PG 3
Pumps
• Remove “shipping” plug on top side of pumps and
replace with vented plug. This is very important
for the proper operation of the pumps.
• Do not store or run the pumps on its side or at a
sharp angle, since oil can run out of the vent plug.
Environment
• Use caution in confined, wet areas. Drain cleaning
professionals often work directly through non-trapped
openings into sewers — make sure that there is adequate
ventilation into the work area.
• Neutralize or remove corrosive drain cleaners from drain
before starting.
• Do not operate machine in areas where combustible
gases, liquids or dust are present. Fire or explosion may
occur.
Keep bystanders or unauthorized persons away
Insist they keep a safe distance before operating
high pressure equipment.
• Never hold on to nozzle or point it at anyone with
machine turned on. High pressure water streams can
cause serious bodily harm.
Always insert hose at least 3'- 4' into pipe opening and
hold onto hose before turning the machine on.
Shut the machine down:
• When changing nozzles, hose or reels.
• Before disconnecting water supply. Running a water
pump “dry” will seriously damage the water pump.
• If it will be unattended.
• If machine fails to run properly.
Common Sense Don’t operate equipment while smoking,
under the influence of drugs, alcohol or if taking medica-
tion that alters alertness.
Keep all labels, decals, warnings, cautions, and instructions
with machine. For new decals or labels contact Mytana.
• NEVER spray flammable liquids or toxic chemicals (such
as insecticide or weed killer)
• NEVER run acids or hard caustics (such as lye) through the
pump. (Only water!)
• NEVER use chemicals or agents that are not compatible
with the Buna-N and PVC (polyvinyl chloride) or neoprene
covering of the hose.
• NEVER clean the machine using its own spray.
The machine is water-protected, but not water proof.
High-pressure spray could damage machine components.
Gas Jetters
• Operate machine in well ventilated environment.
Exhaust fumes can be potentially lethal to the
operator.
• DO NOT allow flame or sparks in the area of operation.
• DO NOT refuel engine when it is running or hot.
Spilled gasoline or gas vapor can ignite if it comes
in contact with hot engine.
• Be careful not to touch engine block or the manifold/
muffler during operation. These areas will become
very hot during normal operation.
• DO NOT operate the machine with the air cleaner
cover removed, this can cause a fire.
• DO NOT lay jetter unit on its side or tilt it backwards
more than 30° when transporting. This can cause gas
to leak out the cap vent.
u
DO NOT fill the gas tank all the way. Leave
several inches of space between the gas and the
top of the tank to prevent gas from leaking out
when transporting.
Use of diesel fuel in the gas tank may damage the
engine. In case of fuel spill use a cloth to clean up the
spilled fuel and move the machine to another area
until all vapors have cleared.
Gas jetters that are ordered with an electric starter
package will have a battery attached. Batteries contain
sulfuric acid. Avoid direct skin contact. Wear protec-
tive gloves, clothing and eyewear when handling your
battery!
Maintenance
• Keep machine clean and dry to maximize perfor-
mance and longevity.
• Follow maintenance schedules such as changing oil,
check for weak spots, slices or cuts in hose, keep inlet
screen clean, replace nozzles when worn.
• Keep antifreeze in hose and pump in freezing
temperatures.
• Additional maintenance details follow in this manual.
