Safety Instructions
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 Operator’s 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.
If your unit is for use on less than 150 volts, it has 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.
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 cored
with GFCI directly into an inspected grounded outlet and then test and reset the GFCI.
Never cut o the grounding prong on the power cord for use in a two-hole outlet. Doing so cuts o your
protection from shock. Replace or repair all damaged power cords and components.
