—Read the safety and operating instructions before using any Spartan Tool products.
Drain and sewer cleaning can be dangerous if proper procedures are not followed and appropri-
ate safety gear is not utilized.
—Before starting unit, be sure to wear personal protective equipment such as safety
goggles or face shield and protective clothing such as gloves, coveralls or raincoat, rubber boots
with metatarsal guards, and hearing protection.
—Drains and sewer can carry bacteria and other infectious micro-organisms or
materials which can cause death or severe illness. Avoid exposing eyes, nose, mouth, ears, hands
and cuts and abrasions to waste water or other potentially infectious materials during drain and
sewer cleaning operations. To further help protect against exposure to infectious materials, wash
hands, arms and other areas of the body, as needed, with hot, soapy water and, if necessary, flush
mucous membranes with water. Also, disinfect potentially contaminated equipment by washing
such surfaces with a hot soapy wash using a strong detergent.
—For any questions contact the company at the address shown below.

WARNING: READ THE “OPERATOR’S MANUAL” THOROUGHLY BEFORE USING ANY SPARTAN TOOL
PRODUCT. DRAIN/SEWER CLEANING CAN BE DANGEROUS IF PROPER PROCEDURES ARE NOT
FOLLOWED. KNOW THE PROPER OPERATION, CORRECT APPLICATIONS AND THE LIMITATIONS OF
ALL SPARTAN TOOL PRODUCTS BEFORE USE.
CAUTION #1
Use of any electrical equipment in a wet environment can cause fatal shock if equipment is
not properly grounded, adequately maintained, and if care is not used by the operator.
A. GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS —
Before charging your SparVision 200, make sure a properly grounded, three hole electrical outlet
is available. If not, as in some older homes, use a three-prong adapter and connect the green
pigtail (or grounding lug) to a known ground such as a cold water pipe. Never cut off the grounding
prong for use in a two hole outlet receptacle. By doing so, you have cut off your protection from
shock.
The SparVision 200 must be grounded while charging or operating using the 110V power cord to
protect the operator from electrical shock. The SparVision 200 comes with a three-conductor cord
and three-prong grounding type plug to fit the properly grounded receptacle. An adapter, see
sketches (B) and (C), is available for connecting, sketch (A) type plugs, to a two-prong receptacle,
except in Canada.

Page 7
The green-colored rigid ear (or lug), extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent
ground such as a properly grounded outlet box.
Don’t assume that all three-hole outlets are properly installed. Check the outlet and
also the adapter, if used, with an outlet testing device which quickly indicates if a ground is
connected. Correct a faulty test indication before proceeding. The use of a Ground Fault Interrupter
is the safest means to check for proper grounding.
B. EXTENSION CORDS —
Plug the power cord attached to the SparVision 200 directly into an inspected outlet. If an extension
cord must be used, it must be of an approved three-wire type in good condition, equipped with a
three-prong plug. Never cut off the grounding prong for use in a two hole outlet receptacle. By
doing so you have cut off your protection from shock.
C. OUTDOOR EXTENSION CORDS —
When Spartan Tool equipment is used outdoors, use an extension cord intended for use outdoors
and so marked.
D. AVOID ELECTRICAL CORD ABUSE —
Never move or lift Spartan Tool equipment by the cord. Do not yank cord at one end to disconnect
it from the receptacle. Keep cord away from heat, oil and sharp edges to avoid damage. Always
replace or repair damaged cords.
E. ALWAYS WEAR RUBBER BOOTS IN WET AREAS FOR ADDED PROTECTION
WARNING: SPARTAN TOOL PRODUCTS ARE NEVER TO BE OPERATED IN AN EXPLOSIVE
ENVIRONMENT.
CAUTION #2
Avoid eye or skin contact with acids or caustic substances while inspecting drains/sewers.
A. Always wear safety goggles when inspecting drain/sewers to avoid injury to eyes.

B. Before beginning work, ask the customer if either acids or caustic substances are present in the
pipe. If in doubt, litmus paper used at the opening of the pipe may give an indication of the type of
substance in the line. Litmus paper (acids/caustics) can be purchased at most pharmacies.
C. Exposure to acids or caustic substances can cause the push cable to break or to become brittle.
Depending upon the concentration of acids or caustic substances in the drain/sewer, push cables
may break or become brittle in the drum, in the pipe, or when placing the cable back into the
drum. If the push cable remains exposed to acids or caustic substances for any length of time, the
cable can continue to be damaged.
CAUTION #3
Drains/sewers carry bacteria and the possibility of infectious disease exists, if exposed.
A. Always wear safety goggles and Spartan Tool riveted gloves with rubber gloves inside the riveted
gloves to minimize exposure to infection from bacteria in pipes.
B. Avoid contact with ears, eyes, or mouth with contents of pipe to lower the risk of infection. DO
NOT SMOKE!
C. Avoid exposing any cuts to drains/sewers and sewer inspecting equipment
CAUTION #4
Follow all rules of safety and good housekeeping.
A. Keep work area clean.
B. Stay alert.
C. Place the unit and controls in a stable and accessible position for safe operation.
D. Properly store the tools.
E. Keep children away from all equipment.
F. Use only recommended equipment and accessories. Maintain tools in original working condition.
G. Do not exceed limitation of equipment or accessories.
H. Always wear recommended safety gear
I. Always lift with legs and not your back.

-If you get stuck in a line, try to rotate the push-cable by hand first clockwise then counter-clockwise.
-The use of a lubricating agent on the push-cable itself can often increase the distance you are able
to push the unit. Be certain to abide by all regulations regarding the use of oils (such as vegetable
or mineral oils) or other lubricating additives down drain lines. Also, if a lubricating agent is being
used, be sure to clean push-cable before it is loaded back into the system.
-Consider using a water repellant (such as Rain-X®) on the camera lens if you are experiencing
fogging or water spotting on the camera lens in wet lines.
-If glare appears in the pipe, reduce the light intensity.

BATTERY OPERATION
The system
is designed to operate using internal battery power or 110 /220 V AC (household current).
A fully charged battery will last approximately 4 hours.
To check battery life, choose the “Systems Options” button on the main screen. The battery gauge will
display in the lower left hand corner.
If the battery reaches a low battery state (yellow gauge color), a low battery indicator will flash on the
screen. At this point, the system should be plugged into a power source. Once the battery reaches a
critically low power level, a red flashing display will come on the screen. At this point the system will
shut down due to power failure. Again, plug in the unit as soon as possible to avoid data loss.
IMPORTANT NOTE! When the low battery warning appears, end any video recording immediately.
If the power is lost during a recording session, the video file will be un-readable and can not
be recovered.
BATTERY CHARGING
110 / 220 VAC – To charge the internal battery using a 110 / 220 V power source you will need
to uncoil the AC power cord and plug the end into a AC electrical outlet. To check the charging
status, turn on the unit and choose the “Systems Options” button on the main screen. Check
the battery indicator in the lower lefthand corner. Once the batteries are fully charged, the
battery charger will automatically switch to trickle charge.
Battery Recharge Time: Approximately 4-6 hours. The unit may be left off during charging.

The SparVision 200 is designed for easy maintenance and trouble free operation. Regular maintenance
will prolong the life of the product. Follow these simple procedures:
tDo not store outdoors and do not allow the unit to sit for extended periods in a hot environment
such as a truck or automobile in bright sunlight.
tNever operate in standing water.
tAfter each inspection, always wash camera head,flex-link, and push-cable.
tThe connectors may accumulate dirt on the pins with prolonged system use. Use a cotton swab
impregnated in a drop of standard alcohol to clean them. Normally a clean pin inserted in the
receptacle will wipe the internal contact and make a good connection. If this does not suffice, a
drop of alcohol can be inserted in the bad contact hole to clean it.
tKeep all connector threads clean to ensure proper tightness and mechanical connection.
tInspect the clean push-cable for damage such as peel off, deep scratches, cracks, kinks, or any
other signs of failure.
Caution: Never use a damaged push-cable even if the system appears to function properly.
Even the smallest drop of water that penetrates will eventually corrode the wires and
produce shorts and malfunctions. Do not use electrical or other type of tape to cover a
crack or tear in any push-cable of this system.
tWipe the camera lens cover clean with soft cloth. The cover is constructed of special scratch-
resistant, high-impact sapphire, and provides maximum transparency under adverse inspection
environment conditions.
Monitor position holding force is adjusted by
tightening/loosening of hinge crews.
