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.
· Do Not Use Bleach in the Mopit
Before using the Mopit mini you need to fill it with water and cleaning
solution.
Filling The Fresh Wa-
ter 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 tank
for normal cleaning. For greasy floors you can use 2-3 ounces of solu-
tion 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

BASIC OPERATION
The Mopit Has 3 Switches
The Vacuum Switch
The Solution Switch
The Brush Switch
Simply turn on all three switch-
es and walk. The water switch
will work only when both the
brush and water switches are
on.
When operating the Mopit you
may walk at a normal pace. If
there is a really dirty area,
cleaning performance is in-
creased by pushing the Mopit
slower.
Handle Bar Adjustment
To adjust the handle bar height simply lift up the handle bar quick re-
lease lever, adjust the handle, and then push the quick release lever back
down. You can also use the Mopit mini with the quick release handle
disengaged for quick height ad-
justment when going under tables
and obstacles.
Water Level Gauge
This is the water level gauge. The
fresh water tank holds 2.9 gallons
of water. The recovery tank
holds 4.75 gallons of water.

BASIC OPERATION
Draining The Dirty Water
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 ma-
chine will start to stink. Simply remove the drain hose cap and let the
drain hose down onto a floor drain or into a bucket. After draining, be
sure to put the cap on tightly. If the cap is not screwed on tight the ma-
chine will lose suction power.
Charging The Mopit
The Mopit is battery operated. Keep the Mopit plugged in whenever it is
not being used. 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, plug the Battery
charger into the wall. The on-board charger has one indicator light. The
light will be red or amber when it is charging and green when fully
charged. The Mopit won’t charge if the switches are turned on.

BASIC OPERATION
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
To transport
the Mopit
press down on
the transport
pedal and the
Mopit will tilt
back for
transport
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 right. To drop the squeegee, push the pedal
down and slide it to the left.

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 is turned off
(see page 7) Tip the Mopit on its back, pull filter out of its clip, pull off
the water lines, twist the filter housing apart and remove and rinse out
the filter.
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. Remove the water line from the water valve and open
the valve.

Changing The Squeegee Blade
On average the squeegee blade will need to be changed every 2-6 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.
1. Tip the Mopit on its back
2. Remove squeegee wing nut
3. Pull out the squeegee insert and remove
the squeegee blade
4. Place the new squeegee blade over the
squeegee insert
5. Hold the squeegee blade over the two side
dowel pins and slide the squeegee insert pin
into the squeegee bar receiver hole
6. Push the remainder of the squeegee insert into
the squeegee bar and replace the wing nut
7. Replace
the white
squeegee

MAINTENANCE / SERVICE
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 de-
crease. To com-
pensate for
brush wear,
adjust the
wheels to lower
the brush head.
To adjust the
brush pressure, tip the machine on its back.
Insert a 5/32 Allen wrench into the wheel block windows. Turn the Al-
len 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 width touch the floor but only a 1/4 inch of brush depth on the
floor.
