SJHE-1500 & SJPE-1650 • 8.914-322.0 • REV. 11/12
Check the labels of any substance you will spray. If
the label recommends any antidote or treatment,
___ be ready to use it.
___ Check that all lines and hoses are clear.
Check that the machine is connected to an adequate
___ water supply and that the water supply is on.
Check that traffic has not made the hose weak,
worn or damaged. Check the hose for pinching or
___ kinking. Replace any damaged hose.
___ Tighten all fluid connections securely.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
 Check all hoses for wear and damage. Tighten all
connections securely.
 Check oil level of pump.
 To begin, turn the water faucet on fully and purge air
from system.
 Insert end of the jet hose 2 to 3 feet into the drain
line. Then open Jetter control valve.
WARNING: Never point the end of the jet hose at a
person while operating.
Start-Up
1. Make sure that the Jetter control valve is turned on
and water is flowing through the nozzle.
2. Plug in GFCI power cord to proper receptacle and
voltage. CAUTION: Do not use additional exten-
sion cord with machine to avoid electrical shock
to the operator.
3. Hold Jetter hose firmly to prevent it from whipping
around.
4. Turn motor switch on.
Pulse Technology
Pulsation makes the hose vibrate, helping the jet go
longer distances and around tight bends easier.
The Pulse Technology control valve is located on the
front of the pump. Simply turn the valve on to engage
the Pulse Technology.
The Pulsation causes a pressure drop when it's en-
gaged.PulseTechnologyismosteffectiveina1/8"hose.

causing the water to burst from the nozzle hundreds of
times per second.
If you are still having difficulty getting a hose around a
tight bend, switch to a smaller diameter hose.
Turn the pulse valve off before turning machine off.
Shut Down Instructions
After drain cleaning or spray washing is completed, run
clear water through the system. Always leave the control
valve in open position when turning off motor. Turn off
water supply and drain as much water from pump as
possible. Remove water supply hose from inlet. If you
are in a cold climate, see Freeze Protection.
SHR-200 Hose Reel (Optional)
Position the reel at the drain site. Connect the jet ma-
chine to the inlet on the reel. Select and attach a nozzle
to the hose on the reel. Put the hose 2 to 3 feet into the
drain. Open the ball valve on the reel. Follow the start
up procedures.
SFP Foot Pedal (Optional)
The foot pedal is used with any Jetter manufactured by
Shark
®
(see page 5 or 6). It interrupts the flow of water
between the pump and the nozzle while leaving both
hands free to guide the hose. The pump will continue to
run in by-pass mode. Do not leave pump in by-pass for
more than a few minutes or the pump can be damaged.
(See Regulating Pressure Unloader on Page 9).
The foot pedal may be hooked up either at the machine
or remotely at the drain site. To use the foot pedal at
the machine, remove the hose going to the swivel on
the hose reel and attach it to the inlet side of the foot
pedal. Then, connect the accessory hose (8.711-599.0)
between the outlet of the pedal and the swivel on the
hose reel. Some jet models may need the added length
of the accessory hose on the inlet side of the pedal.
For remote hookup, pull the hose from the hose reel to
the drain site. Attach the hose to the inlet of the pedal.

hose, use the adapter part #8.705-129.0 as well. Then
attachthesmallerhose(1/8"or1/4")totheoutletside
of the pedal. Use the smaller hose to clear the drain line.
Spray Wand (Optional)
Follow the same procedures listed previously for safety,
set-up, operation and maintenance. To operate the spray
wand, connect the high pressure hose and trigger to the
machine. Turn on the water supply, then squeeze the trig-
ger to purge air from the system. Continue to squeeze
trigger as you start the machine.
Use caution when pressure washing. Wear goggles and
rubber gloves and boots. Do not point spray at anyone
including yourself. Do not put your hand in front of water
spray. It can penetrate the skin and cause a need for
amputation. Direct spray at close range can be powerful
enough to cause damage.
