain line.
Then turn the valve on.
Warning: Never point the end of the jet hose at a per-
son while operating.
Start-Up
1. Make sure that the ball valve is turned on and the water
is flowing.
2. Plug in GFCI power cord to proper receptacle and
voltage.
3. Hold on to hose firmly to prevent hose from whipping
around.
4. Turn motor switch on.
Pulse Technology
Pulsation makes the hose vibrate, helping the jet go longer
distances and around tight bends easier.
The pulse control valve is located on the front of the pump.
Simply turn the valve on to engage the pulse.
Pulsation causes a pressure drop when it's engaged. The
pulseismosteffectiveina1/8"hose.You'llnotelessvibra-
tionwitha1/4"hoseandalmostnonewitha3/8"hose.
However the pulse is still effective, causing the water to
burst from the nozzle hundreds of times per second.
If you are still having difficulty getting a hose around a tight
bend, switch to a smaller diameter hose.
Turn the pulsation valve off before turning machine off.
Shut Down Instructions
After drain cleaning or spray washing is completed, run
clear water through the system. Always leave ball valve in
open position when turning off motor. Turn off water supply
and drain as much water from pump as possible. Remove
water supply hose from inlet. If you are in a cold climate,
see Freeze Protection.
Shark Hose Reels
Position the reel at the drain site. Connect the jet machine to
the inlet on the reel. Select and attach a nozzle to the hose
on the reel. Put the hose 2 to 3 ft. into the drain line. Open
the ball valve on the reel. Follow the start up procedures.
SCP-1 Foot Pedal (Optional)
The foot pedal is used with any jet manufactured by Shark
(see pages 5,6). It interrupts the flow of water between
the pump and the nozzle while leaving both hands free to
guide the hose. The pump will continue to run in by-pass
mode. Do not leave pump in by-pass for more than a few
minutes or the pump can be damaged. (See Regulating
Pressure Unloader).
The foot pedal may be hooked up either at the machine
or remotely at the drain site. To use the foot pedal at the
machine, remove the hose going to the swivel on the hose
reel and attach it to the inlet side of the foot pedal. Then,
connect the accessory hose #8.711-599.0 between the
outlet of the pedal and the swivel on the hose reel. Some
jet models may need the added length of the accessory
hose on the inlet side of the pedal.
For remote hookup, pull the hose from the hose reel to
the drain site. Attach the hose to the inlet of the pedal. The
pedalisdesignedfor3/8"hosettings.Ifusinga1/4"hose,
use adapter #8.705-129.0 as well.Then attach the smaller
hose(1/8"or1/4")totheoutletsideofthepedal.Usethe
smaller hose to clear the drain line.
Ice Blockages
High pressure water can be used to clear an ice blockage.
A 3000 PSI (207 Bar)gasjetcancleara4"(102mm) line
at an approximate rate of one foot per minute. The smaller
electric jet will take twice as long. Ambient air temperature
will effect these times. Use a nozzle with a forward jet. DO
NOT allow the incoming water supply to exceed 140°F
(60°C) or it could cause damage to the pump. Remember
to follow the cold weather precautions found in the freeze
protection section.
Spray Wand (Optional)
Follow the same procedures listed previously for safety,
set-up, operation and maintenance. To operate the spray
wand, connect the high pressure hose and trigger to the
machine.Turn on the water supply, then squeeze the trigger
to purge air from the system. Continue to squeeze trigger
as you start the machine.
Use caution when pressure washing. Wear goggles and
rubber gloves and boots. Analyze angle of spray and an-
ticipate angle of back splash. Do not point spray at anyone
including yourself. Do not put your hand in front of water
spray. It can penetrate the skin and cause a need for am-
putation. It is best to start at a 45° angle at a 7 to 10 ft.
(2 to 3m) distance from object to be cleaned. Direct spray at
close range can be powerful enough to cause damage.
NOTE: Typical industry standard stipulates you hold the
highpressure spray nozzleapproximately 6-8"from the
surface to be cleaned. When cleaning with a detergent,
apply from bottom up with an even left to right movement.
Rinse from top down with a similar motion. This will help

Shark ®Jetters OPERATOR’S MANUAL 9
SJPE-1500 • 8.914-323.0 • REV. 4/12a
reduce potential streaking. Always apply soap to a dry sur-
face.This will enhance penetration and detergent cling and
reduce dilution of detergent with an already wet surface.
If you have the dual-lance wand (optional with the
SJPE-1500) you may draw detergents through the spray
wand in conjunction with the detergent injector mounted
on the machine. First set up the detergent injector system
(see Detergent Injector).
Then simply turn the knob on the wand counterclockwise
so that water is flowing through the wide spray nozzle. To
spray water only, turn the knob to the clockwise position so
that the water flows through the narrow spray nozzle.
The spray wand option with the other jets may also be used
to spray detergent. To do so, simply turn the nozzle on the
end of the wand counterclockwise. As the spray widens,
more of the detergent will be drawn through the wand.Turn
the nozzle clockwise to reduce the detergent flow and nar-
row the water spray pattern and return to high pressure.
Detergent Injector (Optional)
The detergent injector is an option with the SJPE-1500
and can be attached to the free end of the ball valve. Do
not attach detergent injector to the inlet side of the pump.
Detergents can damage pump.
To use the detergent injector, attach one end of siphon hose
to the injector and put the filter end in the detergent solution.
Be sure the end of the hose is at the bottom of the container
or bucket. Some models have adjustable valves to control
the amount of detergent drawn through the hose.
Remember: Do not use corrosive material. See warning
previously listed.
Regulating Pressure Unloader
The machine is equipped with a regulating pressure
unloader to prevent pressure overload in the event that
the nozzle is plugged or the ball valve or trigger is shut
off. When the machine is in the by-pass mode, the pump
will continue to run. However running in by-pass mode
for extended periods will cause damage to the pump; no
more than 5 minutes with the SJPE-1500 pump. Excessive
temperatures will damage the pump and void the warranty.
The machine also comes with thermal overload protec-
tion. When water temperature in pump increases to 140°F
(60°C), the thermal relief valve will release hot water and
allow cool water to enter pump from fresh water supply.
To adjust unloader, loosen lock nut and turn the knob
clockwise to increase pressure and counterclockwise to
decrease pressure. Caution: Do not overtighten unloader.
Tighten lock nut after adjustments are made.
Freeze Protection
To protect your machine from severe damage caused by
water freezing inside the components, it is important to win-
terize it whenever it is subjected to freezing temperatures.
The best way to protect the system is to keep it out of the
cold. Barring that, the next best way is to flush the system
with anti-freeze.To do so, simply attach a short garden hose
(not to exceed four feet) to inlet on the pump and put other
end into the anti-freeze container. Be sure to remove the
nozzle from the hose. Turn the machine on to draw anti-
freeze into the system. When anti-freeze flows out of the
end of the hose, turn the machine off. Connect high pres-
sure hose and trigger and follow above procedure. Cycle
trigger on/off so that the anti-freeze will flow into unloader
and injector section of machine.
When preparing to operate equipment the next time, re-
move the anti-freeze.To do so, reconnect water source, turn
pump on and direct flow of anti-freeze back into container.
Be careful not to dilute anti-freeze with incoming water
supply. Anti-freeze, if kept relatively undiluted can be used
again and again.
Hoses can also be protected from freezing by using com-
pressed air to clear them of residual water. Remember to
remove nozzle from jet hose and hold trigger of spray wand
in open position.
MAINTENANCE
Regular inspection is the key to preventing breakdowns
and prolonging the life of the equipment. Follow this simple
procedure religiously.
DAILY
Check that the water supply is adequate.
Check that the nozzle on the spray wand is not clogged
or worn out.
Check that the PUMP OIL LEVEL is within operating range
on dipstick or sight glass.
Check the INLET FILTER.
WEEKLY
Check the PRESSURE HOSE for wear and damage.
Damaged hose can be repaired at a local service dealer
or by your equipment dealer.
Pump Crankcase Oil Change: Service after the 1st month
or after 20 hours. Then service every year or 500 hours.
Use SAE 30W Non-Detergent Motor Oil to full mark on
dipstick or to dot on sight glass.
