IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Grounding Instructions
This machine must be grounded. If it should malfunction
or breakdown, 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 conduc-
tor can result in a risk of electric shock. Be sure to check
with a qualied electrician or service person if you are in
doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. If
the plug will not t in the outlet do not modify either the
plug nor the machine’s cord, instead have a proper outlet
installed by a qualied 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 qualied 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.
Parts and Service
Please contact a Mytee service personnel or Mytee
authorized Service Center using Mytee original replacement parts and accessories for repairs are needing to be
performed. When and if calling Mytee for support, please

2 - MACHINE OPERATION
2.1 - Powering the Orbital Floor Machines
The Orbital Floor Machines require a 20 amp, 115V power
outlet to operate.
Included 50’
extension cord
Plug the female end of the 50’ lighted extension cord into
the Orbital Floor Machine’s pigtail power cord and plug the
male end of the extension cord into a wall outlet. ♦
2.2 - Pad Drivers, Pads, and Brushes
Pad Driver
The pad driver comes pre-installed on Mytee’s Orbital
Floor Machines. To remove the pad driver, undo the four
screws on the bottom of the pad driver.
Applying Cleaning Pad
To apply a cleaning pad, just lower the machine with pad
driver onto a 16” cleaning pad for the ECO-13 or a 19”
pad for the ECO-17. Make sure the pad is as centered as
possible on the pad driver with no driver bristles exposed
to carpet.
Tile & Grout Brush
To apply the optional Tile & Grout Brush, remove the
pre-installed pad driver via the four screws holding it in
place. Screw the Tile & Grout Brush directly into the bear-
ing just like the pad driver was.
Using the Optional Star Lok™ Driver Hub
Quickly switch between the Pad Driver and Tile & Grout
Brush with the A145 Star Lok™ Driver Hub (sold separately). The Star Lok™ Driver Hub bolts onto the Orbital Floor
Machine’s bearing, eliminating the need for tools when
swapping cleaning heads. Just slide one head o of the
star-shaped Driver Hub and slide another on. ♦
IMPORTANT:
When lling with
a bucket, tilt the
handle back in
order to avoid
spilling water on
the motor.
