Important Safety Information
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.
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 work-around 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. 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.

Machine Operation
2.1 – Powering the Speedster®
Each power cord on the Speedster® requires a grounded 20 amp outlet. For dual cord machines, plug each cord into its own 20 amp circuit. The dual circuit indicator light and tone will activate when this is achieved. ♦
2.2 – Connecting Vacuum & Solution Hoses
Use the included Cuff-Lynx™ hose connectors to connect 1.5” or 2” vacuum hose to the Speedster®. Connect the solution hose via the quick connect fitting on the front of the Speedster®. ♦
2.3 – Filling the Solution Tank
The Speedster® solution tank can be filled up via the faucet fill hose or from a bucket via the opening under the solution tank lid.
IMPORTANT: Do not use acid (acid rinse) or high alkaline chemicals like sodium hydroxide in the 1003DX or 1005LX machines. This will cause damage to the pump and void the warranty.
IMPORTANT: Use only low foam or non foaming detergent or shampoo. Damage due to excessive foam will void warranty. ♦
2.4 – Switching on the Speedster®
Units Without Heater (1000DX-200, 1005LX)
After a cleaning tool is connected and the solution tank is filled, switch on the vacuums and the pump in any order.
Units With Heater (1001DX-200, 1003DX)
In order to avoid vapor locking the unit, the components should be switched on by following the procedure below after a cleaning tool is connected:
- 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 wand.
- 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.
- Once water is heated, turn on vacuum and begin cleaning. ♦
2.5 – The Prime Valve
The Speedster® units come with a prime valve attached to the solution hose quick connect fitting. Turning the valve lever to position 1 directs flow towards the wash hose inside the solution tank. Turning the lever to position 2 directs flow towards the cleaning tool. ♦
2.6 – Emptying the Recovery Tank
Empty the recovery tank by attaching the H226 45˚ drain elbow to the drain spout in back. Lift up the dump valve and empty the tank into a bucket or drain.
Rinse out the recovery tank using the wash hose inside the solution tank. Take the lid off the recovery tank and place the end of the wash hose inside. With solution or clean water in the solution tank, switch on the pump and turn the prime valve to position 1 (shown in section 2.5 on previous page). Rinse off the inside of the recovery tank and then drain the tank. ♦
2.7 – Emptying the Solution Tank
Connect a vacuum hose to the Cuff-Lynx™ connection. Switch on the vacuum(s) and insert the vacuum hose into the solution tank to suck out all the unused solution. When finished, lift the recovery tank dump valve to drain.
Machine Maintenance
In order to keep the Speedster® running smoothly and reduce the risk of damage to the machine and subsequent downtime, Mytee recommends following the maintenance schedule below:
3.1 – Opening the Unit for Maintenance
To open your Speedster® for maintenance, use a drill with a 3/8” bit to remove the bolts holding the Speedster’s®
body together. Lift up on the push handle to open the machine. ♦
3.2 – Filter Maintenance
The Speedster® has a small mesh screen intake filter in the solution tank. This filter should be checked and cleaned after each use. ♦
3.3 – Ball Float Maintenance
The ball floats in the recovery tank prevent recovered dirty water from rising too high and damaging the vacuum motors. Clean the mesh screen on the floats regularly. ♦
3.4 – System Maintainer
Weekly flushing of the solution system with Mytee® System Maintainer helps keep lines clean and prevents chemical build-up, improving pump life, performance and pressure.
How to use System Maintainer:
- Mix 1-quart 3601 System Maintainer with 1-quart of warm water.
- After thoroughly mixing, pour this solution into the solution tank.
- Turn the pump on FIRST, and run solution through your cleaning tool. NOTE: The jet should be removed from the cleaning tool in order to prevent clogging due to loosening of deposits in line.
- Next, turn on the heater (if equipped). If the heater is turned on first, it will result in a vapor lock, which will affect the machine’s operation.
- Next, with both the pump and heater on, begin running the solution through the machine. This allows the solution to break down any build up in the lines.
- After running all of the solution through the machine, fill the tank with clean, warm water. Run the water through the machine to clear the solution completely out of the tank & lines. ♦
