FAQs
Q: What comes standard with the S-300?
A: The S-300 comes with an 8’ Hose-n-Hose™ vacuum & internal solution hose
and the 8400P Air Lite™ Upholstery Tool attached.
Q: Where do I plug the machine in?
A: The S-300 requires a grounded circuit. Please note: GFI outlets may trip before
the breaker setting.
Q: Is there anything I can do to increase the expected life of my machine?
A: Running the vacuum motors with the tank empty and lid off will allow excess
moisture in the vacuums to dry off. You should also run Mytee’s 3601 System
Maintainer through the system weekly to keep the hoses, pump, and heater clean
and free of debris.
