The following is a video presentation on the proper use of the KJ 2200 and the KJ 3000 water
jetting machines. It is designed to make the operation of your KJ 2200 and KJ 3000 water
jetting machines easy and efficient. The KJ 2200 water jetting machine, is designed to clean drains
one in 1/4 to 6 inch in diameter, up to 200 feet in length. The KJ 3000 water jetting machine is
designed for 2 to 8 inch lines up to 300 feet in length. Warning: these jetters are designed
to clean drains and should not be used for other purposes. Do not spray flammable liquids or toxic
chemicals such as, insecticides or weed killer before assembling or operating the KJ 2200 or
KJ 3000, be sure to read the operator's manual. Safety instructions are located in the front
of the manual. Read and understand all the safety and operating instructions before
operating the KJ 2200 or KJ 3000. Read all labels on the machine, always wear safety
glasses and rubber boots when operating a jetter. For your convenience this video is divided into
the following segments so you can quickly find what you need. Machine setup, engine startup and
pressure adjustment. Machine operation, indoor applications, troubleshooting, technical service.
Machine setup, if your machine is new you will need to remove the temporary shipping plug in
the pump gearbox and Honda motor and replace with the enclosed permanent dipstick and/or breather
caps. The pump and gearbox housing, will have the proper amount of oil and gear lube direct from the
factory. You must add the SAE 10w30 detergent oil to the Honda engine, prior to starting the motor.
Check the engines crankcase oil level each time, before starting. If it's low at Honda four-stroke
oil or SAE 10w30 detergent oil. Next check the engines fuel level, if it is low add unleaded
gasoline with a pump octane rating of 86 or higher. See the enclosed Honda owner's manual
for details. Warning: use caution when handling gasoline, do not overfill the fuel tank and do
not spill fuel. Check the pump oil level. Your Jetta has been shipped with oil, however when it
runs low fill it with SAE 30 wait detergent oil. Finally check the gear box for the proper gear
lube level. If flow replenish with 90 weight gear lube. Connect the quick coupling fitting to the
water supply hose connect the water supply hose. To the jetter Inlet and close the inlet supply valve.
Connect the other end of the water supply hose to the water faucet and turn the faucet on, make
sure there are no kinks or unnecessary bends in the supply hose. Hot water improves the jetters
performance. Especially, when cleaning grease blockages. Warning: limit the water temperature to
below 140 degrees Fahrenheit. Connect to jeder hose to the jetters outlet quick coupling on the end of
the connection hose. If a hose reel is used attach the connection hose to the plug fitting on the
hose reel. Next, insert the jetter hose six to eight inches into the drain, without a jet or nozzle.
Now, open the inlet supply valve and run water through the jetter and hoses, until all air has been purged.
Close the inlet supply valve and attach a jet or nozzle, to the jet hose and tighten for a snug fit.
Insert the jet hose into the line several feet. Open the inlet supply valve and verify that water
flows freely, through the nozzle. Engine startup and pressure adjustment. Turn the unloader valve
counterclockwise to ensure the pressure is back down. Turn the fuel valve to the on position. Move
the choke lever to the closed position. Move the throttle lever slightly to the left. To start the
engine turn the engine switch to the on position, pull the starter grip lightly until resistance
is felt. Then, pull briskly. If your KJ 3000 is equipped with an electrical start, insert the
key into the ignition and turn to the on position. Turn the key to the start position, to start the
engine and release the key after the engine is started. As the engine warms up, gradually move
the choke lever to the open position and adjust the throttle lever to the desire engine speed. See
your Honda operators manual for further details. Machine operation. Warning: keep hands away from
the nozzle and do not direct the water discharge at any person. High-pressure spray can result in
skin penetration and serious injury. To operate your water jetter, adjust the unloading valve so
that the pressure gauge is in the Green Zone or 2200 psi for the KJ 2200 and 3000 psi for the
KJ 3000. Warning: do not operate the jetter above the rated pressure. For normal jetting turn the
pulse actuator to the off position and guide the hose into the line, by hand. when the gener
nozzle encounters a bend, its advance will usually slow or stop. The jetter hose has a slight bend or
set to it. The reverse thrust of the nozzle will advance the jetter hose, but is also necessary to
manually feed and rotate the gener hose to work the set around the bend. If the hose won't advance,
pull on the hose slightly and rotate the hose a quarter to a half turn, so the set will align
itself with the bend. Then advance the hose forward. In some cases simply rotating the hose will not
be enough to negotiate a bend or trap, in these cases it will be necessary to induce some pulse
action. In the pulse mode, the pump introduces large pulsation and jetter hose vibration, which will ease
hose advancement, rotate the pulse actuator lever clockwise to induce the pulse. While in the pulse
mode, again rotate the hose to align the set of the hose, with the bend in the pipe. This technique will
normally overcome stubborn bends or tribes. Once through the bend or trap, return the pulse control
actuator levered to the off position and continued the jetter heads advance. If the jetter nozzle does
not pass right through the blockage, combined the pulse action of the pump, with manual manipulation
of the hose. Once through the obstruction, past the jetter nozzle back and forth several times with
the pulse off through the section of the drain, to ensure thorough clearing then, advance the
nozzle several feet further down the line, before retrieving the hose. Finally once the jetter head
is through all bends and obstructions, slowly retrieve the jetter hose and clean the inside
walls of the pipe. Warning: never permit the end of the hose to rotate out of the pipe being clean. The
hose can whip, causing serious injury. After using your jeder, run clear water through the jetter and
hose or hoses. Make sure the nozzle is removed from the hose, from maximum water flow. After flushing, be
sure to use the winterizing kit, if you plan to store the jetter in freezing temperatures. Indoor
applications. For indoor applications, position the jetter in the appropriate outdoor location.
Warning: because of the exhaust fumes, never run the engine in an enclosed or contained area.
Disconnect the hose reel connection hose, from the jetter Quick Connect and remove the entire
hose reel. Move the hose reel and the foot valve to the indoor or remote drain access area. Prior
to making the connections to the remote foot valve, apply thread sealant to prevent leaks to both foot
valve connections. Attach the 50 foot interconnect hose or any hose rated for at least 3,000 psi to
the jetter Quick Connect. Connect the other end to the foot valve fitting marked in. Connect the hose
reel connection hose to the foot valve Quick Connect, marked out. You can now use your jeder
inside, using the foot valve to actuate the systems pressure. Troubleshooting: If the jetter does not
generate its respective psi. Make sure the engine throttle is adjusted properly. Make sure the water
faucet is completely open and the inlet supply valve is open. Check the filter screen at the
inlet port to the jetter, make certain it is clear of debris. Make sure the pulse actuator is in the
off position. Cycle the pulse actuator on and off several times, while the jetter is running to clear
any trapped air in the system. Rotate the unloader valve clockwise, to make sure it increases pressure.
For the KJ 3000, check the inlet strainer and make certain it is clear of debris, by removing the
bottom bowl. When the pressure gauge reaches its respective psi you are ready to begin operating.
If your Jetta runs but produces little or no pressure. Make certain the water supply faucet
is on. Make certain that jetters water supply inlet valve is on. Make certain the water supply
hose is clear and not kinked or collapsed. If your Jetta will not adjust a full operating pressure at
startup. Remove the nozzle from the jet hose and run the Jetta to flush air or debris from the
system. Remove the nozzle and clean thruster orifices with the nozzle cleaning tool.
If the gener pressure gauge, oscillates from 100 to 2,200 psi for the KJ 2200 or 500 to 3000 psi for
the KJ 3000. Remove the nozzle. Then use the nozzle cleaning tool, to clear nozzle orifices making sure
to select the proper wire size and push completely through each thruster orifice to remove debris.
Remove the nozzle and insert the jet hose in the
drain line. Then run the jetter to flush trapped air or debris.
