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
Powering the Water Hog™
The Water Hog™ requires a 15 amp, 115V power outlet to operate. Plug the
female end of the 25’ lighted extension cord into the Water Hog’s™ pigtail
power cord and plug the male end of the extension cord into a wall outlet.
Connecting Hoses
The Water Hog™ uses a female quick connect fitting for output and a male quick connect fitting for the auto-fill input.
Filling the Tank
There are three ways the tank can be filled: (1) with a bucket, (2) via the
faucet-fill hose, and (3) via the auto-fill feature.
Bucket Fill
To fill the Water Hog™ using a bucket, simply remove the clear tank lid on top
of the machine and pour water in.
Faucet-Fill
Pull the faucet-fill hose up from the machine and press the rubber faucet
adapter onto the faucet. Turn on the water and fill to desired level.
Auto-Fill
Connect hose from water source to auto-fill fitting on the rear of the
machine. Turn on the water source and allow the tank to fill. The tank will
fill up to the float shut-off. The float will automati-cally allow more water
in as needed.
Chemical Injection
Fill the included 5 qt. bottle with the chemical concentration of your choice. With a cleaning tool or spray gun connected, switch on the pump and pull the trigger on your tool to keep water flowing. Turn the chemical injection knob counter-clockwise to open the valve. This allows chemicals to siphon into the line. Turn the knob until you see the bubble reach the desired gallons per hour of chemical. Follow the chemical manufacturer’s instructions for the correct ratio.
Operating the Water Hog™
To operate the Water Hog™, connect a hose from the female quick connect on the front of the machine to a tool (spray gun, tile and grout tool, etc.) and switch on the pump. Dial in the desired pressure using the regulator to the left of the pressure gauge.
Emptying the Tank
After use, the tank can be emptied via the drain cap on the low-er-right side of the rear of the machine.
