  • Page 4 GENERAL WATERBLAST 1. Use only clear, clean water in high pressure system. 2. Place barricades with warning signs or barricade tape around work area. 3. Outfit all operators with Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). Hard hat with plastic face shield, rainsuit, non-skid knee boots with metatarsal protection, gloves, ear protection and body armor rated for operating pressures are considered minimum safety equipment.
  • Page 5 11. Properly tighten all high pressure connections. All NPT connections must have a minimum engagement of four (4) threads. Pipe (NPT) connections should be made up hand tight plus two (2) full wrenched turns. Do not tighten NPT threads past two (2) wrenched turns. Use wrench flats (when available) or a properly adjusted smooth jaw plier wrench (JS PN 64119) for tightening components.
  • Page 6 18. If equipment malfunctions or a system malfunction is suspected, immediately stop cleaning activity and relieve the pressure in the system before attempting any repairs. Always follow the manufacturer’s repair instructions. 19. Only trained persons should be authorized to perform any mainte- nance or repair.
  • Page 7 7. Do not use a pressure relief valve as a combination relief and throttling device. 8. Keep relief valve dry during freezing conditions. NOTE: Pressure relief devices are imperative for the protection of both operator and equipment from dangerous over-pressurization. HIGH PRESSURE HOSE 1.
  • Page 8 Wrench connection 1 1/2 - 2 turns past hand tight. A minimal thread engagement of four (4) threads should exist on all Jetstream NPT pipe connections. Use wrench flats (when available) or a properly adjusted smooth jaw plier wrench (JS PN 64119) to tighten nozzle.
  • Page 9 “double back” toward operator within large diameter pipe. C. Anti-withdrawal device prevents the lance from exiting the tube or pipe. Contact JETSTREAM for additional information regarding these products. 9. Use only nozzles designed for use with flex lances (i.e. nozzle drilled with sufficient rearward orifices so nozzle pulls lance through tube.)
  • Page 10 this clearance should be greater. Insufficient side clearance may cause lance to blow back toward operator. 4. Be sure nozzle, lance and adapter thread sizes are compatible before installing nozzle and adapter on lance. Do not use a rigid lance that has damaged or missing threads.
  • Page 11 Do not put any piece of repaired equipment into service if its performance is questionable. If repaired equipment performance is questionable, call manufacturer of repair parts for assistance.

    Section 3: Preparation for Use 3.0 The 6” J-Force is mounted to a flexible rubber waterblast hose that allows it to navigate 6” pipes with bends up to 90°. 3.1 Before use, disassemble the 6” J-Force and inspect the mandrel and bushing for wear, damage, o-ring condition, etc.
  • Page 15: Section 4: Setup

    NOTE: Nozzle configurations must be carefully selected to ensure that they provide the necessary pull and torque. If a non-standard configura- tion is required, contact a Jetstream representative to verify that it is safe and that the tool will function properly.
  • Page 16: Section 5: Operation

    Section 5: Operation 5.0 OPERATING J-FORCE As per the WJTA-IMCA Recommended Practices, all operators shall follow the OSHA regulations for personal protective equipment. (OSHA guidelines for Personal Protective Equipment are available in document number 3151-12R 2004, which can be obtained from www.osha.gov.)

  • Page 18 6.0 6” J-FORCE MAINTENANCEWhen not in use, the 6” J-Force should be cleaned to remove any debris, deposits, or contaminants that could impede rotation, and sprayed with water-dispersing lubricant (e.g. WD- 40) for storage until next use. The 6” J-Force utilizes water-bearing technology coupled with an eddy- current braking system to control the rotation speed.
  • Page 19 6.2 ASSEMBLY 1. Ensure the new mandrel (6a), flange bushing (6b), and head assembly (5) are clean. 2. Install new o-rings (6e) and seal rings (6d) onto the flange bushing (6b). Apply a light coat of o-ring lube to o-rings to reduce friction and ease installation.
  • Page 20 7. Insert the thrust bearing (6c) into the front bore of the head assem- bly (5) so that it sits flat against the flange of the flange bushing (6b). 8. Hold the inlet nut (2) hex stationary in a vice or with a 1-1/4” wrench and push the mandrel (6a) through the flange bushing (6b) into the inlet nut (2).
