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.

Safety Instructions (cont.) 3. Extension Cords. DANGER- Improper use of an extension cord will cause death or severe injury. The GFCI on the machine’s power cord does not protect the operator from electrical shock along the extension cord. If an extension cord must be used, it must be of an approved, three-wire construction, equipped with a three-pronged plug, and in good condition.

11. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. They can be caught in moving parts. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair. Wear standard equipment. (Spartan riveted gloves). Never grasp a rotating cable with a cloth or loose fitting glove which would get wrapped around cable. Replace gloves if rivets or staples start to pull out.

Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. Never use damaged power cords. Inspect tool cords periodically and if damaged, repair with proper Spartan replacement parts. Inspect extension cords periodically and replace if damaged. Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease.
Machine Features 1065 With Dial-A-Cable Power Cable Feed Figure 2 Assembly Instructions STUDY THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU OPERATE YOUR EQUIPMENT JOINING CABLES All cables and leaders are coupled together by male and female couplings, and held securely by means of expansion pins as illustrated.
Page 11
Leave about 2-3 feet of cable out of the machine to allow for attaching the next section of cable. After loading your desired length of cable, attach either a two foot leader cable or a double male coupling. You are now ready to attach your Spartan cutter blade assembly. (See Figures 4 & 5 for Cable Connection Diagram).
Page 12
(Additional tools are listed on page 13) Your Spartan blades can be attached to either a 2’ leader cable or a double male coupling. To attach a cutter assembly the base of the blade holder assembly needs to be seated onto the hex part of the leader or double male coupling.

Operating WARNING: Never wear loose fitting clothing or jewelry when operating this machine. Always wear your Spartan riveted gloves when handling cable. 1. Couple the leader or double male coupling, complete with the proper tool, onto working end of the cable. See assembly instructions.
Page 15
Operating (cont.) WARNING: Do not permit blade end to get hung up in an obstruction for more than 2 to 3 seconds. Your job as an operator of this machine is to keep the cable rotating. Remember do not operate the machine to the point where the cable begins to buckle.
Operating (cont.) 10. When the job is complete, feed the cable back into drum, making sure that your machine is running, so that the distributor arm can feed and distribute cable in the drum properly. KEEP MACHINE RUNNING in the forward direction. WARNING: Never retract tool from sewer inlet while cable is rotating.
Special Applications Procedure CLEANING LINES THROUGH A MANHOLE: 1. Position your machine at top and about 1’ away from manhole. 2. Use a length of 1-1/2” pipe with 45° elbow screwed there to (the depth of the manhole determines the proper length of pipe to be used). 3.

Maintenance Instructions (cont.) Step One: Grind cable square by placing the cable end against a grinding wheel. Care is to be taken to assure the innercore is flush with outer cable. Grind outer cable and innercore down enough to produce a flat contact surface between the cable and connector (splicer or coupling). Step Two: Secure the cable into a vise, making sure innercore remains flush with outer cable.
Page 20
NOTE: A new 10’ anchor cable should be replaced each time new cable is installed. Spartan cables are of such design that no special care is required. At the end of each day of use, cables and the inside of drum should be rinsed throughly with water to prevent damaging effects of drain cleaning compounds, acids and other organic compounds that eat away the cable’s strength.
Page 21
NOTE: If any maintenance is required other than listed above or Figure 13 any other problem, call your nearest Spartan Tool Territory Manager or contact Spartan Tool. NOTE: Anchor cable end should be at least 6”-8” from clamp.
