Warnings
• Read the safety and operating instructions before using any Spartan Tool product. Drain and sewer cleaning can be dangerous if
proper procedures are not followed and appropriate 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.
• Ensure the jet hose has been placed in the pipe (3 feet suggested) before engaging the water pressure to prevent the hose from
coming out of the pipe prematurely and causing injury.
• Always shut off the water pressure before pulling the hose out of the pipe. Mark the hose a minimum of 3 feet from the end to help
ensure the hose is not accidentally pulled out of the pipe while still under pressure. Shut off the water pressure when the hose mark
is encountered.
• 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 with appropriate soaps or disinfectant chemicals where appropriate.
• For any questions, contact Spartan Tool at the address shown below.

High Pressure Water Jetting
High pressure water jetting is the utilization of high pressure water combined with sufficient water flow to remove debris in drain/sewer
pipes. High pressure water jetting can also be used to remove debris on surfaces.
A high pressure water jet consists of a pump, a motor or engine, a length of high pressure hose, and a various assortment of nozzles.
A pipe is cleaned with a high pressure water jet by directing water pressure and flow through a nozzle. Controlled water pressure and
flow propels a water jet through the sewer pipe, allowing it to remove and wash away the obstruction (see Fig. 1).
Ideally, a sewer pipe is cleaned from the lower end of the pipe and the hose propels itself to the higher end of the pipe. By slowly
withdrawing the jet hose, the water pressure and flow cleans the line most effectively. When it is impossible to clean from the lower end
of the pipe, the pipe must be water jetted several times to remove all the debris. A skilled operator can effectively clean a drain/sewer
regardless of the obstacles in the way.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
Before using your Spartan Tool equipment, make sure a properly grounded, three-hole 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. A three-
prong adapter with grounding lug can be purchased from any hardware store. 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.
Spartan Tool equipment must be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electrical shock. Spartan Tool equipment comes
with a three-conductor cord and a three-prong grounding-type plug to fit the properly grounded receptacle. The green (or green and
yellow) conductor in the cord is the grounding wire. Never connect the green (or green and yellow) wire to a live terminal. Your unit
is for use on 120V, it has a plug that looks like that shown in Fig. A. An adapter (see Fig. 2 and 3) is available for connecting Fig. A type
plugs to a two-prong receptacle, except in Canada.
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.
Safety Procedures
WARNING Read the Product Manual thoroughly before using a Spartan Tool product. Drain/
sewer cleaning can be dangerous if proper procedures are not followed. Know the proper
operation, correct applications, and limitations of all Spartan Tool products before use.
CAUTION Use of any electrical equipment in a wet environmnet can cause fatal shock if
equipment is not properly grounded, adequately maintained, and if care is not used by the
operator.
Don't assume that all 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 Spartan Cadet is equipped with a ground fault interrupter (GFI) to help guard against shock in a damp environment.
Extension cords that are 25' or shorter and minimum 12ga. can be used with the Cadet.

8
Safety Procedures
CAUTION Always locate drain/sewer cleaning machine as close as possible to opening of pipe.
Do not locate machine more than 3 feet from the opening of the pipe.
CAUTION Avoid eye or skin contact with acids or caustic substances while cleaning drains
and sewers.
Always wear safety goggles and rubber gauntlet-style gloves when cleaning drains/sewers to avoid injury.
Before beginning work, ask the customer if acids or caustic substances are present in the pipe and take appropriate action to safeguard
yourself, the equipment, and your customer's property. 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.
CAUTION Drains/sewers carry bacteria and the possibility of infectious disease exists, if exposed.
Always wear safety goggles and rubber gloves.
Avoid contact with ears, eyes, or mouth with contents of pipe to lower the risk of infection.
Due to possibility of contact with contamination and explosive sewer gases, do not smoke when operating the Cadet
Avoid exposing any cuts to drains/sewers and sewer cleaning equipment.
FOLLOW ALL RULES OF SAFETY AND GOOD HOUSEKEEPING.
• Keep work area clean.
• Keep all safety guards in place.
• Stay alert.
• Place machine and controls in stable and
accessible position for safe operation.
• Properly store the tools.
• Keep children away from all equipment.
• Use only recommended equipment and
accessories. Maintain tools in original working
condition.
• Do not wear loose-fitting clothes.
• Do not exceed limitations of equipment and
accessories.
• Avoid accidental starting by unplugging

Operating Instructions
1. Make sure the Pre-Operation Checklist has been followed before operating the Cadet.
2. Position the Cadet close to the pipe opening and electrical outlet.
3. Unspool the HP hose and push at least 3 feet of hose into the pipe.
WARNING A minimum of 15 Amps must be available on the electrical circuit at all times for the
Cadet to function properly.
CAUTION: 15 AMP CIRCUIT - MAX PRESSURE 1,500 PSI
FIG. 3
4. Connect one end of the supply hose to the clean water and the other end of the hose to the water inlet connection (see Fig. 3).
5. Turn on the water faucet.
6. Prime the system by turning on the water inlet valve (see Fig. 4). Open the throttle valve fully (counter clockwise) and allow the
water to flow until the air is purged from the system.
7. Push the power switch ON, briefly, to finish flooding the water circuit. Push the power switch off and close the water inlet valve.
8. Attach the desired nozzle, then allow the water jet hose to enter the pipe a few feet by holding the hose and pushing it into the
pipe.
FIG. 4
CAUTION Vibration while operating the Cadet is normal. Protect the high pressure hose from
sharp edges and protect property from damge due to contact with the high pressure hose.

11
Operating Instructions
9. Dial the throttle valve all the way closed (against the arrows on
the knob) and open the throttle valve, again, 1 to 2 full turns
before energizing the equipment and setting the pressure.
10. The Cadet will operate up to 1,500 PSI with supplied open
nozzle (70700670) and 700 PSI with the supplied closed nozzle
(72705400). If the machine is operating at a lower pressure, the
throttle valve knob can be turned in the open direction (following
the arrows on the knob) to increase the pressure. The operating
pressure is shown on the pressure gauge (see Fig. 5).
11. Open the inlet water valve. Energize the equipment with the
power switch and set your working pressure. See Chart 1 for
pressures and run times.
» Use the lowest pressure whenever possible.
» For every continuous cycle, allow the jetter to cool for a
minimum of 15 minutes.
FIG. 5
FIG. 6
12. While working, always pull the water jet hose back one half
the distance advanced. The actual cleaning of the pipe takes
place when the hose is pulled back toward the operator.
Pulling the water jet hose backwards also ensures that the
hose is not caught in the pipe or has not exited the pipe.
13. If the water jet hose fails to advance, it may be necessary to
pull off additional hose and twist the hose in a corkscrew-like
manner (see Fig. 6).
14. In those rare instances where backflow is created, a bilge
pump may be used (see Fig. 7).
15. When the pipe cleaning operation is complete, the Cadet
must be shut down in the following sequence to avoid
problems:
a. Turn off the motor switch
b. Turn off the water faucet
c. Close the water inlet valve
d. Unplug the electrical outlet
e. Disconnect the garden hose
f. Retrieve the HP hose

Preventative Maintenance &
Troubleshooting
1. Cold Weather Protection: To avoid damage to the pump and water jet hose, keep the Cadet from freezing temperatures. If the
Cadet must be stored in freezing temperatues, you must use one of the following methods:
• Method 1: Use pressurized air to blow out any remaining water left inside pump and hose.
• Method 2: Attach a short garden hose (not to exceed four feet) to the water inlet valve and put the other end of the garden hose
into a mixture of 50% antifreeze and 50% water. Plug in the machine and turn the motor switch ON. Allow the mixture to be
pumped completely through the system.
2. Hot Water Damage to Pump: Never use water at temperatures higher than 80°F. Hot water above 80°F will damage the pump and
void the warranty.
3. Cavitation (loss to ow or air in the system): If there is insufficient water flow in the garden hose or if air enters the inlet side of
the pump, cavitation will occur. The pump will become noisy and vibrate. Damage to the pump can occur. If cavitation occurs, check
for the following:
a. Filter screen at inlet is dirty or blocked.
b. Small diameter garden hose being used. (The longer the hose, the larger the required diameter.) Garden hoses available in ½",
⁄" or ¾".
c. Insufficient water flow. With the garden hose disconnected from the unit and the valve turned on, a full stream should flow two
feet or more from the hose end.
d. Check for kinks in garden hose.
e. Be sure hose gaskets are used at both ends of hose connections.
4. Pump Requirements: Change crankcase oil after first 50 hours of operation, then at regular intervals of 200 hours or less,
depending on operating conditions. Use ONLY Giant crankcase oil or a 20W-50 synthetic oil. Failure to comply with these conditions
voids the warranty.
