Before Operation WARNING: Operator must be thoroughly familiar with the Safety Instructions of this manual before attempting to operate this equipment. PREPLANNING OPERATIONS. Before starting a cleaning operation, preplanning will save time, money and effort. After analyzing the blockage problem; consider the type of cable and tools needed, determine best location for the machine and cable entry, and consider access to the power source.
Page 16
Before Operation (cont.) CABLE DRUM REPLACEMENT. Loaded cable drums can be quickly installed on the machine for added cable reach or to change cable size. Loaded or empty drums can also be removed from the power unit for replacement or for easier transport of machine and drum. NOTE: If the drum is loaded with cable, use the Smart Cart to transport it to the power unit.
Page 17
Before Operation (cont.) DRUM INSTALLATION. Install the drum on the power unit as follows: 1. Check the drum anchor cable or supply cable extends a few inches from the ditributor arm so the female coupling is clear. If there is an expansion pin in the female coupling, drive it out before installing the drum.
Before Operation (cont.) DIAL-A-CABLE POWER CABLE FEED. The Spartan Dial-A-Cable power feed unit provides infinitely variable cable penetration speeds. The single lever control varies the speed, and the forward or reverse movement of the cable through two lower and one upper bearing assemblies. The two lower bearing blocks can be adjusted to match the cable size in the drum.
Operation WARNING: Operator must be thoroughly familiar with the Safety Instructions section before attempting to operate this equipment. WARNING: Always use safety goggles. Guard against foreign material that might fly off the cable. BEFORE OPERATING CHECK LIST. Before starting operation, check the following: 1.
Page 20
Operation (cont.) WARNING: Avoid operating machine in reverse. Operating machine in reverse can result in cable damage and is used only to back stuck or imbedded tool out of an obstruction. Continual drum rotation in reverse position will cause cable to “jump” out of drum.
Page 21
Operation (cont.) CLEANING OPERATION. Move the machine as close to the entry point as possible. The end of the cable safety guide and cutting tool should be inside the entry point of the cleanout. This machine should be operated from the side of the power feed. During operations, always have one hand on the power feed lever, and the other hand resting on the cable safety guide so torque build-up may be felt as the motor slows down.
Page 22
Operation (cont.) Kinkage and breakage of cable are caused by allowing the working end of the cable to get hung up in an obstruction while twisting the other end with the motor, until something must give. The only way to clean an obstruction from a line, or negotiate a bend in a line, is with the blade rotating. A good rule to follow for releasing tension on a cable is: when the blade gets hung up in the obstruction and fails to rotate, a motor RPM sound reduction will be noticeable, which indicates it is time to pull the blade away from the obstruction.
Operation (cont.) CABLE PULLBACK. When the job is complete, feed the cable back into drum by moving the power feed lever towards the “R” position, making sure the machine is running forward with the power switch in “FWD” position, so that the distributor arm can feed and distribute cable into the drum properly.
Cable and Tools CABLE DESCRIPTION. There are two types and sizes of cable available for the Spartan 2001. Each is designed for particular types of cleaning operations. Consult your Spartan Tool Representative for the cable type to be used in each applications.
Page 25
SPARE DRUMS. Due to the ease of changing cable drums on the Model 2001, it may expedite the job to have spare drums already loaded with the cable to be used on the job. When cleaning further than the length of cable available in the drum, and change drums, refer to the procedure for cleaning farther than 100’...
Page 26
Cable and Tools (cont.) BLADE ASSEMBLY. Blade assembly and attachment to the cable is the same for both types of blades. Either a double male coupling or a 2’ leader cable is used to attach the cutters. 1. Seat the blade holder assembly on the leader or male coupling threaded end. 2.
Cable and Tools (cont.) REMOVING ANCHOR CABLE Remove drum from the machine. Pull anchor cable out through the distributor arm as far as possible. Using external retaining ring pliers, remove external retaining ring from inner drum shaft at rear of the drum. With distributor arm and cable at the notch in the drum opening, pull the inner drum away from the outer drum exposing the anchor clamp at the end of the anchor cable Loosen the two cable clamp screws from rear outside of the drum.
Special Applications CAUTION: Excessive distance between the drain/sewer cleaning machine and pipe opening may cause rotating cable to become uncontrollable and lead to personal injury. CLEANING FARTHER THAN DRUM CAPACITY. Cable can be added to the operation in two ways - replacing a loaded drum on the machine, or reloading cable into the cable drum. To replace the drum, refer to DRUM ASSEMBLY HANDLING in BEFORE OPERATION Section of this manual.
NOTE: If any maintenance is required other than listed above or any other problem, call your Spartan Tool Territory Manager or contact Spartan Tool. Refer to your Spartan accessories book or parts manual for all repair parts and machine options.

Cable Safety Guide Instructions The Spartan Tool Cable Safety Guide has been designed to improve the operational safety. It’s purpose is to prevent direct contact with the rotating cable. To install, place the spring end of the Cable Safety Guide against the hub of the power feed and rotate it counterclockwise under pres- sure until the spring rests against the wall of the Actuator Assembly.
Cable Safety Guide Instructions (cont) The length of the Cable Safety Guide is the correct distance the machine should be located from the pipe opening. If the machine cannot be located as prescribed, precautions must be taken. A pipe section must be placed in the area between the “cleanout entry” and the end of the Cable Safety Guide to avoid injury.
Spartan Tool will direct where to take or send the equipment for service. If the defect is covered by the warranty, Spartan Tool will repair or replace, at its option, the defective equipment, without charge for labor or materials. (Freight and insurance are the purchaser’s responsibility.)
