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.
• 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 appropriate chemicals or soaps.
• For any questions, contact Spartan Tool at the address shown below.

USE OF ANY ELECTRIC EQUIPMENT IN A WET OR DAMP ENVIRONMENT CAN CAUSE FATAL SHOCK IF NOT PROPERLY
GUARDED AGAINST BY THE OPERATOR.
1. Before using your Spartan equipment, make sure that a properly grounded, 3-hole electrical outlet is available. If not, as in older
homes, use a 3-prong adapter and connect the green pigtail or grounding lug to a known ground such as a cold water pipe.
2. Don't assume all 3-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.
3. Plug the three-wire cord furnished with your machine into the 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.
4. Use rubber boots and rubber gloves inside your Spartan riveted gloves to further insulate yourself. Respect electricity: you may not
get a second chance.
5. Read this manual carefully for further safety precautions and operating instructions.
Your Spartan equipment has been built with the utmost safety in mind and thoroughly inspected for electrical and mechanical defects.
However, through abuse and misuse on the job, a breakdown in the electrical insulation could conceivably develop and if this happens,
you need a ground circuit to protect you.

Assembly Instructions
1. Mount Model 718 in vise or have it held in secure position.
2. Lay entire length of cable on floor with non-working end of cable pointing toward chuck.
3. Push cable into drum, using short bites, one foot at a time, to prevent kinking (Fig. 1).
4. Feed entire length or cable into drum, leaving only the bulb or enlarged head exposed.
5. Slide the battery box into place.
Now you are ready to operate.

Operating Instructions
WARNING Do not use your ¼" cable in lines larger than 1¼" in diameter
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Insert proper size of cable in machine, using ¼" cable for 1¼" lines: ⁄" cable for 1½" to 2" lines.
2. Hold unit close—within 6" to 8" of pipe opening.
3. Pull out enough cable to enter waste line or approach cross bar.
4. Position Reverse Switch, causing cable and drum to rotate in a clockwise direction. Don't reverse motor or use Reverse Action
Switch until machine comes to a dead stop.
5. Press Off-On Trigger Switch causing cable to rotate through cross bar or into pipe opening.
6. To tighten chuck, grip it with your hand while motor turns clockwise and chuck will close easily.
7. Take 6" to 8" bite on cable, and feed same into line by advancing machine toward cleanout slowly, giving cable time to round fitting
or remove stoppage.
8. When motor slows up, indicating a load on same, pull back a bit and start moving your unit forwards and backwards. This
reciprocating action keeps the cable rotating—keeps the cable from getting "hung up"—the sole cause of cable kinkage or
breakage.
9. If cable gets "hung up," stop your machine and reverse the direction of same through Reverse Switch, pulling back as you do so to
free working end of cable.
WARNING Do not use Reverse Switch until your motor unit comes to a dead stop!
10. When chuck approaches cleanout, stop your machine; open the chuck and pull out another short length of cable.
11. Tighten your chuck and advance your machine toward pipe opening.
12. Repeat this action as often as necessary to clean the line.
13. When the job is completed, feed all cable back into drum 6" to 8" at a time—DON'T take long bites

7
OPERATING A POWER-DRIVEN CLEANING TOOL
1. Stay close to pipe opening, having no more than 6" to 8" of cable exposed between machine and cleanout—especially when
rounding fittings or removing stoppage.
2. Move your machine backwards and forwards constantly when you get into stoppage, thereby preventing your cable from getting
"hung up" causing unnecessary kinkage. Remember, a rotating sewer cable cannot kink or break. Kinkage of cable takes place only
when the working end of the cable gets "hung up" and you keep on twisting the other end.
3. Don't attempt to go around fittings or remove stoppage until your drum reaches full speed. It is the rotation of the cable that
enables it to either (a) round fittings, (b) remove stoppage—NOT push power.
Operating Instructions
HOW TO REPAIR KINKED OR BROKEN ¼" AND 5∕16" OPEN HOOK CABLES
Repair bulbs for ¼" and ⁄" cables are available. If you kink your cable, cut the cable off at the kinked portion. Grind the end to provide
a leader thread. Now, thread your repair bulb on the regular cable, as you would a nut on a bolt, turning about three turns—which will
fasten it to the cable securely.
CARE OF MACHINE
Dry or wipe your cables as you put them in the drum. When through with a job, place your machine back in the bucket. DON'T drop it—
lay it down in its proper position in the bucket.
