SAFE JETTING
OPERATION OF REMOTE MINI REEL
The Remote Mini Reel offers the user the option of
remotely controlling the jetter.
1. Refer to page 8 for start-up procedure.
2. Run out a sufficient amount of jetting hose from
the jetter reel in order to comfortably reach the drain
access point.
3. Slip the hose restraint over the end of the jetting
hose.
4. Connect the extended jetting hose to the inlet on the
Remote Mini Reel and then secure the hose restraint
to the connection point.
5. Ensure that the ball valve on the Remote Mini Reel
has been closed.
6. Run out a sufficient length of jetting hose from the
Remote Mini Reel.
7. Push at least 3-metres of jetting hose through the
hole located in the centre of the safety plate.
8. Attach the selected drain cleaning nozzle to the end
of the jetting hose, ensuring that it is correctly
snapped into position.
9. Place at least 1-metre of hose down the drain, using
the hose marking as an accurate guide.
10. Cover the entrance to the drain with safety plate.
11. Turn on ball valve on the jetter, and then turn on
the ball valve on the Remote Mini Reel to activate
the high pressure jet to the nozzle.
12. Ease the hose down the drain. Twist the hose to aid
the nozzle in negotiating bends and turns. The
nozzle will create a gentle pulling action on the
hose. If it becomes stuck, a sharp tug should free it
up.
NOTE the ball valve on the Remote Mini Reel controls
the pressure to the nozzle, the ball valve on the jetter
controls the pressure to the Remote Mini Reel.
EMERGENCY STOP BUTTON
As per safety standards AS/NZS4233.1, it’s mandatory
that all Class B Jetters be fitted with an emergency
stop. This button should only be used in an emergency
situation.
ROTHENBERGER recommends de-throttling the engine,
and thus running with no load before turning the key
and shutting off the engine.
If the emergency button has been used, it
must be reset before the engine will start again.
To reset, turn the button clockwise.
After activating the E-Stop, remember to
turn the ignition key to the OFF position. Failure to do
so could lead to a flat battery and shortened battery
life.
