MAXJET 5i Nozzle Maintenance

DOCUMENT SCOPE

This document contains the following instructions for the MAXJET 5i nozzle assembly and inlet body filter assemblies 
on an A-Jet, Tilt-A-Jet, or Motorized Z-Axis installed on an OMAX or MAXIEM Abrasive Waterjet Systems. 

OVERVIEW

The MAXJET 5i nozzle assembly has a 500-hour warranty (prorated for use) when installed, operated, and maintained 
using the correct procedures. The integrated nozzle assembly's diamond orifice and carbide disc are factory aligned 
and permanently installed inside the nozzle to produce an accurate jet stream while cutting. There are two styles of 
nozzle, nozzle with abrasive tubing 

retention tube

 [1] or nozzle with abrasive 

inlet

 [2] (Figure 1). The style used is 

dependent on nozzle availability and equipment. Both nozzles operate the same. 

Replace the nozzle assembly after 500 or more hours of operation and the water jet stream quality degrades. Speak 
with 

Customer Support

 when the water jet stream quality degrades prematurely (less than 500 hours of operation).

NOTICE

Do not disassemble the MAXJET 5i nozzle body. The nozzle body components are factory assembled and 
aligned. Disassembling the nozzle body can damage the nozzle body and voids the warranty.

Handle the nozzle body with care to prevent damage to the abrasive tubing retention tube [1].
