navigate and clean 3" pipes with up to 90° bends. The 3" J-Force has
front, side, and rear jets that clear blockages, clean, and provide
thrust to propel the tool down the pipe. The nozzle comes equipped
with an eddy-current braking system which controls rotation speed
for maximum cleaning power and minimum wear.
Read these instructions thoroughly before installing, connecting, or using the
J-Force tool. If any questions remain, call JETSTREAM at (800) 231-8192 or (832)

Page 3: Section 1: Safety
SECTION 1: SAFETY Incorrect Use of High Pressure Waterblast Equipment May Cause Serious Injury Read these instructions in their entirety before using any JETSTREAM products. This information was prepared to aid in the identification of potentially unsafe conditions when using high pressure waterblast equipment. It should be noted that other potential hazards may exist which might have not been mentioned in this brochure. - 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: Pressure Relief Devices
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 maintenance or repair. -
Page 7: High Pressure Hose
6. Do not attempt to correct a leaking relief valve by increasing spring tension as this will increase its set pressure. 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. - Page 8 only be properly installed with hydraulic crimping equipment. NOZZLES 1. Read General Safety section. 2. Nozzle flow ratings must be compatible with pump discharge and pump pressure rating. (See Nozzle Flow Rating Chart on page 27.) 3. Use only nozzles with a manufacturer’s pressure rating of at least the operating pressure or a burst rating or no less than 3.0 times the desired operating pressure.
- Page 9 3. Do not use a flex lance that has an unknown burst or unknown manufacturer’s operating pressure rating. 4. Never use a lance which is kinked, worn, frayed or whose abilities to hold pressure is questionable. 5. Do not use a lance which has damaged or missing threads. 6.
- Page 10 13. After use, drain, coil and store lance properly. Be sure safety tags remain intact. RIGID TUBE CLEANING LANCES 1. Read General Safety section and Nozzle Safety Warnings prior to connecting rigid lances. 2. Do not use a rigid lance with a burst rating less that 3.0 times the pressure at which it will operate.

Page 11: Replacement Parts
HIGH PRESSURE FITTINGS 1. Read General Safety section prior to installing fittings in system. 2. Use non-brass or non-cast iron fittings which are made for high pressure waterblast use. 3. Use only high pressure fittings which are clearly marked with the operating pressure. -

SECTION 4: SETUP 4.0 CONNECTING 3” J-FORCE Prior to installing the 3” J-Force onto the hose, flush the system to clear any debris. For 22,000 psi operation (9/16” Type M Male, 3/8”MP LH/RH, 9/16”MP LH/RH Inlet) 1. Apply anti-seize compound to the threads of the Type M connection or to the male MP hose/lance end. -
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.) All operators shall be issued suitable head protection, eye protection, hearing protection, body protection, hand and foot protection and respiratory protection (if needed). - Page 17 5.4 After use, used compressed air to blow out as much water from the tool as possible. Then spray the tool with a water-displacing lubricant (e.g. WD-40). Make an effort to get the lubricant inside the tool. This prevents corrosion from starting internally, which could affect the tool’s ability to spin the next time it is used.
