―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.

―Insure the jet hose has been placed in the pipe (minimum of 6 feet suggested) before engaging

the water pressure to prevent the hose from coming out of the pipe prematurely and causing injury.

―Always shut the water pressure off before pulling the hose out of the pipe. Mark the hose a minimum

of 6 feet from the end to help insure the hose is not accidentally pulled out of the pipe while still under

pressure. Shut off the water pressure when the hose mark is encountered. WARNING: Portions of

the system can still be under pressure even if the unit is not operating.

―Never point the wash gun at anyone while operating the unit. Injury may result.

―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, ush mucous membranes with

water. Also, disinfect potentially contaminated equipment by washing such surfaces with a hot

soapy wash using a strong detergent.

― For any questions contact the company at the address shown below.

“California Prop. 65: This product may contain an extremely small amount of lead in the coating. Lead

is a material known to the State of California to cause cancer or reproductive toxicity.”

High pressure water jetting is the utilization of high pressure water combined with sufcient water ow

to remove debris in drain/sewer pipes. High pressure water jetting can also be used to remove debris

on surfaces.

A high pressure water jet consists of a pump, a motor or engine, a hose reel, a given length of hose and

a various assortment of nozzles.

A pipe is cleaned with a high pressure water jet by directing water pressure and ow through a nozzle.

Controlled water pressure and ow propels a water jet through the sewer pipe allowing it to remove and

wash away the obstruction. (See Fig. 1.)

Ideally, a sewer pipe is cleaned from the lower end of the pipe and the hose propels itself to the higher

end of the pipe. By slowly withdrawing the jet hose, the water pressure and ow cleans the line most

effectively. When it is impossible to clean from the lower end of the pipe, the pipe must be water jetted

several times to remove all the debris. A skilled operator can effectively clean a drain/sewer regardless

of the obstacles in his way.

Jet Applications Areas

There are a wide variety of uses for the Spartan Model 717 Water Jet. Here are just a few:

―Apartments/Hotels

Mains and garage drains, remove grease and debris from main lines under the buildings.

―Factories

Food processing plants and foundries have frequent drain and sewer blockages.

―Farms, Rural

Clean and spray barns, pens and heavy farm equipment, revitalize drain eld in septic systems.

―Housing Authorities

Any drains, laundry lines, garbage chutes, clean-outs and many grease-removing applications.

―Institutions

Clean-running drains and sewer lines are a “must” in hospitals, schools, prisons. Use in kitchens,

remove lime deposits on buildings and clean parking lot.

―Municipals

Open culverts for proper ood control, wash down manholes, clean lines in wastewater treatment

plants.

―Residential

Clean drain lines, septic lines, eld tiles, culverts, swimming pools, surface cleaning.

―Restaurants

Grease in drains is always a problem - Your Spartan Water Jet actually removes grease from the

lines instead of simply punching a hole through the blockage, risking reaccumulation downstream.

Other opportunities for using the Jet and accessories are as follows:

―Clean interiors of buildings-factories, farms.

―Clean and washdown trucks, buses, other large equipment.

―Clean insides of tanks.

―Clean parking lot and gas station drains.

―Clean commercial air conditioning lines.

Safety Procedures

READ THE “OPERATORS MANUAL” THOROUGHLY BEFORE USING ANY

SPARTAN TOOL PRODUCT. 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 USE.

Use of any electrical equipment in a wet environment can cause fatal shock if

equipment is not properly grounded, adequately maintained, and if care is not used

by the operator.

A. GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS —

Before using your Spartan Tool equipment, make sure a properly grounded, three hole electrical outlet

is available. If not, as in some older homes, use a three-prong adapter and connect the green pigtail (or

grounding lug) to a known ground such as a cold water pipe. A three- prong adapter is provided and available

through Spartan Tool. 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.

Spartan Tool equipment must be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electrical shock. Spartan

Tool equipment comes with a three-conductor cord and threeprong grounding type plug to t the properly

grounded receptacle. The green (or green and yellow) conductor in the cord is the grounding wire. Never

connect the green (or green and yellow) wire to a live terminal. If your unit is for use on less that 150V, it

has a plug that looks like that shown in sketch (A). An adapter, see sketches (B) and (C), is available for

connecting, sketch (A) type plugs, to a two-prong receptacle, except in Canada.

The green-colored rigid ear (or lug), extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground

such as a properly grounded outlet box.

Don’t assume that all three-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.

WARNING:

Caution #1

Safety Procedures (cont.)

B. The Spartan Model 717 is equipped with a ground fault interrupter (GFI) to guard against shock.

C. Extension cords are not to be used with the Spartan Model 717.

Follow all rules of safety and good housekeeping.

A. Always locate drain/sewer cleaning machine as close as possible to opening of pipe. Do not locate machine

more than 3 feet from the opening of the pipe.

Always locate drain/sewer cleaning machine as close as possible to opening of pipe.

Do not locate machine more than 3 feet from the opening of the pipe.

Caution #2

A. Always wear safety goggles and rubber, gauntlet-style gloves when cleaning drains/ sewers to avoid injury.

B. Before beginning work, ask the customer if either acids or caustic substances are present in the pipe. If in

doubt, litmus paper used at the opening of the pipe may give an indication of the type of substance in the

line. Litmus paper (acids/caustics) can be purchased at most pharmacies.

Avoid eye or skin contact with acids or caustic substances while cleaning drains/

sewers.

Caution #3

A. Always wear safety goggles and rubber gloves to minimize exposure to infection from bacteria in pipes.

B. Avoid contact with ears, eyes or mouth with contents of pipe to lower the risk of infection.

DO NOT SMOKE!

C. Avoid exposing any cuts to drains/ sewers and sewer cleaning equipment.

Drains/sewers carry bacteria and the possibility of infectious disease exists, if

exposed.

Pre-Operation Checklist

Before using the operational instructions for the “Mini Jet”, follow this checklist:

1. Check the ground fault interrupter (GFI) before each use. (See instructions located on the GFI).

DO NOT USE THE GFI IF THE INDICATOR LIGHT DOES NOT GO ON WHEN RESET OR IF

THE INDICATOR LIGHT REMAINS ON WHEN THE TEST BUTTON IS PUSHED IN. DO NOT

USE EXTENSION CORD WITH GFI.

2. The inlet screen must be cleaned before each use to avoid damage to the pump or pulsator. To

clean the inlet screen, remove the hose by pulling back on the disconnect tting at the water inlet

valve. (See Fig. 2.) Remove the water inlet valve and screen. Rinse the screen thoroughly with

water. Replace the screen, water inlet valve and hose.

3. Use only garden hose with 5/8” I.D. Make sure there are no impurities in the incoming water

supply. If the possibility of impurities exist, turn on the incoming water supply for 15 seconds to

remove debris or rust buildup.

4. Select the proper nozzle for the application and install it on the hose. Insure the nozzle has been

tightened sufciently to avoid loosening. Use these guidelines for nozzle selection:

A. Ultra Lite Hose/Nozzle - To execute bends in 1 1/4” - 1 1/2” lines.

B. 20º Open Nozzle - To blast openings and clean 1 1/2” - 6” lines.

C. 20º Closed Nozzle - To clean 1 1/2” - 2” lines.

D. 30º Closed Nozzle - To clean 2” - 3” lines.

E. 45º Closed Nozzle - To clean 4” - 6” lines.

WARNING: NEVER OPERATE THE “MINI JET” WITHOUT THE INLET

SCREEN. DAMAGE TO THE PUMP OR PULSATOR MAY OCCUR.
