Warnings • Read the safety and operating instructions before using any Spartan Tool products. 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.
The Spartan Model 300 electric drain and sewer cleaning machine has been designed and manufactured with high quality materials and care in workmanship. The instructions in this manual have been prepared to ensure that, when followed, the Spartan Model 300 will provide long and efficient service.
Recommended Line Size 3" to 6" diameter Permanent magnet; 115 volt AC (rectified); Motor 1.25 amps (DC) @ 300 rpm (no load); 4.6 amps (DC) 155 in-lb torque @ 160 rpm 101 lbs for a 300 Dial-A-Cable machine with 5' Weight anchor cable 30"...
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.

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 a cable.

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.
LOADING CABLE INTO MACHINE WARNING: Due to the amount of initial tension wound into your Spartan cable, care must be taken when uncoiling the bundle of cable. The cable will spring apart after the wire ties, which secure the cable, are cut.

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.
(Additional tools are listed on page 14.) 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. Next, the proper blade size is placed into the blade holder base.

Operation NOTE: Kinkage and breakage of cable is caused solely by one thing: you permit the working end of the cable to get hung up in an obstruction and you keep on twisting the other end of same with your motor, until something must give.
Operation 11. When tool is close to the clean out opening, release foot actuator and allow machine to come to a complete stop. 12. Move toggle switch to the “OFF” position and disconnect machine from power source. 13. Pull remaining cable and tool from the line and hand-feed cable back into the drum. Operating the Power Cable Feed The adjusting knob on the top controls the tension on the cable.
Special Applications Procedure CLEANING LINES THROUGH A MANHOLE Position your machine at top and about 1' away from manhole. Use a length of 1½" pipe with 45° elbow screwed there to (the depth of the manhole determines the proper length of pipe to be used).

Maintenance Instructions 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).
A new 5' 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.
Maintenance Instructions HOW TO INSTALL 5' DRUM ANCHOR CABLE Position external drum in a vertical position so that cable can be inserted into the drum horizontally through the distributor arm. Rotate the external drum until the heads of the cable clamp screws on the back of the drum indicate that the clamp is at the top of the drum.
