KJ-3000 Water Jetter Machine

Lubrication

Before each use:
• Check engine crankcase oil level. If low, add SAE
10-W-30 detergent oil.
• Check the oil level in the jetter pump. If it is low, fill
with SAE 30W detergent oil. The pump manufac-
turer recommends an oil change after 40 hours of
break-in operation and every 500 hours thereafter.
• Check the oil level in the gear box. If oil level is low,
fill with 90W gear lube.
Inlet Line and Filter Screen
Before each use:
• Check inlet line strainer inlet filter screen for debris
that can restrict water flow into the pump resulting in
poor performance. If filter screen is dirty or clogged,
remove, clean and replace.

Jetter Nozzles

Before each use:
• Check the jetter nozzle orifices for debris. If an ori-
fice is blocked, use nozzle cleaning tool to clear and
remove debris.
• If using the Root Ranger Nozzle, remove turbine
barrel to clean debris. Ensure that outlet is not
damaged or obstructed. Replace ceramic insert if
damaged or severely worn.

Jetter Flushing

After use:
• Run clear water through the jetter and hose(s) in
order to flush out debris or detergent. Make sure
nozzle is removed from hose for maximum water
flow. Flushing should always be done after using the
injector in order to flush out detergents.

Winterizing

CAUTION Freezing temperatures can cause serious
damage to the pump. If such cold conditions are to be en-
countered in storage, charge the jetter with RV (non-ethy-
lene glycol) Anti-Freeze.
The winterizing kit (H-25) includes RV Anti-Freeze and a
delivery hose that attaches to the inlet valve.
