The machine serial number is located on the frame. The
last 4 digits indicate the month and year of the manufac-
ture. (01 = month, 18 = year).

This machine is made to clean drains. If prop-

erly  used  it  should  not  damage  a  drain  that  is  in  good
condition and properly designed, constructed and main-
tained.  If  the  drain  is  in  poor  condition  or  not  properly
designed, constructed or maintained, the drain cleaning
process may not be effective or could cause damage to the
drain. The best way to determine the condition of a drain
before cleaning is through visual inspection with a camera.
Improper use of this jetting machine can damage the jetter
and the drain. This machine may not clear all blockages.

Machine Assembly

WARNING

To  prevent  serious  injury  during  use  and  prevent
machine damage, follow these procedures for prop-
er assembly.

engine oil

The  jetter  is  shipped  with  oil  in  the  engine.

Operating the engine with low or no oil will result in engine
failure. 

See supplied engine operator’s manual 

for specific

information on checking oil, adding oil and oil selection.

Pump/Gearbox oil

The jetter is shipped with oil in the pump and gearbox.
Check oil level 

(ensure half way on sight-glasses)

per

Maintenance 

section.

Pre-operation Inspection

WARNING

Before each use, inspect your water jetter and cor-
rect  any  problems  to  reduce  the  risk  of  serious
injury from high pressure water and other causes
and prevent jetter damage.

Always wear safety glasses, gloves and other appro-
priate protective equipment when inspecting your
jetter  to  protect  against  chemicals  and  bacteria
on the equipment

1.  Make sure that the battery isolator and engine switch

is in the OFF position.

2.  Clean  any  oil,  grease  or  dirt  from  the  equipment,

including the handles and controls. This aids inspec-
tion and helps prevent the machine or control from
slipping from your grip.

3.  Inspect the water jetter and accessories for the fol-

lowing:
• Proper assembly and completeness.
• Broken, worn, missing, misaligned, binding or loose

parts.

• Presence  and  readability  of  the  warning  labels.

(See Figure 4.)

• Any  other  condition  which  may  prevent  the  safe

and normal operation.

If any problems are found, do not use the water jetter
until the problems are corrected.

Figure 4A – KJ-5000 Warning Labels

Figure 4B – KJ-5000 Warning Labels

4.  Clean water filter 

(Figure 5 )

. Using the drain valve,

drain the tank. Unscrew the brass cover from bottom of
the filter and remove and clean the mesh filter. Dirt and
debris  can  restrict  the  water  flow  to  the  pump  and
cause performance issues.
