Pump Lubrication/Maintenance

Check the pump oil level prior to each use. Place the jetter
on a level surface. Wipe any dirt and debris from the area of
the dipstick and sight-glass. Oil level should be at the mid-
dle of the sight-glass (Figure 16). If needed, remove the dip-
stick and add SAE 15W-40 Mineral non-detergent oil, fill to
half-way on the sight-glass. Do not overfill, reinstall dipstick.
Gearbox
Figure 16 – Checking Pump and Gearbox Oil Level
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 to approx-
imately half-way on the sight-glass with SAE 15W-40
Mineral non-detergent oil using the checking procedure.
Approximately 1000 ml of oil are required to change the
pump oil.
At 1000 hours of use (less in severe use conditions) the
KJ-5000 should be taken to a RIDGID Independent Service
Center for pump seal and valve service.

Gearbox Lubrication

Check the gearbox oil level prior to each use. Place the jet-
ter on a level surface. Wipe any dirt and debris from the area
of the dipstick and sight-glass (Figure 16). Oil level should
be at the middle of the sight-glass. If needed, remove the
dipstick and add SAE 85W-140 gear lubricant oil, fill to
half-way on the sight-glass. Do not overfill, reinstall dip-
stick.
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 to half-way on the sight-glass with SAE 85W-140 gear

lubricant oil. Approximately 300 ml of oil are required to
change the gearbox oil.
Preparing Pump for Cold Weather
Storage
NOTI E
the temperature is near or below 0°C, the jetter must be
properly prepared. If water freezes in the pump, it can dam-
age it.
After the tank is drained, remove the hose from the water
inlet filter. Open all valves in the system and use com-
pressed air to force any water out of the system. This can
also be used to remove water from the hoses.
