Why does nobody talk about how jetting a cutterhead wrong can wreck your whole shift

Last week in Corpus Christi I watched a guy spend 3 hours trying to clear a clog because his jet nozzles were aimed 10 degrees off. Has anyone else dealt with a rookie who swears the manual is wrong about the angle?

Yeah, being that rookie who ignores the manual is a rough way to learn a lesson.

Hey, I've been that rookie. Learned real quick manuals aren't lying.

Laughing at myself here cause I was that rookie once and wrecked a whole dredge shift.
