TwinForce™ Series Waterblast Unit

OPERATION

This section describes the operation of the 

TwinForce™ Series unit. 

Preparing the Unit

1.  Remove All Shipping Protection
2.  (For trailer and skid units) The exhaust 

stack rain cap (Figure 30) will be tie-

wrapped shut for transport. Remove the 

tie wrap and tags from the engine ex-
haust stack.

3.  Remove all on board packages. 
4.  Inspect the unit and report any damage to 

your Jetstream representative.

5.  Remove the pump wrench from the rod 

box (Figure 31).

!

!

CAUTION

When mounting skid units on a trailer or truck, 

orient the rain cap so the flapper on the exhaust 

stack opens to the rear. If not oriented properly it 

will allow rain to enter the exhaust when traveling 

and the turbo will be damaged from spinning 

backwards without lubrication.

ATTENTION

For shipping and safety concerns, the unit is 

transported with very little fuel or no fuel. Add fuel to 

the fuel tank before starting the unit.
