life. Dispose of any battery products in accordance to local regulations.
INTENDED USE
The TrapJumper system was designed to examine pipework and record/report its findings. We at Spartan Tool, LLC hold no
responsibility for further use that is not considered as intended. Do not use the TrapJumper for other purposes. The system cannot be
used in pipelines with potentially explosive atmospheres or medium. Only specifically manufactured equipment maked with the
identification icon, can be used for this purpose.
LABELING
The TrapJumper components are clearly labeled. The label includes model number, serial number, and all certifications. You may require
this information when talking to Spartan Tool, LLC Customer Service, as these can be used when ordering accessories or spare parts for
your product.

Safety Instructions
ABOUT YOUR PRODUCT
The TrapJumper system was designed and manufactured as a pipeline inspection camera. All components are manufactured from high
grade materials. A system consists of a control box, color camera, and a push rod reel.
The TrapJumper is designed to survey pipes and sewers up to 40m in length. With a pressure-sealed camera allowing the camera to
be submerged up to 5m deep. The control box allows users to view and record the image, measure and document your findings to an
on-board storage device, overlay text via a keyboard and write a report onsite using the on-board reporting software. All data can be
exported via USB, SD card, wifi or ethernet interfaces.
WARNINGS, RISKS, SAFETY MEASURES, AND CARE
To reduce the risk of injury, all operators and maintenance personnel must read and understand the user manual before operating,
changing accessories, or performing maintenance on this camera equipment. Understanding these instructions will reduce the
risk of injury and damage to equipment and property. Care must be exercised by everyone using, maintaining, or working near this
equipment. They serve for your own safety as well as your coworkers.
BEFORE OPERATION
Risk of harm occurring must be considered before operating the equipment, as these can cause severe or fatal injuries. Please consider
the following:
CAUTION
1. Risk of Explosion!
Explosive atmospheres can be caused by flammable gases, mists or vapors, or by combustible dusts. If there is enough of the
substance, mixed with air, then all it needs is a source of ignition to cause an explosion. Never use a Spartan Tool inspection system
in pipelines that may contain these substances. In order to survey such conditions, contact Spartan Tool, LLC to obtain information
and equipment designed for such circumstances.
2. Environmental Risk!
Cross contamination and risk of infection: Contamination of drinking water sources by sewage can occur when waste water
inspection systems are used in fresh water pipelines. If sewage contaminates drinking water sources, harmful bacterial can cause
disease from the ingestion of micro-organisms such as E-Colia, Giardia, Cryptospordium, Hepatitis A, and Helminths.
Never use an inspection system alternately between waste water and fresh water surveys. Cleaning your inspection system is not
sufficient. Always use a separate unit dedicated for that particular environment.
Risk of infection and illnesses are not uncommon. Although mild cases of gastroenteritis and potentially fatal diseases, such as
leptospirosis (Weil's disease) and hepatitis do pose a serious risk.
To reduce the chances of contracting these diseases when surveying sewage pipelines ensure that employees and line
management understand the risks through proper instruction, training and supervision.
Provide suitable personal protective equipment, which may include waterproof/abrasion resistant gloves, footwear, eye and
respiratory protection. Face visors are particularly effective against splashes. Speaking to your doctor for preventative injections and
advice is recommended.

Safety Instructions
3. Electric Shock
Risk of death by electric current.
• Check the connector cable and push rod for damage, such as kinks or crushed areas. If damage has occurred, disconnect the
power supply immediately. Safeguard the socket against renewed connection and inform Spartan Tool, LLC Customer Service
Team or an authorized repair center.
• Ensure no liquid can enter the control box. Fit all rubber blanking bungs and check connector facia rubber flap is closed tight
when operating in the rain. When survey is finished, wipe the rubber keypad dry and leave the lid open in a warm environment
to allow any condensation to evaporate. Should any water penetrate the box, do not connect the power cords and inform
Spartan immediately.
• All work on the electrical system can only be carried out by Spartan Tool, LLC or authorized repair centers. If any work exceeds
the tasks described in the Maintenance chapter, please contact Spartan Tool, LLC for assistance.
4. General Precautions/Risks
