system should be protected against backfl ow in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances.
Don’t spray water on the motor nor put the machine in
water.
The electric motor is splashproof (isolation class IP 55).
Jetter safety
1. Do not operate above 90 bar (KJ-1590 II)/
150 bar (KJ-2200)/205 bar (KJ-3000) or 70°C (water
temperature). Tool will do a better and safer job if
operated at recommended pressures. The KJ-1590 II
has a normal operation pressure of 80 bar (machine
can operate a couple minutes on 90 bar).
2. Use caution when handling gasoline. Refuel in
wellventilated area. Do not overfi ll fuel tank and do
not spill fuel. Make sure tank cap is closed properly.
Gasoline is extremely fl ammable and is explosive
under certain conditions.

area. Exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide
gas; exposure may cause loss of consciousness and
may lead to dead.
4. Be careful not to touch the muffl er while it is hot.
To avoid severe burns or fi re hazards, let the engine
cool before transporting or storing it indoors. The
muffl er becomes very hot during operation and
remains hot for a while after stopping the engine.
5. Never permit the end of the hose to rotate out of
the pipe being cleaned. Hose can whip causing
injury.
6. Water spray should not be pointed at any human.
High pressure spray can result in serious injury.
If fl uid seems to have penetrated skin, seek
emergency medical attention at once.
7. Jetter is designed to clean drains. Follow instructions
in Operator’s manual on machine’s uses. Other uses
may increase the risk of injury.
8. Do not spray fl ammable liquids. Spraying fl ammable
liquids could cause a fi re or explosion.
9. Do not spray toxic chemicals such as insecticide or
weed killer. Chemicals can be harmful to personnel
and machine.
