SCORPION G2 MANUAL - WATER JETTER/DRAIN CLEANER
14
Hose Reel Brake Adjustment
The reels are equipped with an adjustable brake to
prevent the hose from playing off the reel under its own
weight. Tightening wingnut increases the drag on the reel,
loosening decreases the drag. Adjust as desired. The brake
only works in one direction (to resist hose moving off reel)
(Figure 15).
Transportation and Storage
1. Turn off the fuel valve and the battery isolation switch.
2. Drain water from Jetter as needed.
3. Coil hoses and secure equipment appropriately. All
loose material must be removed. Transport remote reel
separate from jetter.
4. Jetter is equipped with wheels to allow transport over
smooth level surfaces.
5. Jetter weighs 195kg (approx.) Use appropriate
equipment and methods to load and transport. Use
all four points supplied at the top corners of the
frame (Figure 6) when lifting. Use rigging with current
certifications per the manufacturer’s instructions.
