BASIC OPERATION

WARNING!!!!

 Do Not Use or Pick Up Flammable Materials with the Mopit.

 Do Not Use Mopit Near Flammable

Liquids or Vapors.

 Disconnect Battery Cables and

Charger Cord Before Servicing.

 Do Not Use or Store Outdoors.

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 after you have filled the tank with water. 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 for normal cleaning. For greasy floors you can use 2-3 ounces of solution per

Mopit fill.

The fresh water tank cap is a one ounce measuring cup, you can also order a one ounce per pump dispenser by calling us at 1-800-290-

2833

Page 5

BASIC OPERATION

Water Level Gauge

This is the water level gauge.

Even though the gauge shows 4 gallons the actual fresh water capacity is 5 gallons.

The Mopit Has 3

Switches

The Brush Switch

The Solution Switch

The Vacuum Switch

Simply turn on all three switches and walk.

The water switch will work only when both the vacuum and water switches are on. The brush switch has a normal scrubbing and a deep scrubbing position. When the brush is in the normal scrubbing mode, the brush helps to pull the Mopit forward. When the brush is in deep scrubbing mode you are pushing the Mopit against the brush, so it will be slightly harder to push. When the Mopit is in the deep scrubbing mode it will push water in front of the brush, and it will leave water when you turn corners. To eliminate water left on turns simply switch the brush to normal scrubbing mode as you turn corners.

When operating the Mopit you may walk at a normal pace.

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.

Water Valve

The water control valve controls how much water goes onto the floor.

The water valve is full on when the black valve handle is horizontal, and full off when the handle is vertical.

To lower water output, position the valve between full on and full off.

Transporting The Mopit

When moving the Mopit, tip it on it’s back transport wheels and move it like an upright floor vacuum.

Page 7

BASIC OPERATION

Squeegee Lift

Pedal

The squeegee lift pedal is used for deep cleaning. It allows you to make multiple scrubbing passes without picking up the water on the floor. This is called double scrubbing. To lift the squeegee, push the pedal down and slide it to the left. To drop the squeegee, push the pedal down and slide it to the right.

Charging The Mopit

The Mopit is battery operated. The charger should be plugged into the

Mopit whenever it is not being used. The battery charger can be constantly plugged into the wall. 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. To charge the Mopit make sure that the charger is plugged into the wall, then plug the large red

Anderson connector into the Mopit. The battery charger is equipped with a break-away connection, to protect the charger.

MAINTENANCE / SERVICE

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 tank pull off the tubing from the brass hose fitting, and the water will immediately begin rushing out of the tank.

Cleaning The Water Filter

When you are not getting enough water onto the floor, clean the water filter. Before you clean the fresh water filter make sure that the water valve that is just above the filter, is turned off. Open the battery cover by opening the bolt latch. Pull off the tubing connected to the solenoid.

Unscrew the base of the filter housing and remove the filter. Wash the filter out in running water, and reassemble. Don’t forget to open the manual water valve.

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. The squeegee blades are reversible, so you can reverse the blade for longer squeegee life.

Often you will only need to change the rear blade, as the front blade is a more durable material, and should last much longer than the rear blade. The front and rear squeegee blades have different bead shapes. The rear blade bead is round and the front blade bead is triangle, so you cannot install the blades backwards.

1. Tip the Mopit on its back

2. Remove the squeegee wheel

3. Slide out the old blades

4. Slide in reversed, or replacement blades

5. Replace squeegee wheels if worn

Adjusting The Brush Pressure

WARNING: Adjusting the brush too low can damage the brush motor and lessen the cleaning performance.

As the scrub brush wears, your brush pressure on the floor will lessen. To compensate for brush wear, adjust the wheels to lower the brush head.

To adjust the brush pressure, tip the machine on its back.

Insert a the included 5/32

Allen wrench into the wheel block windows.

Turn the Allen wrench counterclockwise one complete turn. Adjust both wheels by the same amount.

IMPORTANT: You must adjust each wheel by the same amount. Failure to do so will cause un-even brush wear. If you don’t know if the wheels have both been evenly adjusted, turn the screw as far as you can clockwise, then begin again to adjust each wheel counterclockwise by the same amount. It is wise, with each full turn of the screw, to stand the machine back up and check the brush deflection from the side of the machine. We recommend one inch of

brush of the brush touching the floor but only a 1/4 inch of the brush height on the floor. Check the brush deflection from the sides of the brush hood while the brush is spinning. Brush deflection means the amount of

the brush touching the floor. It is easiest to see using a flashlight.

Belt Replacement And Tensioning

1. Tip the Mopit on its back

2. Remove belt cover with a 7/16” socket

3. Loosen these two 1/8” Allen screws with a 3/16” Allen wrench twist the belt tensioning screw counter clockwise

4. Remove old belt

5. Installation is the above steps in reverse

Cleaning The Recovery Tank

If the recovery tank is not cleaned out regularly the Mopit will begin to stink when used. To clean, remove the clean out access cap by twisting it counterclockwise. Open the drain hose and place it over a floor drain.

Use a hose with a sprayer to spray out the recovery tank. Spray the

Vacuum ball screen. It may also help to back flush the drain hose.

After spraying out the tank, use a trigger sprayer to spray undiluted bleach all over the inside of the recovery tank. Let the tank sit with the clean out cap and drain hose cap off until the inside of the recovery tank is dry. If your machine still has a foul odor order some Mopit deodorizer from Spectrum.

Replacing The Battery Pack

A properly cared for lead acid battery pack should last for 800 charging cycles, which is generally 4-5 years.

IMPORTANT: It is critical that the batteries be replaced with sealed gel cell or AGM type lead acid type batteries. Standard wet lead acid batteries will leak, and may be explosive. If you have questions about replacement batteries call

Spectrum at1-800 290 2833.

To change out the battery pack, you will need a Phillips screw driver and two

7/16” wrenches.

1. Drain the fresh water, and recovery tanks

2. Turn off the manual water valve

3. Open the battery cover door and pull off the tubing that connects to the fresh water filter to the solenoid

4. Close the battery cover

5. Remove these 4 screws. There are two screws on each side

You do not need to remove either of the plastic tanks for motor replacement.

It is easiest to replace the brush motor with the Mopit on its back.

You will need a 7/16 socket, 5/32, 1/8, and 3/16 Allen wrenches

1. Follow the steps on page 11 to remove the belt

2. Remove the two pulleys by using a 1/8 Allen wrench to remove the set screws

3. Remove the five Allen bolts using a 5/32 Allen wrench

4. Pull the brush motor plate out of the machine. There is enough wire on the brush motor so you should be able to set the whole assembly on the ground without disconnecting the wiring

5. Remove the two motor screws using a 1/8 Allen wrench

6. Replacement is the above steps in reverse

7. HINTS: Make sure that the motor pulley is touching only the motor shaft, not the motor base. Make sure that you tighten the set screws onto the flats of the shafts.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Not Getting Any Water

1. Make sure the vacuum and solution switches are both on

2. Check to make sure the manual water valve (pg 6) is turned on.

3. Check to make sure there is water in the fresh water tank.

4. Check to make sure you are getting water past the fresh water filter. Pull off the tubing below the filter and open the manual water valve to make sure water comes out.

5. Check to make sure that the solenoid “clicks when you turn on the vacuum motor and flip the solution switch on and off.

6. Replace the drip tube. See page 18

7. Call Spectrum for additional troubleshooting

Mopit Batteries Not Charging

Call Spectrum for troubleshooting. Also see page 17 on charger replacement.

Mopit Is Leaving Black Marks

The most common cause is not getting water onto the floor. Black marks can also be caused by missing or worn squeegee wheels. See above for how to fix water issues and page 9 for squeegee replacement.

Mopit Machine Smells When I Use It

The Mopit will stink when the recovery tank is not cleaned out regularly. See page 13 for how to clean the tank.

Mopit Machine Is Shocking Me When In Use

Shocking happens when no water is getting to the floor. The static electricity from the spinning brush causes the shocking. To fix this issue follow page 20 on not getting any water.

Page 21

TROUBLESHOOTING

Mopit Machine Leaks When Not In Use

The most common cause for this is a faulty solenoid. Until we can get you a new solenoid simply turn off the manual water valve (pg 6) when the Mopit is not in use. Also see solenoid replacement (pg 19). The leak may also be coming from a drain hose that has a hole in it.

Mopit Not Cleaning Well

Several factors determine how well the Mopit will clean.

1. Water: use hot water for best cleaning. If no water is getting on the floor or the water delivery is uneven, the cleaning will be poor. See page 20 Not Getting Any Water, to make sure water delivery is working

2. Brush Pressure: see adjusting and checking brush pressure (pg 10)

3. Suction and water recovery: If your machine is not sucking up the water well, see page 22 for help. You can also lift the squeegee to double scrub very dirty areas see page 7 (Squeegee pedal)

4. Battery Charge: If your battery is weak you won’t have much suction or scrubbing power. See page 7 on battery charging

5. For more help call Spectrum 1-800-290-2833

Page 22


TROUBLESHOOTING

My Mopit Is Not Picking Up Water

If the Mopit is not picking up water, there is an issue with the water recovery system. Here are the things to check:

1. Check the squeegee blades for wear and replace if necessary (pg 9)

2. Make sure the squeegee lift is in the down position (pg 7)

3. Make sure the drain hose cap is screwed on tightly

4. Make sure the Squeegee hose is firmly inserted into the hose receiver

5. Check the vacuum tube for obstructions

6. Flush water down the Squeegee hose to clear any clogs

7. Make sure the dirty water tank clean out cap is on (pg 13)

8. Make sure the dirty water tank is empty

9. Check the Vacuum ball screen inside the dirty water tank. Make sure the ball inside the screen is at the bottom, not stuck in the top.

If stuck, spray as shown on page 13

10. Turn on the Vacuum switch and feel the squeegee hole for suction

11. Make sure the squeegee horn is clear

12. Make sure both squeegee wheels are on, and are not worn. The wheels should be replaced each time the squeegee is replaced. They are included in each squeegee replacement kit
