5. Inspect the jetter nozzle orifices for any damage or
blockage. Blockages can be cleaned with a nozzle
cleaning tool. Use care not to enlarge nozzle orifices
while cleaning. Damaged nozzles or nozzles with
enlarged orifices can decrease jetter performance
and should be replaced.
6. Inspect the hoses, connectors and fittings for wear and
damage. If there are any kinks, cracks, breaks or
wear through the outer jacket of the hose or other
damage, do not use the hose. Damaged hoses can
burst or leak high pressure water and cause serious
injury. Replacement hoses and fitting should be rated
at or higher than the jetter pressure.
7. Inspect and maintain the engine per the engine op-
erator's manual.
8. Check engine fuel level. For the KJ-3100, discon-
nect the hose reel latch and rotate the hose reel for-

Machine and Work Area Set-Up
Always wear safety glasses, gloves and other ap-
propriate protective equipment when setting up
your jetter to protect against chemicals and bacte-
ria on the equipment. Rubber soled, non-slip shoes
can help prevent slipping on wet surfaces.
Engines produce carbon monoxide, a colorless, o dor -
less poison gas. Breathing carbon monoxide can
cause nausea, fainting or death. Do not start and run
engine in an enclosed area, even if doors and win-
dows are open. Only operate outside.
Set up the jetter and work area according to these
procedures to reduce the risk of injury from high
pressure water, chemical burns, infections, carbon
monoxide and other causes, and prevent jetter dam-
age.
