—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 neces-
sary, 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.
“California Prop. 65: This product may contain an extremely small amount of lead in the coating.
Lead is a material known to the State of California to cause cancer or reproductive toxicity.”

Unpacking
Before signing the shipping receipt, check and inspect unit for visible damage. If there is visible damage,
note so on the shipping receipt.
Description
The system is composed of a miniature closed circuit television camera and color LCD monitor
connected through flexible push type cable.
This unit operates on internal battery power, 110/220 Volt AC electrical current, or 12 Volt DC electrical
current.
WARNING: READ THE “OPERATOR’S MANUAL” THOROUGHLYBEFORE 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 Spartan PROvision 2.0, 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 Spartan PROvision 2.0 must be grounded while charging or operating using the 110V power
cord to protect the operator from electrical shock. The Spartan PROvision 2.0 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.
Safety Instructions

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 PROvision 2.0 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.
Safety Instructions (cont)

Page 8
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.
