IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Grounding Instructions

This machine must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break down, 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.

DANGER

Improper installation of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Be sure to check with a qualified electrician or service person if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. If the plug will not fit in the outlet do not modify the plug on the machine's cord, instead have a proper outlet installed by a qualified 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 qualified 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.

DO NOT use extension cords.

Please Note for America use only.

Each power cord on the Air Hog™ requires a grounded 15 amp outlet. The dual circuit indicator light and tone will activate when this is achieved.

2.2 - Connecting Hoses

Garden hose quick connect

Use the included H141V or H110V female Cuff-Lynx™ Hose Connectors to connect 1.5" or 2" vacuum hose to the Cuff-Lynx™ starter on the front of the Air Hog™. The included H136V male Cuff-Lynx™ Connector can be used to connect 2" vacuum hose to either rear booster port. To attach a garden hose for use with the pump-out, thread the included garden hose quick connect onto the garden hose. The hose can then easily snap onto the Air Hog's™ pump-out fitting.

2.3 - Air Hog™ Booster Configurations

The Air Hog™ can be set up as a booster in multiple configurations on its own or daisy-chained with other Air Hogs™. See page 11 for more details.

2.4 - Using the Air Hog™ as a Stand-Alone Extractor

The Air Hog™ can also be set up as a stand-alone extractor. See page 12 for more details.

2.5 - Emptying the Recovery Tank

Line drawing of a cleaning or cleaning machine with attached electrical panel and control panel (no text or symbols)

The recovery tank can be emptied using the pump-out feature. Attach a garden hose to the pump-out fitting, place the other end of the hose in a drain or receptacle, and press the PUMP-OUT switch on the switchplate.

2.6 - Setting Up the Air Hog™ as a Booster

Using One Booster If pump-out is to be used. Always cap unused rear booster port.

If the pump-out will be used, connect vacuum hose from extractor to top rear booster port and cap the bottom one. If not, connect hose to the bottom rear booster port and cap the top one. Recovered water will flow through the Air Hog™ to the extractor.

IMPORTANT: If the base extractor is not powerful enough to overcome the Air Hog's™ suction, use just one of the Air Hog's™ vacuums.

Daisy-Chaining Multiple Boosters If pump-out is to be used. Always cap unused rear booster port.

If the pump-out will be used, connect vacuum hose from extractor to top rear booster port and cap the bottom one. If not, connect hose to the bottom rear booster port and cap the top one. Recovered water will flow through the Air Hog™ to the extractor.

Place each Air Hog™ after at least 50 feet of hose in order to maintain suction on very long hose runs.

IMPORTANT: If the base extractor is not powerful enough to overcome the Air Hog's™ suction, use just one of the Air Hog's™ vacuums.

2.7 - Setting Up the Air Hog™ as a Stand-Alone Extractor

Both booster ports plugged.

The Air Hog ^™ does not have a solution tank or solution pump. However, it can be used to extract pre-sprayed solution from carpet.

With both booster ports plugged, attach a carpet wand via vacuum hose and attach a garden hose to the pump-out fitting (if pump-out is to be used). Switch on the vacuum (and pump-out, if desired) and begin extraction.

In order to keep the Air Hog ^™ running smoothly and reduce the risk of damage to the machine and subsequent downtime, Mytee recommends following the maintenance schedule below:

3.2 - Ball Float Maintenance

The ball float prevents recovered dirty water from rising too high and damaging the vacuum motors. Check regularly to make sure the mesh screen is free of debris.

Maintenance Item Daily Weekly

5.1 - Vacuum Troubleshooting

Vacuum is not turning on.
Possible Cause Solution
Vacuum may not be getting power.	Check the electrical connections and the switch.Look for loose or damaged wires.To check the switch:Unbolt the switch plate.Take a picture of the layout of the wires or tag the wires for future reference. Switch the wires from the vacuum switch with the wires from the pump-out switch. Turn on the pump-out switch.If the vacuum turns on,then you know the vacuum switch is bad.

Vacuum is not producing suction.
Possible Causes Solutions	the recovery tank.
Recovery tank is full. Empty	Open the machine and find 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").
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).	Check for blockage in the hose, starting from the cleaning tool to the machine.
Clogged filter in vacuum tank.	Clean out filter regularly.
Hose cuffs are loose and causing air leakage.	Tighten all hose cuffs regularly as may loosen over time. Use a glue to prevet cuffs from coming loose (optional).
Lid on tank is loose and is causing air leakage.	Make sure the lid is tight.

Vacuum blows water out the exhaust.
Possible Causes Solutions
Foam building up in the recovery tank.	Use Mytee’s Auto Defoamer Kit (Part # A688).

Boot behind vacuum port is turned the wrong way.

Make sure this plastic boot is turned toward the right wall of the machine and not toward the ball float.

There is a loud grinding noise coming from the vacuum.
Possible Cause Solution
Debris has been sucked into the vacuum motor chamber. Usually results from dry vacuuming.	Replace the vacuum motor. To avoid repeat problem, DO NOT dry vacuum with your extractor.

5.2 - Pump-Out Troubleshooting

No water flow from pump-out.
Possible Causes Solutions
Filter is clogged. Clean the filter.
Kinked hose inside the machine.	Open the machine and check hoses. If any hoses are kinked, undo the kink.
