General safety
If a connection is made to a potable water system, the system

local codes and ordinances.
Don't spray water on the motor nor put the machine in
water.

Jetter safety
1. Do
not
operate
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 overfill fuel tank and do
not spill fuel. Make sure tank cap is closed properly.
Gasoline is extremely flammable and is explosive
under certain conditions.
3. Never run the engine in an enclosed or confined
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 muffler while it is hot. To
avoid severe burns or fire hazards, let the engine cool
before transporting or storing it indoors. The muffler

(KJ-1590 II)/
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
fluid 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 flammable liquids. Spraying flammable
liquids could cause a fire or explosion.
9. Do not spray toxic chemicals such as insecticide or
weed killer. Chemicals can be harmful to personnel
and machine.
10. Never clean the machine using its own spray. High
all
pressure spray may damage machine components.
NOTE: the normal operating pressure of the KJ-1590 II is
80 bar. You can run the machine at maximum 90 bar up to
10 minutes.
