Jet Applications Areas There are a wide variety of uses for the Spartan Model 758 Water Jet . Here are just a few: • Apartments/Hotels Mains and garage drains, remove all grease and debris from main lines under the buildings .
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 . Because of the inherent water tank sloshing when towing, pull your jet empty at all times . The following 2 rules may limit your vehicles towing capacity and the tank fill level when towed .
Towing Instructions The coupler will need to be adjusted up or down depending on vehicle hitch height to ensure the jetter is towed level . TOWING Check that ball size is same as coupler . Check that Ball Load Rating is the same or greater than Coupler Load Rating Safety Chains Open clamp on hitch coupler .
Pump and Pressure System The pump and relief valve are the heart of your jet . They have been specifically designed for use with cold water (140°F max) 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 jetting alone cannot do the job . You need proper flow to wash debris downstream where it can be collected and removed .
Engine Operation 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) . Turn high pressure reel supply valve “off”...
Operation Set Up 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 the hose can be pulled directly off of the reel for use . Remember that jetting is most effective when you jet against the water flow . See Fig .
Power Rewind Operating Instructions TO REWIND HOSE ON REEL • Release reel lock . • Use panel mounted push button switch to energize rewind motor . NOTE: Avoid pushbutton switch when rewind is not in use to avoid accidently activating rewind . Reel Supply Pressure Gauge Valve...
Pulsation Pulsation is activated when control knob is turned “in” (see activating pulsator procedure below) . As control knob is turned in, the pulsator stem will force the inlet valve plate open, compressing the valve spring . With inlet valve held open, center plunger cannot develop pressurized flow .
Lubrication & Maintenance Engine Oil Level Check Air Cleaner Oil Fill See Periodic Maintenance Chart below . For fuel, oil, and coolant recommendations see page 21 . See Engine Owner’s Manual for additional information .
Page 19
Lubrication and Maintenance General Maintenance • Check entire unit daily for water, fuel, and oil leaks . • Inspect machine daily for loose or lost nuts, bolts, etc . Clean inlet filter daily . Check battery electrolyte level every week or 10 hours . Fill with distilled water if needed .

Lubrication and Maintenance Pump Oil Rewind Drive Chain every 50 hours (SAE 30 or Heavier) .
Fuel, Oil, & Coolant Recommendations FUEL Use only clean, fresh, unleaded regular grade gasoline . CAUTION: Do not mix oil with gasoline . Octane Rating The octane rating of a gasoline is a measure of its resistance to “knocking” . Use a minimum of 87 octane of the antiknock is recommended .
• The Model 758 will put out past 250’ feet but you will find the going slower due to the pressure loss from the extra hose length . Unless longer operation is common, we recommend the hose extensions be added only when needed . If moving the jet before the job is done, the hose can be disconnected from the jet to avoid pulling hose completely out of the pipe and restarting .
• The Model 758 nozzles are designed to match the pressure and flow performance of your jet . They are key to efficient operation because they convert all of the engine and pump power to water speed for hose pull and for cleaning impact .
Operating Instructions ENCOUNTERING OBSTRUCTIONS • When obstruction or corners are encountered it may be necessary to manually rotate the hose (See Fig . 8) to enable feed through that area . The rotation will cause the jetting nozzle to jump over or around those areas . When it becomes necessary to manually rotate the hose to clear obstructions, any rotations in one directon must be followed by an equal number in the opposite direction to prevent kinks from building in the hose .
Optional Accessories 1/4” DRAIN HOSE The 1/4” hose and nozzle may be used to clean smaller dameter lines . Attach the 1/4” hose to the forward end of the wash down gun as described above . Use the 1/4” drain hose on lines 2”-4” similar to the reel hose . Again, use care not to discharge water unless the hose is in the pipe . On inside lines, use short bursts of the gun ot limit water backup .
Cold Weather Protection Winterize machine when stored below 32° F . Your machine can also be protected from freezing by using non alcohol based anti-freeze as follows: METHOD 1 • Use pressurized air to blow out any remaining water left inside pump and hose by using the air blow-out feature (see page 12) . METHOD 2 •...
Troubleshooting PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSES CORRECTIVE ACTION Worn packng seals . Replace packng seals . Broken valve spring . Replace spring . Belt slippage . Tighten or Replace belt . Worn or Damaged nozzle . Replace nozzle . Fouled discharge valve . Clean valve assembly .

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 warrants its equipment to be free from defects in material and workmanship for two years from the date of purchase . To obtain warranty service, a purchaser should notify Spartan Tool in writing, at the address provided below, within the warranty period, and Spartan Tool will direct where to take or send the equipment for service .
