Jet Applications Areas There are a wide variety of uses for the Spartan Model 740 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.
Uncrating and Prep If you received your machine crated, position crate so that your truck can be backed up to “front” side. Now remove end of crate marked “front”. Remove hitch assembly from under machine. Connect and tape wire plugs and attach hitch to frame with bowmalloy bolts provided. These bolts must be torqued to 74 ft.-lbs.
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.
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.
Power Rewind Operating Instructions To Rewind Hose on Reel — Release reel lock. — Move rewind engagement handle to “engage” position. — Turn power switch “on”. — Use panel mounted push button or air foot switch to energize rewind motor. Note: Turn power switch “OFF”...

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 67...

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.)
