side of the drain. Hose can whip, causing striking
injuries  and  spray  can  penetrate  skin  and  cause
serious injury.

High pressure fluid can inject under skin resulting in
serious injury, including amputation. do not direct
spray at people or animals.

do not operate jetter above pressure rating or 60°C
(inlet water temperature). This increases the risk of
injury, including burns, and damage to the jetter.

one  person  must  control  the  jetting  process  and
water  flow.  If  the  jetter  hose  comes  out  of  the
drain,  the  operator  must  be  able  to  shut  off  the
water  flow  to  reduce  the  risk  of  the  jetter  hose
whipping, causing striking and high pressure injec-
tion injuries

Always use appropriate personal protective equip-
ment while handling and using drain cleaning equip-
ment. drain may contain chemicals, bacteria and
other  substances  that  may  be  toxic,  infectious,
cause burns or other issues. Appropriate personal
protective equipment always includes safety glass-
es  and  gloves,  and  may  also  include  equipment
such as latex or rubber gloves, face shields, gog-
gles,  protective  clothing,  respirators,  and  steel

If using nozzles that are not equipped with a quick
connect (such as the Macro Drain Nozzle), the female
quick connect must be removed from the end of the
hose  and  the  nozzle  securely  threaded  on.  Stock
hoses and nozzles use BSPT threads. Make sure that
the threads match and that sealant is used to prevent
leaks.

WARNING

Always wear eye protection to protect your eyes
against dirt and other foreign objects. Always wear
appropriate personal protective equipment for the

Penetrating Nozzle (Red Cowl): Uses three jet thrusters in reverse plus one jet pointed forward to pene-
trate solid grease, sludge or sediment blockages. The forward jet blasts a small hole in the blockage for
the nozzle to follow. It is also very effective when jetting ice blockages. Attaches to hose with quick con-
nect, includes cowl protection. For 3" to 6" drain sizes.

Negotiator Nozzle (Blue Cowl): Use this nozzle to help negotiate more difficult bends or gully traps as it is of
a short construction. This nozzle has three reverse jet thrusts and one forward. Attaches to hose with quick
connect, includes cowl protection. For 3" to 6" drain sizes.

Large Drain Nozzle: hard fixed end within the standard kit for work on smaller diameter pipes (3" to 4") with
tighter radiuses/bends. This nozzle is smaller in size and eliminates the quick connect to allow easier nego-
tiation around bends in the line. It has three rear jets with one facing forward for a range of applications.

This nozzle is exceptionally small and short and has three rear jets with one facing forward for a range of
more domestic applications e.g. internal drains/pipes etc. Nozzle includes a

Reverse Root Cutting Nozzle: Use to clear roots and other type of blockages. Uses a rear facing oscillating
jet for more complete drain cleaning. Attaches to hose with quick connect. For drain sizes 4" to 10", as noted
here.

WARNING  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 serious injury.
