lubricant  oil. Approximately  300  ml  of  oil  are  required  to
change the gearbox oil.

Preparing Pump for Cold Weather
Storage

If the jetter will be stored under conditions where

the temperature is near or below 0°C, the jetter must be
properly prepared. If water freezes in the pump, it can dam-
age it.

After the tank is drained, remove the hose from the water
inlet  filter.  Open  all  valves  in  the  system  and  use  com-
pressed air to force any water out of the system. This can
also be used to remove water from the hoses.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of serious injury, only use optional
equipment specifically designed and recommended
for  use  with  the  RIdGId  KJ-5000,  such  as  those
listed below.

Machine Storage

Store  the  jetter  in  a  well  ventilated  area

protected  from  rain  and  snow.  Keep  the  machine  in  a
locked area that is out of reach of children and people unfa-
miliar with Jetters. This machine can cause serious injury in
the hands of untrained users. 

See Maintenance section

for

information on cold weather storage. 

See engine operator’s

manual for specific information on engine storage.

Pump Lubrication/Maintenance

Check the pump oil level prior to each use. Place the jetter
on a level surface. Wipe any dirt and debris from the area of
the dipstick and sight-glass. Oil level should be at the mid-
dle of the sight-glass 

(Figure 16)

. If needed, remove the dip-

stick and add SAE 15W-40 Mineral non-detergent oil, fill to
half-way on the sight-glass. Do not overfill, reinstall dipstick.

Figure 16 – Checking Pump and Gearbox Oil Level

Change oil in pump after first 50 hours of operation and
every  500  hours  of  operation  after  that. With  the  pump
warm from operation, remove plug on bottom of pump and
drain oil into suitable container. Replace plug. Fill to approx-
imately  half-way  on  the  sight-glass  with  SAE  15W-40
Mineral  non-detergent  oil  using  the  checking  procedure.
Approximately 1000 ml of oil are required to change the
pump oil.

At 1000 hours of use (less in severe use conditions) the 
KJ-5000 should be taken to a RIDGID Independent Service
Center for pump seal and valve service.

Gearbox Lubrication

Check the gearbox oil level prior to each use. Place the jet-
ter on a level surface. Wipe any dirt and debris from the area
of the dipstick and sight-glass 

(Figure 16)

. Oil level should

be at the middle of the sight-glass. If needed, remove the
dipstick  and  add  SAE  85W-140  gear  lubricant  oil,  fill  to
half-way  on  the  sight-glass.  Do  not  overfill,  reinstall  dip-
stick.

Change oil in gearbox every 500 hours of operation. With the
gearbox warm from operation, remove plug on bottom of
gearbox and drain oil into suitable container. Replace plug.
Fill to half-way on the sight-glass with SAE 85W-140 gear
