IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
TheMX 585 MUL TIis only suitable f or commercial use, for example in hotels, schools, hospitals, f actories, shops, and offi ces. TheMX 585 MULTI is not intended for normal residential housekeeping purposes.
NOTE: Read all instructions before using this machine.
When using any electrical appliance, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following warnings:
WARNING!
To reduce the risk of fi re, electric shock, or injury:
Do not leave the machine unattended when it is plugged in. Unplug the unit from the outlet when
not in use and before servicing.
Never turn on the solution pump without fi rst connecting either the priming hose or your solution hose to your machine and to your tool.
Always turn off the pump and release the pressure in the pump before disconnecting hoses
To avoid electric shock, do not expose to rain or snow. Use and store indoors.
Always use solution with a pH between 5 and 10
Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when used near children.
Use only as described in this manual. Use only the manufacturer’s recommended attachments.
Never add water over 54 °C/130 °F to the solution tank.
Do not use with damaged cord or plug. If the machine is not working as it should, has been dropped,
damaged, left outdoors or dropped into water, return it to a service center.
Do not pull by the cord, use the cord as a handle, close a door on the cord, or pull the cord around sharp edges or corners. Do not run the machine over the cord. Keep the cord away from heated surfaces. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.
Do not handle the plug, the cord, or the machine with wet hands.
Extension cords must be 12/3 and no longer than 50 feet. Replace the cord or unplug immediately
if the ground prong becomes damaged.
Do not put any object into openings. Do not use with any opening blocked; keep free of dust, lint, hair, and anything that may reduce air fl ow.
Keep loose clothing, hair, ngers, and all parts of body away from openings and moving parts.
Do not pick up anything that is burning or smoking, such as cigarettes, matches, hot ashes, or any
health endangering dusts. Do not use to pick up fl ammable or combustible liquids such as gasoline or use in areas where these liquids may be present.
Turn off all controls before unplugging.
Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.
Connect to a properly grounded outlet only.
Liquid ejected at the spray nozzle could be dangerous as a result of its temperature, pressure, or
chemical content.

INSPECTION:
Carefully unpack and inspect your MX 585 MULTI for shipping damage. Each machine is tested and in­spected before shipping. Any shipping damage incurred is the responsibility of the carrier. You should notify the carrier immediately if you notice damage to the box, the machine, or its parts.
CLEANING SOLUTIONS:
We recommend liquid cleaning chemicals. Powder chemicals may be used, but unless mixed very thor­oughly they could cause a build-up in the pump, lines, and quick disconnects. Any problem caused by a chemical build-up is not covered by warranty. Use a neutral cleaner with a pH between 5 and 10 to avoid premature wear of the pump, seals, and/or other components. It is a good idea to test an inconspicuous area of the fl oor .
DANGER: DO NOT USE SOLVENTS, OR ANY CHEMICALS THAT MAY BE
FLAMMABLE, EXPLOSIVE OR COMBUSTIBLE.
MAINTENANCE:
For optimum performance fl ush the machine with clear water at the end of each working day. Once a month, minimum, run a fl ushing compound through the machine to break up any mineral or chemical build-up that may have formed. The vacuum motor and the pump do not require any scheduled main­tenance; however, the motor may require replacement brushes after 1000 - 1500 hours. Clean the body with an all-purpose detergent, and protect it with an automobile interior polish. Lubricate the wheels, castors, and quick disconnects with an all purpose silicone spray.
PARTS AND SERVICE:
Repairs, when required, should be performed by your authorized distributor who maintains an inventory of original replacement parts and accessories. Call the distributor from whom you purchased this machine
if you need parts or service. Be sure to specify the machine model. Have your serial number handy.

SET-UP & OPERATION
1. Before each use, inspect the machine, hoses, and cleaning tools for cleanliness and completeness. Make sure hoses are in good condition and the spray nozzle(s) is tight.
2. If not using the auto-dump feature, just make sure the brass cap is on the drain hose connector on the front of the base of the machine.
If you choose to use the auto-dump feature, remove the brass cover on the hose connector on the front of base of the machine, attach a hose, and place the open end of the hose in a drain. Make sure the recovery tank drain gate is closed, and the lid is tight on the recovery tank.
3. If you choose not to use the auto-fi ll feature, just ll the tank with water and cleaning chemical. Follow chemical directions regarding dilution and mixing. Do not use harsh chemicals; they may damage seals in pumps and valves, and cause the pump to wear prematurely. .
If you choose to use the auto-fi ll feature, connect the fi ll hose to the auto-fi ll connector (located over the solution tank fi ll hole). Turn on the water source -- HIGH PRESSURE IS NOT NECESSARY -- and allow the tank to fi ll with water. When using the auto-fi ll system, the auto-fi ll fl oat will automatically turn on and turn off as the tank empties and then fi lls.
NOTE: Never put water with a temperature exceeding 54
4. Pre-spray the area to be cleaned, with a pump-up sprayer, while the tank is lling. Follow chemical
directions.

C in the solution tank
5. Plug in the two power cords. Do not connect both cords to the same outlet. The green, ‘separate circuit’ locator light (1) on the switch plate should light up. If the locator light does not come on, check the circuit breaker box in the wall, and/or try different outlets until it does turn on. Although all systems in the machine may work correctly if you are not on two circuits, a circuit breaker in a wall panel may trip. If you make sure the green light is turned on, you will prevent tripped circuit breakers.
6. Prime the 1200 psi pump: fi ll the solution tank with water, if not already done, and turn on the pump. You may notice a ‘tone’ change in the sound of the pump (smoother, with less of a rattle).
CAUTION -- NEVER TURN ON THE SOLUTION PUMP BEFORE CONNECTING YOUR
SOLUTION LINE TO YOUR MACHINE AND TO YOUR TOOL. If the pump builds pressure before you connect the hose and tool, you will not be able to connect them.
7. Use defoamer to prevent foam.
8. Attach the solution spray hose to the solution quick disconnect. Attach the vacuum hose to the hose
barb on the front of the recovery tank. Connect the other ends of the hoses to the tool.
9. Turn on the vacuum (2) and turn on the dump pump (3). Begin spraying.
10. When the job is nished, turn off the water source. Vacuum the remaining solution from the solution
tank into the recovery tank.
11. Run a few gallons of clean water through the system. Drain the recovery tank by opening the drain gate over a bucket or drain. Disconnect the hoses from the cleaning tool.
12. Unplug the power cords.
13. Clean the machine and the tool. Never store your machine outside, and keep it from extremes in
temperatures.

AUTO VACUUM SHUTOFF:
When the recovery tank is full, the ball fl oat will shut-off the suction to prevent the machine from overfl owing. NOTE: the fl oat may not work if there is foam in the tank. Always use defoamer to
prevent overfl ow
AUTO-FILL
1 Operation:
Attach a garden hose to the auto-fi ll valve, and connect the other end of the hose to your water source.
• Make sure the fl oat that hangs from the auto-fi ll valve into the tank is free of obstruction and can move freely.
• Turn the water supply on. NOTE: high pressure is not necessary.
• The auto-fi ll fl oat will automatically shut-off the fl ow of incoming water when the solution tank is nearly full, and it will allow the valve to open again once the water level has dropped to a predetermined level.
AUTO-DUMP
1 Operation:
Before each use: if necessary, unscrew the stainless steel fi lter at the bottom of the recovery tank and clean it. Also make sure the fl oat in the recovery tank is clean.
Attach a garden hose to the dump pump outlet fi tting on the front of the base of the machine.
Run the other end of the hose into a drain.
Turn ON the dump pump switch (switch is located on the switch panel on the top of the machine).
NOTE: the dump pump is ‘self-priming.’ You should see water start to fl ow within 30 seconds of the pump turning on. If water does not begin to fl ow, check the fi lter to see if it is plugged with debris.
After each job: run clear water though the dump pump to wash out any chemical residue. Remove and clean the stainless steel fi lter in the back of the tank. Reinstall the fi lter once it is clean. Clean and empty the recovery tank.
DANGER: DO NOT USE SOLVENTS, OR ANY CHEMICALS THAT MAY BE
FLAMMABLE, EXPLOSIVE, OR COMBUSTIBLE. CAUTION: always use a defoamer in the recovery tank to prevent water or foam from entering the vacuum motor.
CAUTION: Use care when handling hazardous chemicals. CAUTION: Never put water hotter than 54 °C in the holding tank. CAUTION: Never leave the 1200 psi pump running when you are not actively
using it.
