Introduction
Dear Customer:
Congratulations on the purchase of your new Carpet Shark™ Counter Rotating
Brush. As technology continues to develop you can work confidently knowing
that both Mytee and its employees are equally dedicated to developing with the
industry and its advances.
Like any other piece of machinery or technology, the Carpet Shark™ also
requires proper maintenance and care to keep the product working over extended
use. Neglecting your machine, abusing it, or not operating it properly can
void its warranty and prevent the machine from performing to the quality and
standard you’d expect out of the Mytee line.
If you have any warranty concerns or questions, please review this manual
thoroughly or do not hesitate to contact your distributor. If there are
questions regarding maintenance, replacement, or ordering parts please contact
an authorized Mytee Service Center. To see an updated list please visit our

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 a
grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is
properly installed in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. Do not
remove the ground pin; if missing, replace the plug before use.
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 a proper outlet is not available,
follow the illustrations of Figures 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 it 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 American use only.
Parts and Service
Please contact Mytee service personnel or a Mytee authorized Service Center
using Mytee’s 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 reference.
Unpacking the Machine
When your new machine is delivered, please carefully inspect both the shipping
carton and the machine for damages. If damage is evident, save both the
shipping carton and machine so that the delivering carrier can inspect it.
Contact the carrier immediately to file a freight claim if there has been any
damage.
