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 Product 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.
Safety Instructions
FIG. 1
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.
