IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

TheMX 585 MULTIis only suitable for commercial use, for example in hotels, schools, hospitals, factories,

shops, and ofﬁces. 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 ﬁre, 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 ﬁrst 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 ﬂow.

•Keep loose clothing, hair, ﬁngers, 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 ﬂammable 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 in-

spected 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 thor-

oughly 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 ﬂoor.

MAINTENANCE:

For optimum performance ﬂush the machine with clear water at the end of each working day. Once a

month, minimum, run a ﬂushing 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 main-

tenance; 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-ﬁll feature, just ﬁll 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-ﬁll feature, connect the ﬁll hose to the auto-ﬁll connector (located over

the solution tank ﬁll hole). Turn on the water source -- HIGH PRESSURE IS NOT NECESSARY --

and allow the tank to ﬁll with water. When using the auto-ﬁll system, the auto-ﬁll ﬂoat will

automatically turn on and turn off as the tank empties and then ﬁlls.

NOTE: Never put water with a temperature exceeding 54 °C in the solution tank

4. Pre-spray the area to be cleaned, with a pump-up sprayer, while the tank is ﬁlling. Follow chemical

directions.

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: ﬁll 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 ﬁnished, 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.

1 Operation:

•Attach a garden hose to the auto-ﬁll valve, and connect the other end of the hose to your water source.

• Make sure the ﬂoat that hangs from the auto-ﬁll 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-ﬁll ﬂoat will automatically shut-off the ﬂow 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-FILL

1 Operation:

•Before each use: if necessary, unscrew the stainless steel ﬁlter at the bottom of the recovery

tank and clean it. Also make sure the ﬂoat in the recovery tank is clean.

•Attach a garden hose to the dump pump outlet ﬁtting 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 ﬂow within 30 seconds of

the pump turning on. If water does not begin to ﬂow, check the ﬁlter 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 ﬁlter in the back of the tank. Reinstall the ﬁlter once it is clean.

Clean and empty the recovery tank.

AUTO-DUMP

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.

AUTO VACUUM SHUTOFF:

When the recovery tank is full, the ball ﬂoat will shut-off the suction to prevent the machine from

overﬂowing. NOTE: the ﬂoat may not work if there is foam in the tank. Always use defoamer to

prevent overﬂow
