Warnings

WARNING:

Read the “Owner’s Manual” thoroughly before using any Spartan tool
products. Drain/Sewer cleaning can be dangerous if proper
procedures are not followed. Know the proper operation, correct
applications and the limitations of all Spartan Tool products 

before

Safety must always be the operator’s prime concern. The operator must read and understand this
manual and all safety signs on the machine before operating the equipment. Failure to follow these
safety precautions could result in property damage and/or personal injury or death. This safety
summary describes basic safety measures which apply to the use and maintenance of the machine.
Further safety measures are described in other sections throughout this manual.

The precautions listed in this manual and on the equipment are not all-inclusive. The operator must be
satisfied that the use of any procedure, method, tool or part not specifically recommended by Spartan
Tool is safe for personnel, and will not damage or make the equipment unsafe.

Safety decals have been placed at operating points on the equipment to remind operators to observe
safety precautions. All standard decals and their proper locations are documented in a later section of
this manual. These decals must be visible at all times. Check these decals on a regular basis and
during machine set-up prior to the first operation. Replace damaged or unreadable decals.

Remember, your ability as a professional operator is critical to ensuring your safety and that of your co-
workers.
