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 bench-
es and dark areas invite accidents.
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 mo ment of inat-
tention while operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jew-
elry. 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 operate power tools in explosive atmo-
spheres, such as in the presence of flam mable 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 electrical shock if your body is
grounded.
2
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. This enables better control of the tool in
unexpected situations.
• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.
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 is designed.
• Do not use the power tool if the switch does not

K
turn it ON and OFF. Any power tool that cannot be
ontrolled with the switch is dangerous and must be
c
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 qualified
repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed
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.
creases the risk of injury, including burns, and damage
o the jetter.
t
• One person must control the jetting process and
ater flow. If the jetter hose comes out of the drain, the
w
operator must be able to shut off the water flow to
reduce the risk of the jetter hose whipping, causing
striking and high pressure injection injuries.
• Always use appropriate personal protective equip-
ment while handling and using drain cleaning
equip ment. Drain may contain chemicals, bacteria
and other substances that may be toxic, infectious,
cause burns or other issues. Appropriate personal
protective equipment (PPE) includes safety glasses
and gloves, and may also include equipment such as
latex or rubber gloves, face shields, goggles, protective
clothing, respirators, head protection, hearing protection
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 han-
dling 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.

Read these precautions carefully before using this
Drain Cleaning Machine to re duce the risk of electrical shock or other serious injury.
SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS
FOR FUTURE REFERENCE!
Keep this manual with machine for use by the operator.

• High pressure water can inject under skin resulting
in serious injury including amputation. Do not
direct spray at people or animals.
• Do not operate jetter above the 5075 psi pressure
rating or 60°C (inlet water temperature). This in -
• Engines produce carbon monoxide, a colorless,
odorless poison gas. Breathing carbon monoxide can cause nausea, fainting or death. Do not start
and run engine in an enclosed area, even if doors
and windows are open. Only operate outside.
• Hot surfaces can cause burns and fire. Keep body
parts and flammable material away from hot surfaces.
• Read and understand this manual, the engine

Description
The RIDGID®KJ-5000 Engine Powered Water Jetting
Machine is a portable high pressure water jetter 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 pipe by the reverse jets on the jetter nozzle, and
when retrieved scrubs the line flushing debris away. The
KJ-5000 Water Jetter equipped with a gasoline engine to
drive the triplex plunger pump. A 36 liter water tank with
low water level shut-off allows operation with low water
supply flow rates.
