Jet Applications Areas There are a wide variety of uses for the Spartan Model 738 Water Jet . Here are just a few: • Apartments/Hotels Mains and garage drains, remove all grease and debris from main lines under the buildings .
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 . The positive displacement pump (each crankshaft revolution has to move a certain amount of water) uses 3 plungers (similar to pistons in an engine) to create water flow .
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) . The hose reel valve may generally be placed on the ON (up) position during starting .
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 .
• The Model 738 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 738 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 .

Lubrication & 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 .
Fuel & Oil 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 .
Optional Accessories WASH DOWN GUN To use the wash-down gun, do the following: Turn off by-pass valve (down) . Connect wash-down gun hose to end of 250 ft . hose . Start unit and operate wash-down gun with hose reel valve in on (up) position . The wash down gun is used to control the spray lance .
Optional Accessories VENTURI PUMP - How the Venturi Effect works: The venturi effect uses the venturi pumping attachment and your Spartan Jetter to create a vacuum effect to drain standing water . In Fig . 9, the black circles represent water from the jetter and the white circles represent the water to be pumped .
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 • Connect air hose to blow out fitting located near the pump to purge air from the entire system . METHOD 2 •...
