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 qualied 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 qualied 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 qualied 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
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 plugs and

will be required for ordering replacement parts. You can

use the space provided on the front of 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 le a freight claim if

there has been any damage.

2.4 - Operating the Mytee Lite™

Switching On The Unit

In order to avoid vapor locking the unit, the Mytee Lite’s™
components should be switched on by following the pro-

cedure below:

1. Turn pump switch on.

2. Pull the lever on the cleaning tool to release air in the

line. Hold lever until a steady ow of water comes out of

the wand.

3. Once pump is primed and there is pressure in the solu-

tion line, turn on heater switch and wait a few minutes for
water to heat up.

4. Once water is heated, turn on vacuum and begin clean-

ing.

Note: When cleaning upholstery, always check manufac-

turer’s cleaning instructions.

2.5 - Emptying the Solution & Recovery Tanks

13 2

Cleaning With The Mytee Lite™

For best results when extracting, do one wet pass followed
by two dry passes. This ensures you’re not over-soaking

the material and also gives the heater time to catch up.

The solution tank drain is located on the front, lower left
corner of the solution tank.

The recovery tank drain is located on the back of the
machine at the bottom of the recovery tank. Attach the
included recovery tank drain hose in order to easily empty
into a bucket or other receptacle. ♦

3 - MACHINE MAINTENANCE

New & Reconditioned Equipment & Parts - www.southeasternequipment.net

In order to keep the Mytee Lite™ running smoothly and
reduce the risk of damage to the machine and subsequent
downtime, Mytee recommends following the maintenance

schedule below:

Maintenance Item Daily Weekly

Clean and inspect tanks.

Clean and inspect hoses.

Check and clean internal lters.

Check power supply cable.

Clean machine with all-purpose

cleaner and cloth.

Check spray nozzles.

Flush solution system with Mytee

System Maintainer.

Inspect vacuum hoses for holes and

loose cus.

Inspect spray pattern for clogging.
If clogged, remove spray tips and

3.2 - System Maintainer

Weekly ushing 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:

1. Mix 1-quart 3601 System Maintainer with 1-quart of

warm water.

2. After thoroughly mixing, pour this solution into the solu­tion tank.

3. 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.

4. Next, turn on the heater. If the heater is turned on rst,
it will result in a vapor lock, which will aect the machine’s

operation.

5. 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.

6. After running all of the solution through the machine, ll

the tank with clean, warm water. Run the water through the
machine to clear the solution completely out of the tank &
lines. ♦

3.1 - Filter Maintenance

The Mytee Lite™ has a small lter on the top of the vac­uum stack in the recovery tank. This lter should be

checked and cleaned after each use. ♦

Take a picture of the layout
of the wires or tagging the
wires for future reference.
Switch the wires from the
vacuum switch with the
wires from either the pump
or heater switch. Turn on
the pump or heater switch

(whichever one you ex­changed wires with). If the

vacuum turns on, then you
know the vacuum switch is
bad.

Drain valve/cap is loose
and is causing air leakage.

Hose cus are loose and

causing air leakage.

Lid on tank is loose and is
causing air leakage.

Vacuum blows water out the exhaust.

Possible Causes Solutions

Foam building up in the

recovery tank.

There is a loud grinding noise coming from the

Possible Cause Solution

Debris has been sucked
into the vacuum motor
chamber. Usually results
from dry vacuuming.

Tighten the drain valve/cap.

Tighten all hose cus reg-

ularly as may loosen over
time. Use a glue to prevent

cus from coming loose
(optional).

Make sure the lid is tight.

Use a defoaming solution
in the recovery tank.

vacuum.

Replace the vacuum motor.
To avoid repeat problem,

DO NOT dry vacuum with

your extractor.

Vacuum is not producing suction.

Possible Causes Solutions

Recovery tank is full. Empty the recovery tank.

If the vacuum exhausts but
there is no suction, then
the hose from the recovery
tank to the vacuum motor
is disconnected.

Vacuum hose blockage

(if there is no suction or
exhaust).

Clogged lter in vacuum

tank.

Open the machine and nd

the hose running from the
recovery tank to the vacu­um motor. Check if it is dis­connected. If so, reconnect
it. If it has a leak, replace

the hose (Part # PH627 if

1.5”, PH628 if 2”).

Check for blockage in the
hose, starting from the
cleaning tool to the ma­chine.

Clean out lter regularly.

5.2 - Pump Troubleshooting

Pump doesn’t turn on.

Possible Causes Solutions

Bad switch at control
panel.

Loose or disconnected
wire.

Unbolt the switch plate.
We recommend taking a
picture of the layout of the
wires or tagging the wires
for future reference. Switch
the wires from the pump
switch with the wires from
either the vacuum or heater
switch. Turn on the vacuum

or heater switch (whichever

one you exchanged wires

with). If the pump turns on,

the pump switch is bad.

Disconnect the power cord
from the electrical outlet.

Open up the machine and
look for any loose or dis­connected wires. Re-at-

tach or replace wires.

Pump runs but there is no spray.

Possible Causes Solutions

On a new unit, the check

valve between the pump
and heater may hang up,

causing the ow of water to

be impeded or stop entire­ly.

Remove the check valve
temporarily and check to

see if the pump will ow

water out of the pump out­let hose when the pump is
turned on for a brief instant
in order to verify cause.
The remedy is to install a

new check valve. Observe
the proper orientation (ow
direction) of the check

valve.

Tip: the check valve may

be able to be temporari­ly returned to service by

un-sticking the check valve

poppet with manipulation
of the poppet ball with a
thin tool, like a straightened
paperclip. Replace the
check valve in unit assem­bl y.

Pump runs but there is no spray.

Possible Causes Solutions

Blockage or kink some­where in the line.

Air is in the pump. Prime the pump.

See chart on page 4 of the

Diaphragm Pump Trouble­shooting Guide to diagnose

the location of the block­age.

Remove QD o the ma-

chine and solution hose.

Make sure that the three-

prong clip on the inside of
the threaded end is evenly
aligned below the thread of
the QD.

NEVER OPERATE A UNIT
WITHOUT A CHECK
VALVE IN PLACE.

Pump runs for a second then shuts down.

Possible Causes Solutions

QD is pressure locked. Relieve pressure from be-

hind the QD by pressing in
the button inside the QD.

Low PSI.

Possible Causes Solutions

The jet nozzle could be too
large.

Replace the jet with one
that has a smaller opening.

Pump doesn’t stop running.

Possible Causes Solutions

Leak somewhere in the
line.

Cracks or vacuum leaks on
inlet side of pump.

Seals have been degraded
by chemical.

Debris blocking inlet lter

or pump head.

Pump trips circuit breaker when turned on.

Possible Causes Solutions

Short in power switch. Test by swapping vacuum

Short in electrical harness.

Disconnect the solution
hose from the machine. If
this causes the pump to
stop running then the prob­lem is outside the machine,
either in the solution hose
or tool. If it continues run­ning on, open the machine
and check for leaks. Repair
the leak. If there are no
leaks, run Mytee’s System

Maintainer™ (Part # 3601)

through the machine to
clear blockages.

Make sure hoses are
secured tightly. If the inlet
side of the pump is cracked
or damaged, replace the
pump.

Install seal repair kit.

Clean lter and/or pump

head.

begins tripping breaker, re-

place switch (Part #E515).

Risk of electric shock. Do
this at your own risk.

Remove pump from circuit
by attaching power leads
together. If breaker still
pops when switch is tog­gled, then there is a short
to the ground in the circuit.
Replace wires as needed.

Short in pump motor. If switch and harness

check is OK, the short

may be in the pump motor.
Replace pump.
