TYPHOON HOT G2 MANUAL - WATER JETTER/DRAIN CLEANER
The manufacture reserves the right to modify design features and technical facts without notice: due to our principals of continuous improvement.
Once past a blockage, take the time to clean that section
of drain prior to moving forward. Move several feet past
the area of the obstruction and slowly pull the nozzle back
through the area of the obstruction. Do this several times
and then move further into the drain.
Watch the drain water level. If the water level gets too high,
you may need to turn the jetter OFF and allow the water
to drain prior to continuing. Jetting when the line is full of
water is less effective than when the line is empty.
If the water level in the water tank falls below ¼ full, the
float valve will turn the engine OFF. Generally, at this point
you must allow the tank to refill before restarting the jetter. If
that does not work, see troubleshooting section.
Once the nozzle is the desired distance into the drain,
slowly (0.3m/minute for heavy drain accumulations) pull
the nozzle back through the drain. Use one hand to control
the hose and the other to wind the hose onto the reel.
Watch as the nozzle gets closer to the drain opening that
the nozzle does not come out of the drain while water is
flowing. This could allow the hose to whip around and
cause striking and high pressure fluid injuries. Always
control the hose. Look for the mark on the hose near the
end.
With hose still in the drain, turn OFF the engine as directed
in the engine manual, and open water control valve to
release the system pressure. Never leave the system
pressurized. If needed, change the nozzle and continue
cleaning following the above process. Several passes
through a line are recommended for complete cleaning.
Draining Water from System
Draining machine will reduce the jetter weight for
transportation and minimize the chance of water spillage.
To drain the tank, attach a hose to the tank drain and
open valve. Once the tank is empty, disconnect the quick
connect from the hose reel and allow water to drain from
pump and hoses.
If using the jetter in cold weather conditions, see Machine
Storage for information on freeze protecting.
Using Water Jetter Machine
as a Pressure Washer
Wash down gun is not to be used in conjuction with
remote reel wtih 1/4” hose.
This Jetwave water jetting machine can also be used as
a pressure washer. Use as a pressure washer is similar to
use as a jetter, and those instructions should be used in
conjunction with the following.
1. Locate an appropriate work area
2. Make sure all equipment has been properly inspected
3. Attach the wash wand to the jetter hose using the
quick connect coupling. Make sure the hose is
securely connected to prevent it from coming off under
pressure.
4. When using the jetter as a pressure wash, the wash
wand acts as the water control valve. Open other
valves in the system to allow water to flow
5. Connect an appropriate water supply, as discussed
earlier, to the jetter. Never start the engine without the
water supply turned ON. This can damage the pump.
6. Wash Wand Lock Out – the wash wand includes a lock
out on the back of the trigger. Flip the lock out down
to prevent the operation of the trigger when the wash
wand is not in use (Figure 14).
7. With the wand pointed in a safe direction, squeeze the
wash wand trigger to reduce pressure and allow the
engine to be started. Following the starting instructions
supplied in the engine manual, start the engine. Set
the throttle to the full open position. Allow the engine
to warm up. Release the trigger soon after the engine
starts.
8. With the wand pointed in a safe direction, squeeze
the wash wand trigger. If applicable; turn the unloader
valve while monitoring the pressure gauge to adjust
the pressure as desired. Do not exceed the machine
pressure rating. Release the wash wand trigger.
Pressure Washer operation
1. When using as a pressure washer use both hands
to grip and direct the wash wand for greater control.
Never direct the wash wand at people. High pressure
fluid can inject under skin resulting in serious injury.
Never direct wash wand at electrical equipment or
wiring to reduce the risk of electrical shock.
2. Control the flow of water with the trigger. Use care
when using the pressure washer. Holding the nozzle
too close to a surface can damage it. Test a small,
inconspicuous area to confirm the settings work as
desired.
3. Do not allow the jetter to run for extended period of
time with the trigger OFF. When the trigger is OFF,
water recirculates and it causes the water to heat up.
4. Once pressure washing is complete, release the trigger
and turn OFF the engine as directed in the engine
manual. Squeeze the trigger and ensure all water
control valves are also in open position to release
system pressure. Never leave the system pressurized.
