Jet Applications Areas There are a wide variety of uses for the Spartan Model 746 Water Jet. Here are just a few: — Apartments/Hotels Mains and garage drains, remove all grease and debris from main lines under the buildings. — Factories Food processing plants and foundries have frequent drain and sewer blockages.
Preparation Tool box door and engine keys are packed in a bag in the toolbox. Remove the contents. Upon receiving your machine double check the torque of all hitch bolts. (See Fig. 1.) Battery Prior to shipping, the battery cables are disconnected from the terminals of the battery. The battery cables will need to be reconnected to the battery before operating.
Towing Instructions Before hitching and towing on public roads, check that the tow vehicle uses a 2” ball on a hitch rated class II minimum, make sure keeper engages ball to secure hitch. Adjust if necessary. The following 2 rules may limit your vehicles towing capacity and the tank fill level when towed. Determine towing capacity as described below and follow guidelines in using the lowest value from the 2 rules.
Pump and Pressure System The pump and relief valve are the heart of your jet. They have been specially designed for use with water temperatures up to 140°F for pipe jetting, but can provide useful water flow for many other cleaning jobs using the optional wash down gun and special attachments.
High Pressure Water Jetting High pressure water jetting is the utilization of high pressure water combined with sufficient water flow to remove debris in drain/sewer pipes. High pressure water alone cannot do the job. You need proper flow to wash the debris downsstream where it can be collected and removed.
Water Tank Filling Fill the water tank from a clean water source. Always flush rust out of hydrants before connecting fill hose to top fill valve. Your water supply hose may remain connected for further filling by controlling water flow at fill valve. Important Note: (If the next 4 items are not followed, cavitation of the pump could occur and reduce operating efficiency and severely damage the pump.) —...

Low Water Switch Location Low Water Switch Engine Operating Procedure Start Up — Check water tank level. This water jet is equipped with a Low Water Shut-Off switch that will prevent the engine from starting at low water levels. — Check fuel level. Note: Also Check engine and pump oil levels per manufacturer specifications (attached).
Setting up for Operation Always locate the jet in the driest and safest place possible. Avoid high traffic areas and use flashers and safety cones. Position the jet so that hose can be pulled directly off of the reel for use. Remember that jetting is most effective when you jet against the water flow.
LP Gas Tank Recomendations LP (Propane) Gas Tank The model 746 LP jetter requires a vapor service propane tank. Fork truck tanks are liquid service must not be used with this unit. No propane tank is furnished with the Model 746 LP .

Lubrication & Maintenance (cont.) General Maintenance • Check entire unit daily for water, fuel, and oil leaks. • Inspect machine daily for loose or lost nuts, bolt etc. a. Clean inlet filter daily. b. Check battery electrolyte level every week or 10 hours. Fill with distilled water if needed.
Page 21
Lubrication & Maintenance (cont.) Pump Pump Oil Fill Change pump oil after first 50 hours of operation, then at regular intervals of 500 hours or less depending on operating conditions. Use SAE 90 Gear Oil. High Pressure Reel Assembly Oil rewind final drive chain every 50 hours (SAE 30 or heavier).
Do not let engine run at full throttle without load (hose reel valve OFF) for longer than 1-2 minutes. The Model 746 will pull out past 350’ but you will find the going slower because of the pressure loss from extra hose length.
Pipe Jetting Procedure Equipment: Although the Model 746 is capable of various high pressure cleaning operations, jetting pipes of 4” - 12” is typically the major work required of the jet. The hose reel is designed for outdoor applications. See sections on the mobile hose reel and 1/4”...
When Obstruction Are Encountered Fig. 7 Fig. 8 When obstruction or corners are encountered it may be necessary to manually rotate the — hose (See Fig. 7) to enable feed through that area. The rotation will cause the jetting nozzle to jump over or around those areas.
Wash Down Kit - 73817300 Note: To use wash-down gun do the following: 1 Turn reel supply valve “off” (down). 2 Connect wash-down gun hose to end of 250 ft hose. 3 Start unit and operate wash-down gun with reel supply valve “on” (up). The wash down gun is used to control the spray lance and the 1/4”...
Venturi Pump Attachment- 77763700 (Optional) How the Venturi Effect works. The venturi effect uses the venturi pumping attachment and your Spartan Jetter to create Jetter HP In. a vacuum effect to drain standing water. In Fig. 9, the black circles represent water Discharge from the jetter and the white circles represent the water to be pumped.
Engine Troubleshooting When troubles occur, be sure to check the simple causes which, at first, may seem too obvious to be considered. For example, a starting problem could be caused by an empty fuel tank. Engine Will Not Crank 1. Empty fuel tank 1.
General Troubleshooting Symptom Possible Causes Corrective Action Engine will not Run No Fuel Fill Fuel Tank Confirm electric fuel pump is working Low water level Fill water tank Check low water switch Battery is discharged charge or jump battery Low pressure or flow Clogged inlet filter Clean inlet filter element Jetter nozzle is worn...

Tire Safety Information This portion of the User’s Manual contains tire safety information as required by 49 CFR 575.6. The National Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has published a brochure (DOT HS 809 361) that discusses all aspects of Tire Safety, as required by CFR 575.6. It can be obtained and downloaded from NHTSA, free of charge, from the following web site: http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/rules/TireSafety/ridesonit/tires_index.html Tire Safety Terminology Glossary...

If they appear even with the outside of the tread, the tire should be replaced. Replacement tires should be the same size as the original tires. To prevent error and maintain safety, it is recommended that all replacement parts be purchased through Spartan Tool LLC. Page 71...

Tire Safety Information Tire Balance and Wheel Alignment Tires must be properly balanced to avoid vibrations and shaking of the trailer. A wheel alignment adjusts the angles of the wheels to position them correctly relative to the trailer’s frame. Such adjustments can maximize the life of the tires, but should be performed by a qualified technician.
If you believe that your vehicle has a defect that could cause a crash or could cause injury or death, you should immediately inform the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in addition to notifying Spartan Tool LLC. If NHTSA receives similar complaints, it may open an investigation, and if it finds that a safety defect exists in a group of vehicles, it may order a recall and remedy campaign.
Spartan Tool will direct where to take or send the equipment for service. If the defect is covered by the warranty, Spartan Tool will repair or replace, at its option, the defective equipment, without charge for labor or materials. (Freight and insurance are the purchaser’s responsibility.)
