SCORPION G2 MANUAL - WATER JETTER/DRAIN CLEANER
Change oil in pump after first 50 hours of operation and
every 500 hours of operation after that. With the pump
warm from operation, remove plug on bottom of pump
and drain oil into suitable container. Replace plug. Fill to
approximately half-way on the sight-glass with SAE 15W-
40 Mineral non-detergent oil using the checking procedure.
Approximately 1000 ml of oil are required to change the
pump oil.
At 1000 hours of use (less in severe use conditions) the
Scorpion G2 should be taken to a Jetwave Independent
Service Center for pump seal and valve service.
Gearbox Lubrication
Check the gearbox oil level prior to each use. Place the
jetter on a level surface. Wipe any dirt and debris from
the area of the dipstick and sight-glass (Figure 16). Oil
level should be at the middle of the sight-glass. If needed,
remove the dipstick and add SAE 85W-140 gear lubricant
oil, fill to half-way on the sight-glass. Do not overfill, reinstall
dipstick.
Change oil in gearbox every 500 hours of operation. With
the gearbox warm from operation, remove plug on bottom
of gearbox and drain oil into suitable container. Replace
plug. Fill to half-way on the sight-glass with SAE 85W-140
gear lubricant oil. Approximately 300 ml of oil are required
to change the gearbox oil.
Preparing Pump for Cold Weather Storage
If the jetter will be stored under conditions where the
temperature is near or below 0°C, the jetter must be
properly prepared. If water freezes in the pump, it can
damage it.
After the tank is drained, remove the hose from the
water inlet filter. Open all valves in the system and use
compressed air to force any water out of the system. This
can also be used to remove water from the hoses.
Machine Storage
Store the jetter in a well ventilated area protected from rain
and snow. Keep the machine in a locked area that is out
of reach of children and people unfamiliar with Jetters. This
machine can cause serious injury in the hands of untrained
users. See Maintenance section for information on cold
weather storage. See engine operator’s manual for specific
information on engine storage.
