BASIC OPERATION
Before using the Mopit 3.0 you need to fill it with water and cleaning
solution.
Filling The Fresh Water Tank
This is where you fill the Mopit with
water. It is best to add the cleaning
solution before you add the water,
this promotes thorough mixing. It is
ok to let water stay in the fresh water tank for an extended period of
time.
Using Mopit Cleaning Solution
Mopit cleaning solution is very concentrated. It only takes one ounce of solution per Mopit fill. The 1/2 gallon of
Mopit cleaning solution should fill your
Mopit 64 times.
Fill the one ounce measuring cup
(included) with the Mopit cleaning solution
and dump it into the fill screen.

BASIC OPERATION
Water Level Gauge
This is the water level gauge.
Hint: When the fresh water
is to the top of the fill screen
the water level is above the
top of the water level gauge.
This is normal.
Now that the Mopit is full of
water we can turn it on and
use it.
The Mopit Has 3
Switches
The Brush Switch
The Water Switch
The Vacuum Switch
Simply turn on all three
switches and walk.
The water switch will work
only when both the brush
and water switches are on.
You can use the brush and
water without having the
vacuum on for deep scrubbing, or you can use the brush and vacuum
without the water, for pickup-only mode.
When operating the Mopit you may walk at a normal pace.

Scan this QR code with your smart phone to watch how to
drain the dirty water. You can view all of our Mopit movies
on the “Mopit Channel” at www.youtube.com.
BASIC OPERATION
Draining The Dirty Water
This is the dirty water drain hose
Simply remove the cap and let the drain hose
down onto a floor drain. After draining, be
sure to put the cap on tightly. If the cap is not
screwed on tightly the machine will lose suction power. It is important to drain the dirty
water tank after each use. If dirty water sits in
your dirty water tank for an extended period
of time, your machine will start to stink.
Manual Water Control
Valve
The water control valve controls
how much water goes into the
drip tray. If, when you turn corners sharply, water spills over
the edge of the brush hood,
close the valve a little to lower
the water level in the drip tray.
OPEN
The water valve is on when the black valve handle is parallel to the
floor, and off when the handle is pointing to the floor.
Transporting The Mopit
When moving the Mopit, tip it on it’s back transport wheels and move it
like an upright floor vacuum.

BASIC OPERATION
Squeegee Lift
All Mopit 3.0s are
equipped with a squeegee lift. The squeegee
lift is used for deep
cleaning. It allows you
to make multiple
passes without picking
up the water on the
floor. This is called
double scrubbing.
When the handle is pointing down, the squeegee is up, and the machine
is ready to double scrub. When the handle is pointing up, the squeegee
is down. When double scrubbing you may shut off the vacuum to pre-
serve battery life. When you lower the squeegee, turn on the vacuum to
pick up the water.
Charging The Mopit
The Mopit is battery operated. It
should be plugged in whenever it
is not being used. The on-board
battery charger is automatic. It
will turn off when the batteries
are charged. You do not need to
wait until the batteries are fully
charged to use the Mopit. You
do not need to run the batteries
down before you can charge the Mopit.

clean the water filter. You can view all of our Mopit movies
on the “Mopit Channel” at www.youtube.com.
BASIC OPERATION
Draining The Fresh Water Tank
Occasionally you may need to drain the fresh water tank. The tank will
need to be drained before shipping. There is no harm in leaving water in
the fresh water tank for an extended period of time. You will want to
have the machine outside or positioned over a floor drain when you
drain the tank.
To drain the fresh water tank, tip the machine on it’s back and pull off
the white silicone tubing attached to the water valve. This tubing is easy
to pull off with just your fingers. Once the tubing is off, open the water
valve all the way. And tip the Mopit right side up. If the fresh water tank
is full it may take as long as 15
minutes for it to drain.
Once the fresh water is drained,
slide the tubing back onto the
valve.
Cleaning The Water Filter
When you are not getting
enough water to the drip tray,
clean the water filter. Pull the
filter housing out of the silicone
tubing and twist the housing
apart. Pull the filter out and
rinse it under running water.
Install with the thickest part of
the housing closest to the water
valve.

MAINTENANCE / SERVICE
Changing The Squeegee Blade
On average the squeegee blade will need to be changed every 6-8 weeks. If the
machine is leaving streaks, and not picking up all of the water, or the Mopit is
not cleaning very well, check your squeegee blade for
wear.
How to replace the squeegee blade
1. Tip the machine on it’s back
2. Pull the retaining clip and remove the pin
3. Pull the black squeegee hose off of the squeegee assembly
4. Remove the wing nuts on the
squeegee bar
5. Remove the 2 squeegee inserts. If
necessary you may tap the wing
nut bolts from the back side of
squeegee to help with removal
6. Remove old squeegee blade
7. Replace plastic squeegee
wheels
8. Install in reverse order
9. Make sure the
notched side of the
squeegee blade is
facing to the front,
closest to the brush
