Dear Customer:
Congratulations on the purchase of your new detailing equipment.
As you are already aware, the scene of the detailing world is
becoming more high tech, and we at Mytee Products, Inc. strive to
keep you on the cutting edge with superior quality and technology.
Keep in mind that your heated extractor is a machine and neglect
and abuse will cause unnecessary damage and void warranty. With
simple maintenance however, your extractor will give you quality
performance for many years to come.
The labels on your unit are scratch resistant. They are made with a
clear film. To achieve a high gloss finish, simply peel off the thin,
clear layer.
If warranty questions arise, please consult your user's guide or get
in touch with your distributor. If you have questions about
maintenance, replacing parts or ordering parts, please call an
authorized Mytee Products, Inc. service center. To see an updated
list, visit our website at www.Mytee.com.
Before you begin extracting, please read you user's guide
thoroughly.
Sincerely,
Customer Care Dept.

MODEL DESCRIPTIONS/ SETUP
HP60/ HP100/ K100HP
These machines are equipped with a 100-psi pump, a 3 stage vacuum motor and
a 1200-watt heating system. They are a single power cord unit. The power cord is
a 25' 12-3 cord. Each unit draws about 19 amps. (115v) To run effectively, use a
dedicated 20-amp outlet. The HP100 has 11 gallon solution and recovery tanks.
The K100HP has 9 gallon solution and recovery tanks. The HP60 has 6 gallon
solution and recovery tanks.
NOTE: All units come equipped with a 15' vacuum hose and a 15' high pressure,
high temperature solution hose along with a 3" stainless steel upholstery wand.
SET-UP
1. Your machine comes with two metal brackets. These can be installed on the
sides of the machine. Simply remove the screws with a Phillips head screw-
driver and place the bracket over the 2 brass inserts. Thread the screws in
the inserts and tighten with the screwdriver. Use the brackets for holding
your hose and hand tool so they do not have to lay on the floor. Also, the
bracket can be used to hold your Versa-Tool polisher.
2. You will find a black plastic 45-degree elbow inside the machine. Place this
elbow on the drain valve on the rear of the unit. The elbow will direct the flow
of recovered water downward.
3. Plug in yellow electrical cord into a dedicated 20-amp circuit outlet.
4. Fill solution tank with water, and add 1/2 cup of rinse additive.
5. Attach vacuum and solution hoses to appropriate connections on the machine
and your wand. Make sure the quick disconnects snap together firmly. As you
do this, always inspect hoses for cracks or fraying. Do not use if hoses are
damaged.
6

#1 Turn on pump switch. Take the hand tool and hold it over the opening of the
solution tank. Pull the lever on the hand tool so that the valve is now open and
fluid can start flowing through the machine and hoses. You will notice air coming
out at first. This is normal. Keep the line open until there is no more air, and
solution if flowing steady. This is called priming the pump. It may take up to 2
minutes.
#2 Turn on heater switch. This is your heater and should remain on for the entire
time you use the machine. You will know the heater is on because the switch will
illuminate.
#3 Turn on vacuum switch. With the upholstery tool in hand you may begin
cleaning. By pulling the trigger, you will dispense the solution onto the desired area.
Because the vacuum is on, the fluid will quickly be sucked back into the hand tool.
You will notice that the area you have just cleaned will be damp. This is normal. To
speed up the drying process, use the model A9700, Mytee Dry airmover.
