SAFETY GUIDELINES

Read and save all instructions. Before use, be sure everyone using this machine reads and

understands this manual, as well as any labels packaged with or attached to the machine.

WARNING

!

When using electric tools, certain safety precautions
are required to reduce the risk of electrical shock
and personal injury.

WARNING

!

To reduce the risk of injury, always unplug your

machine before performing any maintenance. Never

disassemble the machine or try to do any wiring on
the electrical system. Contact Elliott for all repairs.

• Those unfamiliar with the Elliott Roto-Jet II® should read this operation manual
thoroughly before use. Know your equipment. Consider the applications, limitations
and the potential hazards specic to your unit.

• Always wear safety glasses, protective gloves, safety shoes and protective clothing.

• Do not allow other people in the area of the machine unless they are wearing suitable

protective clothing and equipment.

• Avoid dangerous environments. Do not use your Elliott Roto-Jet II® in or around the
presence of explosive atmospheres (gaseous fumes, dust or ammable materials).

Remove materials or debris that may ignite.

• Always use properly grounded electrical outlets. Do not use this machine without a

grounded prong.

• To prevent voltage drop, do not use an extension cord unless absolutely necessary.
Then, make certain the cord is or equal rating or larger than the machine power cord.

• Check power cords before using. Damaged cords can reduce performance or cause a

fatal electric shock.

• Unplug the power cord from the outlet when not in use and prior to doing any tool

changes or maintenance. Do not pull on the cord to disconnect from the outlet.

• Avoid accidental starts. Make sure the power switch is in the “OFF” position before

plugging the unit into an outlet.

• To allow free air circulation, the unit should not be covered during operation.

• Do not operate the machine if there appears to be damage to the machine, if screws

are loose or missing, or if performance appears to be unsatisfactory.

• Never use your Elliott Roto-Jet II®, or any other power tool when under the inuence

of drugs, alcohol or medication that decreases concentration and impairs operator
control.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This machine must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of
least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This product is equipped with a

GFI plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded

in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

WARNING

!

Warning: Improper connection of this equipment-grounding conductor
can result in a risk of electrocution. Check with a qualied electrician or
service technician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly
grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with this product. If it will not
t the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualied electrician.

G.F.I. Plug Operating Instructions (Not supplied on 220 Volt units)

1. The GFI plug has been designed to prevent lethal electric shock by interrupting the circuit

whenever fault-to-ground occurs.

2. The GFI plug instantly opens the circuit when it senses an imbalance of 4-5 milliamps and
it constantly monitors electrical current to a connected load.

3. The GFI plug also offers instant protection from open-neutral conditions that can be

created when a break occurs in the neutral conductor or the power source.

WARNING

!

1. This unit offers NO protection against electrical shock hazard

resulting from defects or faults in any wiring supplying power to the

machine.

2. Ground fault interrupters DO NOT protect against electrical shock

resulting from contact between hot (line) and common (neutral)

conductors of an electrical circuit.

3. If the GFI tests properly without load equipment connected, but
trips each time load equipment is connected, then the equipment
has a ground fault and needs to be repaired or replaced. If that
condition exists, DO NOT BYPASS the GFI as a real shock hazard
may be present.

4. The GFI plug is designed for protective purposes, do not utilize it as

an On/Off switch.

5. Test the GFI plug before each use to ensure proper operation.

Manual Reset

1. Plug the GFI into a 3-wire 120 Volt grounded receptacle.

2. Fully press the reset button marked (marked “R”) and release. The unit should power up

and the amber “POWER ON” light should glow.

3. Fully press the test button (marked “T”) and release. The power light should go off.

4. Press and release the reset button again. Verify that the power light is on and the GFI is

now operational.

5. If the GFI fails to reset, or fails to turn off when all appropriate buttons are pressed, check
to make sure that:

a.) You have fully depressed and released the proper buttons.

b.) There are no loose wire strands or foreign materials in the access chamber of the

GFI plug that may cause a fault.

6. If the GFI still cannot complete the cycle described in steps 2 through 4 above and after

checking the items in step 5,the unit is not functioning. Contact Elliott for repairs.

START-UP

Unpacking

Your Elliott Roto-Jet II® is shipped in a well-packed carton with the electric supply cord attached and
the foot pedal detached. Upon receiving your new machine, inspect the unit for damage. If damage is
discovered notify Elliott and the carrier. DO NOT discard the carton or any packaging. Inspectors will

need to examine both the carton and the contents.

Connecting Instructions (See diagrams on pages 13 & 15)

1. Uncoil the air tubes that are attached to the foot pedal and insert the air tube into the air

port. In the case of a reversing unit, attach the tube of the “right” foot pedal to the “right”
barbed air port on the machine and the tube of the “left” foot pedal to the “left” barbed air

port.

2. Uncoil the exible shaft. Never operate a exible shaft that is coiled. Install the drive

coupling onto the exible shaft. (See diagram 1) Remove the protective cap from the

manifold. Make certain the o-ring is properly installed in the groove of the manifold. Insert
the drive coupling into the drive socket inside the manifold, tighten the manifold cap onto

the manifold. Firm hand tightening will be sufcient.

3. Connect a standard garden hose to the water inlet on the front of the machine. Make sure
the ltered washer is properly installed prior to connecting the water hose. The water
supply may be turned on at any time after connection is made, water will not ow through
the manifold until the exible cable is activated.

4. Select and install the appropriate cleaning attachment to the tool coupling of the exible
shaft.

5. Uncoil the power cord and plug the GFI plug into a properly wired, grounded outlet.

6. Move the power switch located on the opposite end of the unit to the “ON” position.

Depress the foot pedal to test the operation of the exible shaft.
NOTE: Once the exible shaft is activated water will begin to ow through the shaft
casing and exit at the tool end. Make certain that no water is leaking from the manifold

connection or from inside the machine.

Your Elliott Roto-Jet II® is now ready to brush tubes clean.
