We want to stress the importance of reading through our instruction manuals BEFORE the operation of our equipment.
If you've lost your copy, we have some supplied under our Downloads section or you can call (800.328.8170) to request one by mail.
• Don't overtighten (this can crush the feed bearings).
• Make sure to return conical spacers to both sides of the bearings when replacing the bearings (also known as feed wheels).
• Periodically clean and oil/grease unit, especially the front
lever/movement assembly.

To help improve the life of your foot pedal & hose, place foot on pedal directly opposite the hose fitting.
Continuous foot pressure near or on the hose fitting can cause small fissures around the fitting, which results in air leaks and loss of pressure.
Test the GFR that is mounted under the outdoor receptacle cover. It may
have sensed moisture and tripped (as it should). Push the test button to
make sure that the GFR is fully tripped. Then push the reset button all
the way down until it clicks into postion.
NOTE: If you don't hear the
button reset, use a non-metalic instrument (i.e. pen) to push the reset a
little deeper.
High pressure jetting is a great way to open frozen lines. Cold water
jetting will get the job done. Hot water will do it faster.
You can
run up to 140 degree water through our jetter pumps, BUT higher temperatures
can damage pump seals. If you really want effective hot water jetting,
try the Hot Box.
