Use extreme caution when attaching devices to the discharge of this equipment. Allow only trained individuals to operate this machinery. The attachments must be rated to operate within the pressure range of the equipment or injury could occur. Only use attachments designed, rated, and sized for the equipment by the manufacturer.
The discharge hoses and fittings should be inspected before every use. Also inspect the connec- tions made on the hose reels. Refer to accessories listing and exploded views included for speci- fications and replacement parts.
For pressure wash applications, the ideal hose to deliver adequate water flow and pressure at dis- tances up to 300 feet is a 3/8” ID hose with a minimum burst pressure rating no less than four times the operating pressure of the equipment. For drain jetting and sewer cleaning, a hose should be selected for the adequate pressure range and length needed. The diameter of the hose should be chosen from the chart below for the application requirements.
Hose size | Pipe size | Typical application |
3/8” or 5/16” | 4” to 8” lines | Floor drains, septic lines, and long runs |
1/4” | 2” to 4” lines | Kitchen, laundry drains, and |
1/8” | 1” to 2” lines | Tight bends, bathroom and trap lines |

Drain and trap hoses
In drain jetting applications, the hose must be inserted into the drain line at least five feet before starting water flow. Be sure machine is not powered on before hose is inserted into the drain. Be sure machine is shut down before removing the hose from the drain. Always be sure hose is marked at the point five feet from the nozzle to iden- tify nozzle position.
Drain and trap hoses listed in the accessory sheet are fitted with a
Nozzles The nozzle, or tip, of the machine is used to restrict the discharge water flow to achieve the rated operating pressure of the equipment. Only use a properly sized nozzle for your equipment. The nozzle should be inspected before every use for obstructions and nozzle wear. New nozzles can be selected from the accessory sheet enclosed in the Operator’s Manual folder pocket.
