3 Water Control Valve. Choose the valve to be used to
control water flow.
If using a foot valve to control water flow, route a hose
from the jetter pump to the IN fitting on the foot valve.
Connect the hose on OUT fitting of the foot valve to the
hose reel to be used. Connect so that the foot valve
hose feeds into the ball valve on the hose reel.
(See
Figure 8.)
Figure 8 – Standard Remote Reel Connection
If not using the foot valve, use the ball valve on the reel
being used to control water flow. Route a hose from the
jetter pump into the ball valve on the hose reel. Make
sure quick connect fittings are secure.
4. Position the reel for accessibility. You must be able to
control the jetter hose and the water control valve.
5. Mark the jetter hose near the end to indicate when the
nozzle is getting close to the drain opening when
withdrawn. This will help prevent the nozzle from
coming out of the drain and whipping around. The dis-
tance depends on the configuration of the drain, but
should be at least 4'/1.2 m
6. Select a nozzle and attach. Use nozzles specifically
sized for the jetter being used. Using incorrect nozzles
can cause poor performance (low operating pressure
or low flow) or may damage the jetter with excessive-
ly high pressures. Make sure the nozzle orifices are
clear and open.
See Jetter Nozzle Selec tion Chart.
Many nozzles attach to the hose with a quick connect.
To attach, pull the collar back, fully insert the male end
of the quick connect mounted on the nozzle and
release the collar (
See Figure 9).
Confirm that the con-
nection is secure. This will reduce the risk that the noz-
zle is lost during use.
Figure 9 – Nozzle Quick Connect Operation
Only use nozzles for the pipe sizes they are rated for.
Using a nozzle designed for smaller pipe sizes in larger
diameter pipe increases the risk of the nozzle changing
direction in the drain, exiting at the user and causing
serious injury.
If using the Reverse Root Cutting nozzle for drains larger
than 6"/150 mm and up to 10"/250 mm, an extension
must be used to reduce the risk of the nozzle changing
direction in the drain, exiting at the user and causing seri-
ous injury. For drains 6"/150 mm and smaller, no extension
is needed. If needed, firmly hand tighten the extension to
the nozzle – do not over tighten.
See Figure 10.
