to warm up. Release the trigger soon after the engine
starts.

7.  With the wand pointed in a safe direction, squeeze the

wash  wand  trigger.  If  applicable;  turn  the  unloader
valve while monitoring the pressure gauge to adjust
the pressure as desired. Do not exceed the machine
pressure rating. Release the wash wand trigger.

Pressure Washer operation

1.  When using as a pressure washer use both hands to

grip  and  direct  the  wash  wand  for  greater  control.
Never direct the wash wand at people. High pressure
fluid can inject under skin resulting in serious injury.
Never  direct  wash  wand  at  electrical  equipment  or
wiring to reduce the risk of electrical shock.

2.  Control the flow of water with the trigger. Use care

when using the pressure washer. Holding the nozzle
too close to a surface can damage it. Test a small,
inconspicuous area to confirm the settings work as
desired.

3.  Do not allow the jetter to run for extended period of

time with the trigger OFF. When the trigger is OFF,
water  recirculates  and  it  causes  the  water  to  heat
up.

4.  Once pressure washing is complete, release the trig-

ger and turn OFF the engine as directed in the engine
manual.  Squeeze  the  trigger  and  ensure  all  water
control valves are also in open position to release sys-
tem pressure. Never leave the system pressurized.

Hose Reel Brake Adjustment

The reels are equipped with an adjustable brake to prevent
the  hose  from  playing  off  the  reel  under  its  own  weight.
Tightening wingnut increases the drag on the reel, loos-
ening decreases the drag. Adjust as desired. The brake
only  works  in  one  direction  (to  resist  hose  moving  off
reel)

Transportation and Storage

1.  Turn off the fuel valve and the battery isolation switch.

2.  Drain water from Jetter as needed.

3.  Coil hoses and secure equipment appropriately. All

loose material must be removed. Transport remote reel
separate from jetter.

4.  Jetter is equipped with wheels to allow transport over

smooth level surfaces.

5.  Jetter  weighs  195  kg.  Use  appropriate  equipment

and methods to load and transport. Use all four points
supplied at the top corners of the frame 

(Figure 6)

when  lifting.  Use  rigging  with  current  certifications
per the manufacturer’s instructions.

Maintenance Instructions

WARNING

Before performing any maintenance, engine switch
battery isolation switch should be in oFF position
and spark plug wires should be disconnected to pre-
vent  inadvertent  operation.  open  water  control
valve to release any fluid pressure in system. 

Always wear safety glasses and gloves when per-
forming any maintenance to help protect against
drain chemicals and bacteria.

Cleaning 

The hose should be cleaned as needed with hot, soapy
water and/or disinfectants. Do not allow water to enter the
engine or electrical system. Do not clean with pressure
washer. Wipe the unit down with a damp cloth.

engine

Maintain the engine as directed in the engine operator’s
manual supplied with the unit. An hour meter is included on
the engine to monitor jetter use. 

Battery

To change battery

1.  Unclip strap holding battery box top on, remove top.

2.  Disconnect ground (-) cable connection first, followed

by positive (+) cable connection.

3.  Remove battery.
4.  Reverse procedure to install.

Replacement batteries should have the following specifi-
cations:

• BCI Group/Type: U1
• Size (L x W x H): 196 x 128 x 159 (mm)
• Voltage: 12
