Safety Instructions
Figure 1
Use of any electrical equipment in a wet or damp environment can cause fatal shock if not properly
guarded against by the operator.
1. Know Your Drain Cleaning Machine. Read this Operator’s Manual carefully. Learn the operation,
applications and limitations of this machine.
2. Grounding Instructions. Before using your Spartan equipment, make sure that a properly grounded,
(three hole) electrical outlet is available. If not, as in older homes, use a three-prong adapter and
connect the green pigtail or grounding lug to a known ground, such as a (metallic) cold water
pipe.
This tool should be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electric shock. The tool is
equipped with a three-conductor cored and proper grounding type receptacle. The green (or
green and yellow) conductor in the cord is the grounding wire. Never connect this wire to a live
terminal. Units designed for use on less than 150 volts, have a plug that looks like that shown in
Fig. 1A. An adapter, (Fig. 1B and 1C), is available for connecting three-prong plugs to two-prong
receptacles, (except in Canada). If such an adapter is used, the green colored rigid ear, lug, or
the like, extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly
grounded outlet box.
This machine is equipped with a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI), which should always be
plugged directly into an inspected, grounded receptacle. Plug the three-pronged plug on the
machine power cord with GFCI directly into an inspected grounded outlet and then test and reset
the GFCI.
Never cut off the grounding prong on the power cord for use in a two-hole outlet. Doing so cuts off
your protection from shock. Replace or repair all damaged power cords and components.

Safety Instructions (cont.)
3. Extension Cords. DANGER- Improper use of an extension cord will cause death or severe injury.
The GFCI on the machine’s power cord does not protect the operator from electrical shock along
the extension cord.
If an extension cord must be used, it must be of an approved, three-wire construction, equipped
with a three-pronged plug, and in good condition. Replace or repair damaged cords.
Do not use an undersized extension cord. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage
resulting in loss of power and overheating. Use the following minimum gages depending upon
the length of the extension cord:
-16 Ga. –for cords of less than 100 feet in length
-14 Ga. –for cords of 100 feet to 150 feet in length.
If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. (The smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord.) When
the machine is used outdoors, use only extension cords intended for use outdoors and so marked.
Do not allow an extension cord to be exposed to water.
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.
4. Don’t Abuse Cord. Never move or lift tool by cord or yank it to disconnect from receptacle. Keep
cord from heat, oil and sharp edges.
5. Disconnect Power Cord. When not in use, before servicing, and when changing accessories,
such as blades and cutters.
6. Guard Against Electric Shock. Prevent body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes,
radiators, ranges, refrigerator enclosures.
7. Avoid Accidental Starting. Don’t move plugged-in tools. Make sure switch is in OFF position
before plugging in power cord.
8. Stay Alert. Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do not operate tool when you are
tired.
9. Keep Work Area Clean. Cluttered areas invite injuries.
10. Consider Work Area Environment. Don’t expose power tools to rain. Keep work area well lit.
Do not use tool in presence of flammable liquids or gases.
Avoid operating the machine in areas of standing water.

Safety Instructions (cont.)
11. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. They can be caught in moving parts.
Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
Wear standard equipment. (Spartan riveted gloves). Never grasp a rotating cable with a cloth or
loose fitting glove which would get wrapped around cable. Replace gloves if rivets or staples
start to pull out.
Wear rubber boots and wear rubber gloves inside your Spartan cable handling gloves to further
insulate yourself.
12. Use Safety Glasses. Guard against foreign material that might fly off cable.
13. Don’t Overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
14. Keep Children Away. Do not let visitors contact tool or extension cord.
All visitors should be kept away from work area.
15. Use Recommended Equipment and Accessories.
Use of improper equipment may be hazardous.
Don’t force small cable with attachment to do the job of heavy-duty cable.
16. Don’t Force Tool.
It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was intended.
17. Remove Punches and Wrenches. Form a habit of checking to see that punches and adjusting
wrenches are removed from tool before turning it on.
18. Keep Guards in Place. Never operate machine with guard removed.
19. Avoid Operating Machine in Reverse. Operating machine in reverse can result in cable damage
and is used only to back tool away from an obstruction.
Warning! Continued drum rotation in reverse position will cause cable to “jump” out of drum. Possible
operator injury could result.
20. Do Not Over Torque Cables. Excessive and/or continued rotation of the drum once an obstruction
has been encountered will over torque the cable. Kinking or breakage of cable may result. A
worn cable can be identified as being very limber, kinked or as having flattened coils on the
outside of cable. Worn cable should be replaced as soon as possible.

Safety Instructions (cont.)
21. Maintain Tools with Care. Keep tools sharp and clean for better and safer performance.
Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
Never use damaged power cords.
Inspect tool cords periodically and if damaged, repair with proper Spartan replacement parts.
Inspect extension cords periodically and replace if damaged.
Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease.
22. Check Damaged Parts. Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part that is damaged
should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended
function. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts,
mounting and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is
damaged should be properly repaired or replaced.
Replace defective switches with proper Spartan replacement parts.
Do not use tool if switch does not turn on and off.
23. Store Idle Tools. When not in use, tools should be stored in a dry and locked up place, away from
children.
24. Handling Cables. Be very careful when cleaning drains exposed to cleaning compounds. Wear
protective gloves when handling cable, and avoid direct contact of skin and especially the eyes
and facial areas as serious burns can result from some drain cleaning compounds.

Description
GENERAL DESCRIPTION. The Spartan Model 2001 Electric Sewer and Drain Cleaner is designed
for cleaning 3” to 10” sewer and drain lines up to 300’ long. The complete machine has five major
components - the frame, cable drum, power drive unit with electric controls, “Dial-A-Cable” power
feed, and removable smart-cart.
IMPORTANT FEATURES. The modular design of the Spartan 2001 has many important features
to make it easier to use and more efficient on the job. Handling the power unit and fully loaded drums
separately with the smart-cart makes it easier to transport the equipment close to the point of
operations. This system also makes it easy to quickly change drums with different cable sizes, or for
additional cable on an extended cleaning situation.
The “Dial-A-Cable” power feed gives the operator constant control over cable movement without the
physical labor of pushing the cable ahead. In difficult situations, the operator can slow or reverse the
cable movement.
The Spartan power drive motor senses the need for power when encountering a difficult blockage.
As more torque is required, the motor automatically increases amperage to deliver increased power.
An automatic brake on the motor stops rotation when the foot actuator disconnects the power.

Description (cont.)
POWER UNIT. Extra strength aluminum magnesium cast frame forms the base of the power unit.
The cable drum is supported on the frame by the distributor shaft bearing at the front and drum shaft
at the rear. The frame also supports the power cable feed assembly. The electric power unit support
at the top of the frame is spring loaded to maintain drum drive belt tension. The smart cart is attached
to the frame by a shaft inserted in the rear and held in place by the spring-loaded latch assembly.
DRUM ASSEMBLY. The drum which rotates on a shaft on the rear casting of the machine, incorporates
an integral distributor arm and front bearing. The advantage of this drum design is it can be quickly
removed from the frame and replaced by another drum loaded with additional cable or a different
size cable. The drum will accommodate two types of cable systems in a wide range of lengths. An
anchor cable is included with the drum.
