— 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. Read the engine
owner’s manual for instruction and safety precautions on engine operation.

— Gasoline is extremely flammable and is explosive under certain conditions.

Refuel in a well ventilated area with the engine stopped. Do not smoke or allow flames or sparks in the

area where the engine is refueled or where gasoline is stored.

Do not overfill the fuel tank (there should be no fuel in the filler neck). After refueling, make sure the tank

cap is closed properly and securely.

— 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.

— Carbon monoxide exhaust and/or gasoline fumes from this equipment can create a hazardous atmosphere in
confined spaces (which may include, but are not limited to, manholes and septic tanks), closed garages or other areas
which may not be properly ventilated. In particular, excess gasoline fumes can create an explosion hazard. Such
hazardous atmospheres can cause death or severe injury. Do not operate this equipment in any confined space or
area with inadequate ventilation. Operate this equipment only when located outdoors or in an open, well ventilated
area.

— 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, flush
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.
