hoses are used in the waterblasting system.
Prior to installing the 2" J-Force onto the hose, flush the system to clear any
debris.
15K PSI RATED CONNECTION (1/4" BSPP)
1. BSPP flat seal connections require a copper crush washer between the male
and female connections.
2. Seat copper crush washer in female BSPP connection on mandrel
3. Apply anti-seize compound to male threads of mating hose end.
4. Install the JF2X15 by using an appropriate open-ended wrench on flats found
on the body and tighten to 20 lbs. ft.
22K PSI RATED CONNECTION (9/16" & 3/8" LH/RH FEMALE INLET)
1. Apply anti-seize compound to the male threads of the connection.
NOTE: DO NOT use Teflon tape on 22K PSI connections.
2. Install the JF3X22 by using an appropriate open-ended wrench on flats found
on the body and tighten until firmly snug.
NOTE: DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN. Damage to coned sealing surface could result.
22K PSI RATED CONNECTION (1/2" NPT FEMALE INLET)
1. Apply 3-4 wraps of Teflon thread sealant tape to the available male threads of
the connection.
2. Apply anti-seize compound over the sealant tape for additional protection

OPERATION
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.) All operators shall be issued suitable
head protection, eye protection,hearing protection, body protection, hand and
foot protection and respiratory protection (if needed). For detailed specifications
on all protections required, refer to the WJTA-IMCA 'Recommended Practices
for the Use of High Pressure Waterjetting Equipment' Section 6, Protective
Equipment For Personnel.
! !
CAUTION
The 2" J-Force™ can be used at a minimum service temperature of -20°C (-4°F) and a
maximum service temperature of 115°C (240°F). Use at temperatures lower or higher than these
recommended temperatures may result in premature tool failure.
1. Start by slowly increasing pressure to 500 psi and check the entire system,
including all connections, for leaks. Increase pressure in increments,
pausing at each to inspect the system for leaks, proper rotation of tool,
temperature, and other operational anomalies. If any problems are
discovered, lower pressure back to zero and turn off source of power before
making any adjustments.
2. During operation, it is normal for water to leak out of the front of the head
from around the front nozzle (or front plug). This leak-by water comes from
the water-bearing that the tool operates on.
! !
WARNING
Remove the nozzle from service if:
a. The rotor or mandrel shows signs of cracking or other damage.
b. The wall thickness of these parts is reduced by 25% at any point.
c. The nozzles can no longer hold pressure at water flow rate for which it was sized.
NOTE: For improved reliability and longer life, it is recommended that
a filter of at least 10 microns be used on the water supply inlet. A
strainer (100 mesh minimum) must also be used in the water tank
(if equipped with tank).

• DO NOT operate the 2" J-Force above its specified pressure.
• Operator must wear ear protection due to the noise generated by the spinning nozzle.
• NEVER stand in the plane of blasting.
• A Lance Safety Grip is recommended to minimize the risk of a live nozzle unexpectedly exiting
the tube back at the lance operator.
• At high-pressure, the water can be hot. Wear gloves and use caution to prevent scalding.
• Place barricades with warning signs or barricade tape around the work area. This includes
the waterblast unit and all high-pressure hoses.
• Operator must be outfitted with proper safety apparel (refer to yellow JETSTREAM SAFETY
