0620A Roto-Jet  I

OPERATION (CONT.)

Prepare the flexshaft by loosening the four (4) set screws located in the brass locking sleeve using 
a 3/32” Allen wrench.  Thread the breakaway or solid square drive into the coupling adapter that 
is swaged on the core of the flexshaft.  Position the brass locking sleeve equally over the coupling 
adapter and the breakaway or solid square drive.  Firmly tighten the four (4) Allen set screws.  (See 
Diagram B page 9)

Insert the square drive into the manifold of the machine.  Rotate the flexshaft by hand to properly seat 
the square drive of the flexshaft into the manifold.  Thread the brass manifold cap onto the manifold of 
the machine and firmly hand tighten.

Attach the chosen cleaning device to the tool coupling swaged to the core of the flexshaft at the 
opposite end from the manifold connection and firmly tighten the device.

Plug the machine into the appropriate electrical source.  For more information see “Electrical” section.

Turn on the water supply.

Layout the flexshaft as straight as possible.  DO NOT start the machine with the flexshaft in a coiled 
position.

Depress the foot switch.  The electric motor will operate and drive the flexshaft, which will rotate 
the cleaning device.  At the same time, water will pass through the machine and out the end of the 
flexshaft casing near the cleaning device.  Remove your foot from the foot switch and both the water 
and rotation of the shaft will stop.  Restart the machine and observe the water output from the end of 
the flexshaft casing.  A constant stream of water should be discharged from the casing as the core 
rotates.  If no water is discharged from the flexshaft, check the hose and hose connection for any 
“kinks” that would restrict water flow.  If there is no rotation of the flexshaft, check the Ground Fault 
Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) reset button.  For more information see “Electrical” section.  Depress the foot 
switch again and observe the water flow from the end of the flexshaft.  If no water is discharged, from 
the flexshafting, discontinue use of the machine and contact an Elliott service facility.

For model 0620AR, let machine completely stop rotation before depressing the reversing peddle.  
Reverse rotation and water flow will begin when the reverse peddle is depressed and will stop when 
released.

TOOL TIP

For model 0620AR machines, to prevent the cleaning device from unthreading 
when using the reverse mode of the machine, place a 1/4” lock washer 
between the tool coupling and the cleaning device and firmly tighten the 
connection.
