General Safety Rules
WARNING
Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire, and/or serious injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
Work Area Safety
• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered
benches and dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmo-
spheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away
while operating a power tool. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
Electrical Safety
• Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such
as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your
body is grounded.
Personal Safety
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a power tool.
Do not use a tool while you are tired or under
the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A
moment of inattention while operating power tools
may result in serious personal injury.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose
clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and bal-
ance at all times. Proper footing and balance en-
ables better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protec-
tion. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection must be used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.
Tool Use and Care
• Do not force the tool. Use the correct tool for your
application. The correct tool will do the job better
and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
3
KJ-2200/KJ-3100 Water Jetting Machines
• Do not use the power tool if the switch does not
turn it ON and OFF. Any tool that cannot be con-
trolled with the switch is dangerous and must be
repaired.
• Store idle tools out of the reach of children and
other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in
the hands of untrained users.
• Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools
sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are
easier to control.
• Check for misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts and any other condition
that may affect the tool’s operation. If damaged,
have the tool serviced before using. Many acci-
dents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
• Use only accessories that are recommended by
the manufacturer for your model. Accessories
that may be suitable for one tool, may become hazardous when used on another tool.
Service
• Tool service must be performed only by quali-
fied repair personnel. Service or maintenance per-
formed by unqualified personnel could result in a
risk of injury.
• When servicing a tool, use only identical replace-
ment parts. Follow instructions in the Maintenance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized
parts or failure to follow Maintenance Instructions
may create a risk of electrical shock or injury.
Water Jetter Safety Warnings
• Do not operate jetter above pressure rating or
140°F / 60°C (inlet water temperature). This in-
creases the risk of injury, including burns, and damage to the jetter.
• One person must control both the jetting process
and the foot valve. Always use the foot valve. If
the jetter hose comes out of the drain, the operator
must be able to shut the water flow off to reduce the
risk of the jetter hose whipping, causing striking and
high pressure injection injuries.
• Always use appropriate personal protective
equipment while handling and using drain
cleaning equipment. Drain may contain chemicals,
bacteria and other substances that may be toxic,
infectious, cause burns or other issues. Appropriate
personal protective equipment always includes safety glasses and gloves, and may also include equipment such as latex or rubber gloves, face shields,
goggles, protective clothing, respirators, and steel
toed footwear.
• Practice good hygiene. Use hot soapy water to
wash hands and other body parts exposed to
drain contents after handling or using drain
cleaning equipment. Do not eat or smoke while
operating or handling drain cleaning equipment.
This will help prevent contamination with toxic or
infectious material.
• Do not spray toxic or flammable liquids. This will
reduce the risk of burns, fire, explosion or other injury.
• Gasoline and its vapors are highly flammable
and explosive. See engine manual for precautions
to reduce the risk of burns, explosions and serious
injury while handling and using gasoline.
WARNING
This section contains important safety information
that is specific to this tool.

Description, Specifications and
Standard Equipment
Description
The RIDGID® Engine Powered Water Jetting Machines
are portable high pressure water jetters designed to
use a combination of water pressure and flow to clear
grease, sludge, sediment and roots out of drains. A highly flexible and lightweight hose is propelled through
the drain by the reverse jets on the jetter nozzle, and
when retrieved scrubs the line flushing debris away.
With the pulse activation engaged, difficult bends
and traps are more easily negotiated. All machines are
equipped with a gasoline engine to drive the triplex
plunger pump.

5. Inspect the jetter nozzle orifices for any damage or
blockage. Blockages can be cleaned with a nozzle
cleaning tool. Use care not to enlarge nozzle orifices
while cleaning. Damaged nozzles or nozzles with
enlarged orifices can decrease jetter performance
and should be replaced.
6. Inspect the hoses, connectors and fittings for wear
and damage. If there are any kinks, cracks, breaks or
wear through the outer jacket of the hose or other
damage, do not use the hose. Damaged hoses can
burst or leak high pressure water and cause serious
injury. Replacement hoses and fitting should be rated at or higher than the jetter pressure.
7. Inspect and maintain the engine per the engine operator’s manual.
8. Check engine fuel level. For the KJ-3100, disconnect
the hose reel latch and rotate the hose reel forward

monoxide and other causes, and prevent jetter
damage.
1. Check work area for:
• Adequatelighting.
• Flammableliquids,vaporsordustthatmayignite.
If present, do not work in area until sources have
been identified and corrected. The jetter is not explosion proof and can cause sparks.
• Clear,level,stabledryplaceformachineandopera-
tor. If needed, remove the water from the work area.
Wood or other coverings may need to be put down.
• Jetterlocationthatisinawellventilatedoutdoor
area. Do not place the jetter indoors, even with
doors and windows open. Jetter can be located
remotely from the point of use.
• Suitablewatersupply.
• Clearpathtotransportthejettertothesetuplo-
cation.
2. Inspect the drain to be cleaned. If possible, determine the access point(s) to the drain, the size(s) and
length(s) of the drain, distance to tanks or mainlines,
the nature of the blockage, presence of drain cleaning chemicals or other chemicals, etc. If chemicals
are present in the drain, it is important to understand the specific safety measures required to work
around those chemicals. Contact the chemical manufacturer for required information.
If needed, remove fixture (water closet, etc.) to allow
access to the drain. Do not feed the hose through a
fixture. This could damage the hose and the fixture.
3. Determine the correct equipment for the application.
See the Specifications section for information on these
jetters. Drain cleaners and jetters for other applications can be found by consulting the RIDGID Catalog,
on line at www.RIDGID.com or www.RIDGID.eu .
Water Supply
Confirm that there is sufficient water flow for jetter. Run a
hose from the water source to the jetter. Use the largest diameter, shortest length hose possible. A
hose is the minimum recommended size. An appropriate
backflow prevention device should be used to comply
with all local codes and ordinances. Turn the water on at
the source and measure the time it takes to fill a clean five
gallon / 18,9 liter bucket. See the following table for maxi-
mum bucket fill times for each jetter.
Jetter Rating
GPM / liter
KJ-2200 2.4 / 9 125 seconds
KJ-3100 5.5 / 20 55 seconds
Maximum 5 Gallon / 18,9 liter
Insufficient water flow will prevent the jetter from reaching
the pressure rating and could damage the pump. Inspect the
water in the bucket for dirt and debris. Dirt and debris in the
water supply can cause excess pump wear, clog the jetter filters nozzles and reduce performance. Do not use water from
ponds, lakes or other sources that may be contaminated.
In cases of insufficient water flow, possible solutions include using fittings to allow multiple supply hoses to be
connected to the jetter or the use of a tank.
If a tank is used, plumb a tee with full port valves to the
jetter water inlet as shown in Figure 9. Connect a
19 mm hose no longer than 6 feet / 1,8 m to the valve
on the outlet of the tee, and connect the water supply
to the run of the tee. Either place the hose end in the
tank or connect to the tank outlet. The entire length
of the tank hose should be no more than 5” / 12,7 cm
above the jetter water inlet, or the jetter will not draw
water from the tank.

4. Make sure all equipment has been properly inspected.
5. Evaluate the work area and determine if any barriers are needed to keep bystanders away. Bystanders can distract the operator. If working near traffic,
erect cones or other barriers to alert drivers.
6. If needed, place protective covers in the work area.
The drain cleaning process can be messy.
7. Take the jetter to the well-ventilated outdoor work area
along the clear path. If the machine needs to be lifted,
use proper lifting techniques. Use care moving equipment up and down stairs, and be aware of possible slip
hazards. Wear appropriate footwear to help prevent
slips.

KJ-2200/KJ-3100 Water Jetting Machines
Fill the tank prior to starting the jetter. When starting
jetter, turn the tank valve off. As soon as the jetter is
started, open the tank valve. Monitor the tank water
level, and if needed, stop jetting to allow the tank to
refill. Do not allow the water level to fall below the hose
end.
Hot water can be used for improved cleaning. Do not
use water hotter than 140°F / 60°C – this can cause the
pump thermal overload to open. When using hot water, use appropriate personal protective equipment to
reduce the risk of burns.
When using in cold weather, use precautions to prevent water from freezing in the pump. This can damage the pump.
Make sure that the inlet supply valve on the jetter is
closed and attach the supply hose to the jetter.
Drain Preparation
If working through a manhole, storm grate or other
large access, use pipe and fittings to create a guide for
the jetter hose from the drain opening to operation
point. This will prevent the jetter hose from whipping
around in the access and protect the hose from damage.
1. Select a jetter hose size appropriate for the drain
being cleaned. It is not generally recommended
to connect two jetter hoses together for cleaning
drains. The connection between the two hoses is
less flexible and can prevent passage through fittings See Jetter Hose Selection Chart.
2. As needed, separate the hose reel from the mot or/
pump assembly. Locate the hose reel within 3 feet /
90 cm of the drain opening. Do not allow excessive
amounts of hose outside of the drain to prevent
hose damage. If the hose reel cannot be placed
within 3 feet / 90 cm of the drain opening, extend
the drain opening back to the hose reel with similar
sized pipe and fittings.
3. Route a hose from the jetter to the IN fitting on the
foot valve. Use teflon tape to seal the connection.
Position the foot valve for accessibility. You must be
able to control the jetter hose and the foot valve.
4. Connect the hose from the reel to the OUT fitting on
the foot valve.
Figure 10 – Extending the Drain Opening to the Operation
Point
Hose Set-Up
Use care when routing jetter hoses. Routing hoses over
rough surfaces, sharp edges, crossing hoses, etc. can
damage the hose jacket, especially when the jetter is
used in the pulse mode. Keeping the jetter hose on the
reel will help to minimize hose damage.
Out Fitting
Figure 11 – Foot Valve Connection
In Fitting
5. Mark the jetter hose near the end to indicate when
the nozzle is getting close to the drain opening
when withdrawn. This will help prevent the nozzle
from coming out of the drain and whipping around.
The distance depends on the configuration of the
drain, but should be at least 4’ / 1,2 m.
6. Remove the nozzle from the end of the jetter hose
and place the end of the jetter hose in the drain.
Open the inlet supply valve to purge the air and any
debris from the jetter and hoses. Allow water to flow
for at least 2 minutes.
7. Close the inlet supply valve.
8. Select a nozzle. Use nozzles specifically sized for the
jetter being used. Using incorrect nozzles can cause
poor performance (low operating pressure or low
flow) or may damage the jetter with excessively high
10
KJ-2200/KJ-3100 Water Jetting Machines
pressures. Make sure the nozzle orifices are clear and
open. See Jetter Nozzle Selection Chart.
If using the RR3000 nozzle for drains larger than 6” /
152 mm and up to 9” / 229 mm, the extension must
be used. For drains 6” / 152 mm and smaller, no extension is needed. If needed, firmly hand tighten the
extension to the RR3000 – do not over tighten. Using the RR3000 nozzle in a line larger than 6” and up
to 9” / 152 mm and up to 229 mm without an extension, or in lines larger than 9” / 229 mm may allow
the nozzle to change direction in the drain, exit at
the user and cause serious injury (Figure 12).
9. Firmly hand tighten the nozzle to the end of the hose –
do not over tighten. Over tightening the nozzle can
damage the nozzle and cause poor performance.

Operating Instructions
WARNING
Follow operating instructions to reduce the risk of
injury from whipping hoses, high pressure liquid
injection, carbon monoxide and other causes.
1. Make sure that machine and work area is properly
set up and that the work area is free of bystanders
and other distractions. If the jetter is located remotely from the point of use, another person should be
located at the jetter.
2. Insert the hose with nozzle attached into the drain
at least three feet so that the end of the hose will not
Always wear eye protection to protect your eyes
against dirt and other foreign objects. Always wear
appropriate personal protective equipment for the
work environment.
Never operate the jetter with the hose end outside
of the drain. Hose can whip, causing striking injuries and spray can penetrate skin and cause serious
injury.
High pressure fluid can inject under skin resulting
in serious injury, including amputation. Do not direct spray at people or animals.
Do not operate jetter above pressure rating or
140°F / 60°C (inlet water temperature). This increas-

machine is started.
3. Confirm that the pulse actuator lever is rotated
count er-clockwise in the “Pressure” position (Figure
16).
4. Open the inlet supply valve. Never start the engine
without the water supply turned ON. This can damage the pump.
5. Press the foot valve to reduce pressure and allow
the engine to start. Confirm that water flows freely
through the nozzle. Following the starting instructions supplied in the engine manual, start the engine. Allow the engine to warm up.
es the risk of injury, including burns, and damage
to the jetter.
One person must control both the jetting process
and the foot valve. Always use the foot valve. If the
jetter hose comes out of the drain, the operator
must be able to shut the water flow off to reduce the
risk of the jetter hose whipping, causing striking
and high pressure injection injuries.
Always use appropriate personal protective equipment while handling and using drain cleaning
equipment. Drain may contain chemicals, bacteria
and other substances that may be toxic, infectious,
cause burns or other issues. Appropriate personal protective equipment always includes safety
glasses and gloves, and may also include equipment such as latex or rubber gloves, face shields,
goggles, protective clothing, respirators, and steel
toed footwear.

Figure 14 – Proper Operating Position
Jetting the Drain
When jetting a drain, typically the hose is fed into the
drain the full distance to be cleaned and slowly pulled
back. This allows the high pressure water directed at
the drain walls to remove build-up.
Release the locking pin on the hose reel. With at least
three feet of hose in the drain and one hand on the
hose to control its movement, depress the foot valve.
The reverse jet thrusters on the nozzle will help pull the
hose into the drain. Feed the hose in the as far as needs
to be cleaned. If the hose stops, it has encountered
some type of obstruction.
If the nozzle cannot pass through an obstruction, such
as a change in direction (trap, turn, etc.) or a blockage.

• Useatraphoseorsmallerdiameterhose.
(see next section).
Once the nozzle is the desired distance into the drain,
slowly (1 ft / 30 cm per minute for heavy drain accumulations) pull the nozzle back through the drain. Use
one hand to control the hose and the other to wind the
hose onto the reel. Watch as the nozzle gets closer to
the drain opening that the nozzle does not come out
of the drain while water is flowing. This could allow the
hose to whip around and cause striking and high pressure fluid injuries. Always control the hose. Look for
the mark on the hose near the nozzle. Release the foot
valve to shut off the water flow.
Turn OFF the engine as directed in the engine manual,
and depress the foot valve to release the system pressure. Never leave the system pressurized. If needed,
change the nozzle and continue cleaning following the
above process. Several passes through a line are recommended for complete cleaning.
When finished, with the jetter shut off, remove the nozzle and open inlet supply valve to flush out the pump
and hose. If using the jetter in cold weather conditions,
immediately drain the water from the system to help
prevent damage from freezing. See Machine Storage
for information on freeze protecting.
Figure 15 – Rotating the Hose
Once past a blockage, take the time to clean that section of drain prior to moving forward. Move several
feet past the area of the obstruction and slowly pull the
nozzle back through the area of the obstruction. Do this
several times and then move further into the drain.
Watch the drain water level. If the water level gets too
high, you may need to turn the jetter OFF and allow
the water to drain prior to continuing. Jetting when the
line is full of water is less effective than when the line
is empty. Do not allow the jetter to run for extended
period of time with the foot valve OFF. When the foot
valve is OFF, water recirculates in the pump and cause
the water to heat up. This can cause the pump thermal
overload to open.
Using the Pulse Mode
When manipulating the hose is not enough to pass
through a direction change or obstruction, the pulse
mode should be used. The pulse mode induces large
variation in water pressure that causes the hose to vibrate, easing hose advancement.
1. Turn the pulse actuator lever clockwise to the “Pulse”
position. In pulse mode, the pressure gauge will read
less than full pressure. This is normal.
PRESSURE PULSE
Figure 16 – Pulse Actuator Lever Position

KJ-2200/KJ-3100 Water Jetting Machines
2. If needed, use sharp thrusts of the hose and hose rotation to help the nozzle through the obstruction.
3. Once through the obstruction, turn the pulse actuator lever counter-clockwise to the “Pressure”
position. Do not leave the jetter in pulse mode any
longer than needed to pass through an obstruction.
Exces sive use of the pulse feature can cause premature wear on hoses and system.
Using Water Jetter Machine as a Pressure
Washer
The RIDGID water jetting machines can also be used
as pressure washers with the addition of the pressure
wash package. Use as a pressure washer is similar to
use as a jetter, and those instructions should be used in
conjunction with the following.
1. Locate an appropriate work area.
2. Make sure all equipment has been properly inspected.
3. Attach the wash wand to the wash wand hose. Always use hose with a pressure rating at least as high
as the jetter pressure rating. Use a thread sealant to
prevent leaks.
4. Attach hose to the jetter outlet. Make sure the ends
of the hose are securely connected to prevent them
from coming off under pressure.
5. Connect an appropriate water supply, as discussed
earlier, to the jetter.
6. Open the inlet supply valve and squeeze the wash
wand trigger to allow water to flow and purge any
air from the system. Never start the engine without
the water supply turned ON. This can damage the
pump.
7. Make sure that pulse actuator lever is rotated counter-clockwise in the “Pressure” position.
8. Wash Wand Nozzle Adjustments – By rotating the
nozzle, the wash pattern can be adjusted from a
fine stream to a wide fan type spray. By pulling the
nozzle forward (low pressure) and backward (high
pressure), the pressure can be adjusted. Make sure
that the nozzle is pulled back to the high pressure
position to start operation.
9. Wash Wand Lock Out – the wash wand includes a
lock out on the back of the trigger. Flip the lock out
down to prevent the operation of the trigger when
the wash wand is not in use.
10. With the wand pointed in a safe direction, squeeze
the wash wand trigger to reduce pressure and allow
the engine to be started. Following the starting instructions supplied in the engine manual, start the
engine. Allow the engine to warm up. Release the
trigger as soon as the engine starts.
11. With the wand pointed in a safe direction, squeeze
the wash wand trigger. Turn the unloader valve
while monitoring the pressure gauge to adjust the
pressure as desired. Do not exceed the machine
pressure rating. Release the wash wand trigger.
Pressure Washer Operation
1. When using as a pressure washer use both hands to
grip and direct the wash wand for greater control.
Never direct the wash wand at people. High pressure fluid can inject under skin resulting in serious
injury. Never direct wash wand at electrical equipment or wiring to reduce the risk of electrical shock.
2. Control the flow of water with the trigger. Use care
when using the pressure washer. Holding the nozzle
too close to a surface can damage it. Test a small,
inconspicuous area to confirm the settings work as
desired.
3. Do not allow the jetter to run for extended period of
time with the trigger OFF. When the trigger is OFF,
water recirculates in the pump and it causes the
water to heat up. This can cause the pump thermal
overload to open.
4. Once pressure washing is complete, release the trigger and turn OFF the engine as directed in the engine manual. Squeeze the trigger to release system
pressure. Never leave the system pressurized.
Detergent Injector
1. If needed, attach the detergent injector to the outlet
port. Remove the output hose and attach the detergent injector with arrow on the unit pointing the
same direction as the water flow. Use thread sealant
to prevent leaks. Reattach the output hose.

2. Attach the siphon hose to the detergent injector.
Place the strainer end of hose into the detergent
container. Only use detergents designed for use with
pressure washers. Follow all detergent instructions.
Do not spray flammable liquids or toxic chemicals.
Other detergents, solvents, cleaners, etc. can damage the jetter, or cause serious injury.
15
KJ-2200/KJ-3100 Water Jetting Machines
3. When pressure washing, detergents are only dispensed when wash wand nozzle is in the low pressure position. Pull the nozzle forward to the low
pressure position to dispense detergent.
4. During operation, the detergent application rate can
be adjusted by turning the sleeve on the detergent
injector. Counter-clockwise increases the amount of
detergent, clockwise decreases.
5. When detergent application is complete, remove
the strainer from the detergent, place into a bucket
of clean water and flush the system of any detergent.
Maintenance Instructions
WARNING
Before performing any maintenance, engine switch
should be in OFF position and spark plug wires
should be disconnected to prevent inadvertent operation. Press foot valve or wand trigger to release
any fluid pressure in system.
Always wear safety glasses and gloves when performing any maintenance to help protect against
drain chemicals and bacteria.
Cleaning
The hose should be cleaned as needed with hot, soapy
water and/or disinfectants. Do not allow water to enter
the engine or electrical system. Do not clean with pressure washer. Wipe the unit down with a damp cloth.
Engine
Maintain the engine as directed in the engine operator’s manual supplied with the unit.

the oil level. If needed, add SAE 90W gear lubricant. Do
not overfill. Reinstall dipstick.
Change oil in gearbox every 500 hours of operation.
With the gearbox warm from operation, remove plug
on bottom of gearbox and drain oil into suitable container. Replace plug. Fill with approximately 8 oz /
0,2 kg of SAE 90W gear lubricant oil using the checking
procedure.
Preparing Pump for Cold Weather Storage
NOTICE
where the temperature is near or below 32°F / 0°C, the
jetter must be properly prepared. If water freezes in the
pump, it can damage it.
There are two methods for preparing the jetter for cold
weather storage. The first is to open all valves in the system and use compressed air to force any water out of
the system. This can also be used to remove water from
the hoses.
The second method uses RV antifreeze (non-ethylene
glycol antifreeze). Do not use ethylene glycol antifreeze
in the jetter pump. Ethylene glycol cannot be used in
drainage systems.
1. Attach a 3’ / 90 cm section of hose to the inlet supply
2. Place the end of the hose into the container of RV

Pump Lubrication
Check the pump oil level prior to use. Place the jetter
on a level surface. Wipe any dirt and debris from the
area of the dipstick and remove the dipstick – check
the oil level. If needed, add SAE 30W non-detergent oil.
Do not overfill. Reinstall dipstick.
Change oil in pump after first 50 hours of operation
and every 500 hours of operation after that. With the
pump warm from operation, remove plug on bottom
of pump and drain oil into suitable container. Replace
plug. Fill with approximately 32 oz / 0,9 kg of SAE 30W
non-detergent oil using the checking procedure.

Description
Les dégorgeoirs haute-pression à moteur thermique
RIDGID®sont des machines à jet dʼeau portables qui
font appel à une combinaison de pression et de flux hydraulique pour curer les conduites dʼévacuation des
matières grasses, sédiments et racines quʼelles contiennent. Leur tuyau haute-pression est propulsé le long de la
canalisation par un jet propulseur situé à lʼarrière de la
buse de curage. Lorsque le tuyau haute-pression est rapatrié, ce jet propulseur sert à laver les parois de la conduite et à évacuer les débris. Lorsquʼil est engagé, le
système de pulsation de la machine facilite la négociation
des coudes serrés et des siphons. Lʼentraînement de la
pompe à piston triplex de ces dégorgeoirs est assuré par
un moteur à essence.

AVERTISSEMENT
sion. Le port de chaussures antidérapantes à
semelles en caoutchouc peut limiter les risques
de dérapage sur les sols mouillés.
Les moteurs thermiques rejettent du monoxyde de
carbone, un gaz toxique à la fois incolore et inodore. L’inhalation du monoxyde de carbone peut
provoquer des nausées, des évanouissements et la
mort. Ne jamais démarrer ou utiliser un moteur thermique dans un local fermé, même avec les portes ou
fenêtres ouvertes. A n’utiliser qu’à l’extérieur.
Respectez les procédures suivantes visant la préparation du dégorgeoir haute-pression et du chantier
afin de limiter les risques de pénétration cutanée, de
brûlure chimique, d’infection, d’inhalation de monoxyde de carbone et autres lésions, et afin d’éviter
d’endommager le dégorgeoir lui-même.
1. Examinez le chantier pour vous assurer :
• Dʼun éclairage suffisant.
• De lʼabsence de liquides, vapeurs ou poussières
combustibles qui risqueraient de sʼenflammer. Le cas
échéant, identifiez et éliminez toutes sources de
combustible avant dʼintervenir sur le chantier. Les dégorgeoirs haute-pression ne sont pas blindés et
peuvent produire des étincelles.
• De la présence dʼun endroit dégagé, propre et sec
pour lʼinstallation de la machine et de son utilisateur.
Au besoin, asséchez la plate-forme de travail ou
rapportez-y un plancher en bois ou autre matériau.
• Dʼun emplacement à lʼextérieur et bien ventilé pour
le dégorgeoir haute-pression. Dans la mesure où le
dégorgeoir peut être installé à distance, ne jamais
lʼinstaller à lʼintérieur dʼun local, même avec les portes et le fenêtres ouvertes.
• Dʼune alimentation dʼeau adéquate.
• Dʼun passage dégagé permettant de transporter le
dégorgeoir haute-pression jusquʼau chantier.
2. Examinez la conduite dʼévacuation ciblée. Si possible,
établissez ses points dʼaccès possibles, sa ou ses section(s), sa ou ses longueur(s), la distance à parcourir
avant dʼarriver à la fosse ou à lʼégout, la composition
du blocage, la présence de produits chimiques, etc. En
présence de produits chimiques, il sera nécessaire de
contacter le fabricant des produits en question afin de
déterminer les mesures de sécurité applicables.
Afin de vous protéger contre la présence éventuelle
de produits chimiques et de bactéries, portez systématiquement des lunettes de sécurité, des gants
et tout autre équipement de protection approprié
lors de la préparation du dégorgeoir haute-pres-
Au besoin, déposez tout élément sanitaire (cuvette de
W.C., etc.) pour pouvoir accéder directement à la
conduite dʼévacuation. Ne jamais enfiler le tuyau
haute-pression du dégorgeoir via un élément sanitaire siphonné, car cela risquerait dʼendommager à la
fois le tuyau et lʼélément sanitaire.
3. Choisissez le matériel de curage le mieux adapté à
votre application en vous reportant à la section Caractéristiques techniques. Dʼautres types de dégor-
27
Dégorgeoirs haute-pression KJ-2200 et KJ-3100
geoirs mécaniques et de dégorgeoirs haute-pression
sont disponibles dans le catalogue RIDGID et sur les
sites www.RIDGID.com ou www.RIDGID.eu.
4. Assurez-vous de lʼinspection préalable appropriée
de lʼensemble du matériel.
5. Examinez les lieux afin de déterminer sʼil sera nécessaire dʼériger des barrières de sécurité afin dʼéloigner
le public. La présence dʼautres individus à proximité
risquerait de distraire lʼutilisateur. Lors des travaux
sur la voie publique, prévoyez des cônes ou des
barricades pour signaler votre présence aux automobilistes.
6. Au besoin, prévoyez des bâches ou autres moyens de
protéger les lieux contre les éclaboussures éventuelles,
car le processus de curage est souvent salissant.
7. Amenez le dégorgeoir haute-pression jusquʼà lʼemplacement extérieur prévu via le chemin dégagé prévu. Sʼil est nécessaire de soulever la machine, utilisez
les méthodes de manutention appropriées. Faites
particulièrement attention en montant et en descendant les escaliers, notamment en ce qui concerne
les risques de dérapage. Le port de chaussures antidérapantes aidera à éviter les chutes.
Alimentation d’eau
Assurez-vous que le réseau dʼalimentation utilisé dispose
dʼun débit suffisant pour le dégorgeoir haute-pression.
Amenez un tuyau dʼarrosage depuis le point dʼeau jusquʼau
dégorgeoir. Utilisez la section de tuyau la plus grosse
possible sur la plus courte distance possible. Ce tuyau devrait avoir un diamètre intérieur minimum de3/4" / 19 mm.
Prévoyez également un dispositif à clapet anti-retour approprié afin de respecter la législation en vigueur. Ouvrez
le robinet dʼeau et mesurer le temps nécessaire au remplissage dʼun sceau propre de cinq gallons / 18,9 l de capacité. Consultez le tableau suivant pour la durée de
remplissage maximale applicable à chaque modèle de
dégorgeoir.
Dégorgeoir Débit nominal Durée maxi de remplissage
haute-pression (GPM / l) d’un sceau de 5 gallons / 18,9 l
KJ-2200 2.4 / 9 125 secondes
KJ-3100 5.5 / 20 55 secondes
Un débit dʼeau insuffisant empêchera le dégorgeoir hautepression dʼatteindre sa pression nominale et pourrait endommager sa pompe. Examinez lʼeau dans le sceau. La
présence éventuelle de sédiments ou débris pourrait user
la pompe prématurément, obstruer les filtres et les buses
haute-pression, et nuire aux performances du dégorgeoir.
Ne pas utiliser dʼeau en provenance dʼétangs, de lacs ou
autres sources potentiellement contaminées.
Parmi les solutions possibles en cas de débit insuffisant se
trouvent le montage dʼun raccord multiple permettant
lʼutilisation de plusieurs tuyaux dʼamenée ou lʼemploi dʼune
citerne dʼeau.
Lors de lʼutilisation dʼune citerne à eau, effectuez son
raccordement selon le schéma ci-dessous (Figure 9) : Le
tuyau de relevage allant de la branche perpendiculaire du
Té à la citerne peut être soit plongé directement dans la
citerne ou branché sur son robinet de sortie, mais il ne doit
jamais se trouver à plus de 5" / 12,7 cm au-dessus du fil
dʼeau dʼarrivée du dégorgeoir par risque de désamorçage
de la pompe.

Figure 9 – Raccordement dʼune citerne à eau
Remplissez le réservoir avant de démarrer le dégorgeoir.
Lors du démarrage, coupez lʼarrivée dʼeau. Dès que le dégorgeoir démarre, ouvrez le robinet dʼarrivée. Contrôlez le
niveau dʼeau du réservoir et, au besoin, interrompez le
curage assez longtemps pour lui permettre de se remplir
à nouveau. Ne laissez pas le niveau dʼeau descendre
plus bas que lʼembout du tuyau.
Lʼutilisation dʼeau chaude peut améliorer le nettoyage. Ne
pas utiliser dʼeau dʼune température de plus de 140ºF /
60°C, car cela pourrait entraîner lʼouverture du clapet de
surchauffe de la pompe. Si vous utilisez de lʼeau chaude,
prévoyez les équipement de protection individuelle appropriés afin de limiter les risques de brûlure.
Par temps froid, il faut prendre les précautions nécessaires
pour éviter que lʼeau gèle dans la pompe, car cela pourrait endommager la pompe.
Assurez-vous que le robinet dʼarrivée du dégorgeoir est
fermé avant dʼy raccorder le tuyau dʼalimentation.
