Important Safety Information

Please read and understand this manual completely before operating this machine.
Grounding Instructions
This machine must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break down, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electrical shock. This machine is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed in accordance with all local code and ordinances. Do not remove ground pin; if missing, replace plug before use.

DANGER
Improper installation of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Be sure to check with a qualified electrician or service person if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. If the plug will not fit in the outlet do not modify the plug or the machine’s cord, instead have a proper outlet installed by a qualified technician.
This machine is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit and with a grounding plug similar to the one in Figure 1 below. If a proper outlet is not available, follow the illustrations of Figure 2 & 3 to install a temporary- grounding plug. This temporary workaround should be used only until a proper outlet (Figure 1) can be installed by a qualified electrician. When and if this type of adapter is employed, screw the adapter’s extended tab into place with a metal screw. However, grounding adapters are not approved for use in Canada.
Again, be sure to check the grounding pin for damages and replace if necessary.
The Green, or Green-Yellow, wire in the cord is the grounding wire. When replacing a plug, this wire must be attached to only the grounding pin.
DO NOT use extension cords.
Please Note for America use only.

Parts and Service
Please contact Mytee service personnel or a Mytee authorized Service Center using Mytee original replacement parts and accessories if repairs need to be performed. When and if calling Mytee for support, please have your Model and Serial Number available for faster assistance.
Name Plate
The Model and Serial Number are located on the lower half of the back of the machine near the power plug and will be required for ordering replacement parts. You can use the space provided in this manual to note down both for future referencing.
Unpacking the Machine
When your new machine is delivered, please carefully inspect both the shipping carton and the machine for damages.

Machine Operation

2.1 – Powering the Extractor

Plug the power cord(s) from the extractor into a standard grounded wall outlet. Dual cord units like the 2008CS require two separate circuits. A tone will sound and the indicator light on the switch plate will light up when plugged into separate circuits. ♦
2.2 – Filling the Solution Tank
Lift the tank lid and, using a bucket, fill the solution tank via the large opening. For best results, use warm water. ♦
2.3 – Connecting the Hoses
Connect the vacuum hose to the Cuff-Lynx hose connection on the vacuum tank. Twist clockwise to lock into place.

Connect the solution hose to the brass quick connect fitting on the base of the machine. To connect, pull back the flange on the female fitting from the hose and slide onto the male fitting on the machine. Release to lock fittings together. ♦

CAUTION
Do not operate machine with a spray nozzle orifice smaller than #2. This can damage the pump switch.

CAUTION
Do not pull on hoses in order to move the unit. Use only the appropriate handles.
2.4 – Operating the Extractor

In order to avoid vapor locking the unit, the components hould be switched on by following the procedure below after a cleaning tool is connected:

1. First, prime the pump.
   2002CS model: Turn pump switch on. Pull the lever on the cleaning tool to release air in the line. Hold lever until a steady flow of water comes out of the tool.
   2005CS and 2008CS models: Turn the pump switch on. Turn the prime valve to the prime position (1) and water will flow through the prime hose in the solution tank. Once the air is released from the line and there is a steady flow, switch the valve to flow out (2) and water will be routed out to the tool.

2. Once pump is primed and there is pressure in the solution line, turn on heater switch and wait a few minutes for water to heat up.

3. Once water is heated, turn on vacuum(s) and begin cleaning.

CAUTION
Use only low foam or non foaming detergent or shampoo. Damage due to excessive foam will void warranty.

CAUTION
Empty the vacuum tank any time you refill the solution tank in order to prevent vacuum tank overfilling.

Cleaning Procedure
For best results when extracting, do one wet pass followed by two dry passes. This ensures you’re not over-soaking the material and keeps water temperature higher.
The solution pump will only turn on when there is a pressure demand (e.g., while spraying with cleaning tool, or right at startup). If the pump is continuously running or pulsing, it does not necessarily mean that it is defective. If the pump is not producing the correct pressure and flow, see the Troubleshooting section of this manual. ♦
2.5 – Emptying the Tanks
Empty the recovery tank via the drain valve on the rear of the machine. Make sure there is a bucket in place under the valve or the machine is in a position so the dirty water is drained safely.

Any leftover solution in the solution tank can be sucked out of the tank using the vacuum hose and drained from the recovery tank. ♦

Machine Maintenance

In order to keep the extractor running smoothly and reduce the risk of damage to the machine and subsequent downtime, Mytee recommends following the maintenance schedule below:

Inspect spray pattern for clogging. If clogged, remove spray tips and soak them in a recommended liquid neutralizer for up to six hours. To remove spray tip, twist spray tip body counter-clockwise.| | X
Lubricate casters with water resistant oil.| | X
Inspect machine for water leaks and loose hardware.| | X

3.1 – Opening the Unit for Maintenance
To open your extractor for maintenance, use a drill with a 3/8” bit to remove the bolts holding the body together. Lift up on the push handle to open the machine like a clam shell. ♦
3.2 – Filter Maintenance
The extractor has a small filter at the top of the vacuum stack in the recovery tank. This filter should be checked after each use. ♦
3.3 – System Maintainer
Regular flushing of the solution system with Mytee System Maintainer keeps your extractor running efficiently by removing hard water scaling that builds up in the system.
How to use System Maintainer:

1. Thoroughly mix System Maintainer with warm water at a 1:1 ratio in a separate container. Pour into your Extractor’s solution tank.
2. Connect a cleaning tool (upholstery tool, wand, etc.) and remove the jet(s) in order to prevent clogging from dislodged mineral build-up.
3. Turn on the Extractor’s pump and run the System Maintainer solution through the system and into a bucket or receptacle until you have a solid stream.
4. Let sit for about 5 minutes while the System Maintainer solution does its job inside your Extractor.
5. Finish running the rest of the solution through the system.
6. Run clean water through the system to flush out any remaining System Maintainer. ♦

CAUTION
Do not tamper with the set screw on the pump pressure switch. This can damage the pressure switch.

Troubleshooting

grounded 20 amp outlet.
Circuit breaker tripped in building.| Reset breaker in building.
Faulty switch or power cord.| Contact a Mytee Service Center.
