7000S WATER LEVEL CONTROL SWITCHES
Vacuum stack lter
Vacuum water level
control switch
Pump-out water
level control switch
As the water level reaches the pump-out water level control
switch, the pump is activated. Once the water level reaches the
vacuum water level control switch, the vaccum shuts off prevent-
ing the water from going into the vacuum stack, damaging the
vacuum motors. At the top of the vaccum stack, there is a lter.
Clean it weekly.
7000S DRAIN VALVE AND SPOUT
When not using the Auto Pump-out, empty the tank by using the
drain valve on the front of the machine with the included drain
elbow (part # H226).
REAR PLUGS
Cap top plug to use as
a booster and pass-through
extractor.
See page 6.
Cap both plugs
to use as a
ood extractor
Two vacuum plugs are located in the back. The top and bottom rear plugs, depending on how they are capped, allow the Flood Hog™ to
be used as a stand-alone extractor, a ow-through booster connected to another machine, or an in-line pump-out unit. They also seal the
Flood Hog™ vacuum tank.

The Flood Hog™ (#2) can be used as a pass-through extractor and to boost the airow of a second, larger extractor (#1) by
increasing its CFM by 113. A. To do this, use the larger extractor (#1) as a fresh water source and recovery tank, connect a vacuum hose to the larger extractor and the Flood Hog’s™ (#2) rear bottom plug. Keep the top rear plug capped. B. To use a wand, attach the wand’s
vacuum hose to the front of the Flood Hog™ and attach the solution hose to larger extractor and to the wand. Clean water will travel from the
larger extractor to the wand to clean the surface, and dirty water will be drawn through the Flood Hog™ into the main extractor’s recovery
tank.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Dear Customer:
Congratulations on the purchase of your new 7000S Flood Hog™. As you
are already aware, the scene of the equipment world is becoming more high tech,
and we at Mytee Products Inc. strive to keep you on the cutting edge with superior
quality and technology.
Keep in mind that the 7000S Flood Hog™ is a machine, so neglect or abuse will
cause unnecessary damage and void the warranty. However with simple maintenance the Flood Hog™ will give quality performance for many years to come.
If warranty questions arise, please consult your user manual or get in touch with
your distributor. If you have questions about maintenance, replacing parts or
ordering parts, please call an authorized Mytee Products Inc. Service Center.
To see an updated list, visit our website at www.mytee.com
Before you begin cleaning, please read your manual thoroughly.
Sincerely,
Mytee Customer Care Dept.
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 connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of
electric shock. Check with a qualied electrician or service person if you are in doubt
as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with
the machine. If it will not t the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualied
electrician.
This appliance is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has a grounding plug
that looks like the plug illustrated in Figure 1 below. A temporary adapter illustrated
in Figures 2 and 3 may be used~to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as
shown in Figure 2 if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary
adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet (Figure 1) can be
installed by a qualied electrician. The green colored rigid ear, tab or the like
extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a
properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held
in place by a metal screw. Grounding adapters are not approved for use in Canada.
Replace the plug if the grounding pin is damaged or broken.
The green (or green-yellow) wire in the cord is the grounding wire. When replacing
a plug, this wire must be attached to the grounding pin only.
DO NOT use extension cords.
Please Note for America use only

1. In front, attach one end of the rst vacuum hose to a wand (using scalloped or
squeegee vacuum head), the other end to the Cuff-Lynx™ hose connection on the
front of the machine.
2. The debris lter inside the machine protects the vacuum motor from damaging

tting. Secure the hose to the tting using the cam lock. Push the hose cuff onto
the tting, making sure the silver ears and rings are extended forward. Pull the ears
10
down using the rings until connection is tight. Place the end of the hose in a location
where dirty water can drain.
4. Two power cords are located in the back of the machine. To power Vacuum 1 and
Pump, plug in the top cord. To power the Vacuum 2, plug in the bottom cord. Plug
each of the two power cords into two separate, 20A grounded wall outlets. Do not

FAQs

GENERAL INFORMATION
Q: What comes standard with the 7000S?
A: The 7000S comes with two 25’ vacuum hoses (H294), a wand (H908), a vacuum
head (P570), a squeegee vacuum head (G200) a 2” x 1.5” Cuff Lynx™ (H141), two
2” Cuff-Lynx™ plugs (H121), and pack of lters (G008).
Q: Where do I plug the machine in?
A: Plug each power cord into a separate, 20A grounded wall outlet. Outlets must
be on two separate breakers. When the amber light on the switch plate illuminates,
the machine is on separate circuits (not necessarily 20A circuits). You can identify the
primary cord by the yellow tag.
Q: Is there anything I can do to increase the expected life of my machine?
A: Running the vacuum motors with the tank empty and lid off will allow excess
moisture in the vacs to dry off.
