THE HARNESS
• The harness should be put over your shoulders like a backpack. There are
two adjustable straps which can be pulled to tighten the shoulder supports to a
comfortable user level.
• The sternum clip oers extra support and is tightened by pulling the adjustment strap.
• The velcro belt strap can be fastened across your abdomen or if you prefer not to
use this make sure this is fixed behind you, then the shoulder straps only can be used
without the belt.
CHANGING A MOTORSCRUBBER BRUSH
• Line-up the tabs on the disc with the hub on the MotorScrubber.
• Hold the hub to prevent rotation. Press down while turning the disc clockwise until
it locks in place.
• To remove, press down on the disc and turn it counter-clockwise holding hub until
tabs are free. Then lift o the disc.

CLEANING WITH THE MOTORSCRUBBER
• Apply soap/cleaning solution to the surface with a sprayer or directly to the scrub
disc. You may also mix soap concentrate in a bucket and dip the scrub head into the
bucket.
• Scrub with straight, light strokes. You do not have to exert pressure. MotorScrubber
will do the work.
• DO NOT USE MOTORSCRUBBER WITH FLAMMABLE CLEANING FLUIDS.
• AUTOMATIC SHUT-OFF: MotorScrubber is equipped with a self-resetting circuit
breaker to prevent damage to the motor. If the unit is stalled, the circuit breaker will
interrupt the electrical power from your 12-volt battery. Remove MotorScrubber from
the work surface. The circuit breaker will re-set in 6 to 10 seconds. Resume using
MotorScrubber.
UNDERWATER USE
• Because its motor head can be fully-immersed in water,
the MotorScrubber is ideal for many underwater cleaning
tasks. One of the more popular uses of the MotorScrubber
is cleaning the “scum line” above the water level in
swimming pools, spas, boats, etc.
• mmersing the head for long periods of time could aect
its water-proofing seals due to the eects of prolonged
heating and cooling. The seals could contract and allow
water to make direct contact with the motor, which would
cause a motor failure. Guidelines need to be followed to
avoid this.
• The seals should be inspected before each use to check
for signs of corrosion that would compromise its water
tightness. If the unit is used underwater on a regular
basis an internal inspection of the head is required each
month by a competent technician, this is to check for water
ingress.
 WE RECOMMEND NOT USING THE MOTORSCRUBBER
FULLY SUBMERGED IN WATER FOR MORE THAN
2 MINUTES CONTINUOUSLY. MOTORSCRUBBER
SHOULD THEN BE REMOVED AND ALLOWED TO COOL
FOR 5 MINUTES.
• Waterline cleaning where MotorScrubber is half in and half
out of the water has no limitations.
• Regular underwater usage will reduce the lifetime of
the head unit. MS4000 complete motor head can be
purchased and replaced when required. 1 year is the
suggested life of regular underwater use.

BATTERY INFORMATION
The battery should be charged before using your MotorScrubber, after each use, and if
unused for 4 months. A full charge takes 8 hours. First, connect the coil cord into the
charger and then plug the charger directly into a 120 VAC/60HZ or 240 VAC electrical
outlet or use an adapter or a charger made for the AC source being used. (Do not
use an extension cord). After charging, disconnect the charger from the AC outlet and
(IMPORTANT) disconnect the charger from the battery.
There are two sources of battery power for the MotorScrubber: (A) the rechargeable
battery pack with harness; and (B) a 25-foot cord (MS-1025) which connects to the boat/
vehicle 12-volt DC battery supply via MS-1022 or MS-1020.
• MotorScrubber uses a rechargeable sealed lead-acid battery
• Capacity: 12-volt, 7.0 amp-hour
• Non-spillable
The battery pack contains a fuse for protection against a short circuit. If your MotorScrubber
will not run, open the fuse holder in the battery pack and check the fuse. Replace if
necessary with: 30 AMP-32 VOLT, ABC GLASS FUSE (MSS038).
• Do not charge in a gas-tight container
• Do not short the battery terminals
• Do not incinerate
• Flush with water at once if contact is made with electrolyte (acid)
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR BATTERY & CHARGER
• To protect against risk of electrical shock do not put battery charger in water or any
other liquid.
• Do not operate in the presence of explosives and/or flammable fumes or liquids.
• Do not store or carry battery so that metal objects can contact battery terminals - the
battery could short circuit causing fire, personal injury or damage to the battery.
• Never attempt to open battery for any reason. If the housing of the battery breaks
or cracks, immediately discontinue use and do not recharge. The battery should be
replaced.
• Do not charge a battery if it is wet or shows any evidence of corrosion.
• Do not incinerate the battery; it can explode in a fire.
• Plug the battery charger directly into a 120VAC/60HZ or 240VAC, with the correct
plug adaptor, electrical outlet (Do not use an extension cord).
• Charge the battery only with the MotorScrubber battery charger.
• Do not use the charger in wet or damp conditions. It is intended for indoor use only.
Do not use the charger near sinks or tubs. Do not immerse in water.

7
• Do not allow the cord to hang over the edge of a table or counter, or touch hot
surfaces.
• Do not use charger for any other uses other than MotorScrubber batteries; other
batteries may explode.
• Do not operate charger with damaged cord or plug, have them replaced immediately.
• Do not operate charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped or otherwise
damaged in any way. Return the appliance to your local distributor for examination,
repair or electrical or mechanical adjustment. Do not disassemble charger.
• For best results do not charge a battery when it or air temperature is below 40°F (5°C)
or above 105°F (40°C).
• Unplug the charger when not in use and before cleaning or maintenance.
• Do not abuse the cord. To reduce the risk of damage to the electric plug or cord,
never carry the charger by its cord or yank the cord to disconnect. Instead, grasp
the charger plug and pull to disconnect. Keep charger cord away from heat, oil and
sharp edges.
 NEVER ATTEMPT TO OPERATE THE MOTORSCRUBBER FROM AN ELECTRICAL
OUTLET. OPERATE THE MOTORSCRUBBER ONLY FROM THE 12VOLT BATTERY.
TROUBLESHOOTING
If your MotorScrubber is not turning on or is turning slowly:
1. First, check battery terminals are connected properly and motor to handle plugs
are connected securely. Next, using a voltmeter, simply open the battery pack,
disconnect the two leads at the battery, and touch the voltmeter probes to the
terminals accordingly. A satisfactory reading would be approximately 11.5 to 13 volts.
2. If the battery tests as satisfactory, the motor should be tested next. Disconnect the
plug between the handle and the motor (wrap cord from handle with rubber band to
prevent cord from retracting into handle), connect the battery pack coil cord directly
to the motor. If the motor now turns properly then the o/on switch or wiring harness
within the handle is not functioning properly. If the motor still does not turn, the
MS4000 is defective. Consult your selling distributor.
