3.1 - Opening the Unit for Maintenance
To open the Speedster® LTD, loosen the rear latches by
turning them one quarter turn counter-clockwise. Flip the
latches down and then lift up on the push handle and the
machine will open up.
♦
3.2 - Filter Maintenance
The Speedster® LTD comes
with a nylon mesh bag filter
that should be placed over
the pump-out filter on the
bottom of the recovery
tank. The nylon bag filter,
the pump-out filter, and
the solution filter inside the
solution tank should be
checked and cleaned on a
daily basis.
♦
3.3 - Ball Float Maintenance
The ball floats in the recovery tank prevent recovered
dirty water from rising too high and damaging the vacuum
motors. Clean the mesh screen on the floats regularly.
♦
3.4 - System Maintainer
Weekly flushing of the solution system with Mytee®
System Maintainer helps keep lines clean and prevents
chemical build-up, improving pump life, performance
and pressure.
How to use System Maintainer:
1. Mix 1-quart 3601 System Maintainer with 1-quart of
warm water.
2. After thoroughly mixing, pour this solution into the
solution tank.
3. Turn the pump on FIRST, and run solution through your
cleaning tool. NOTE: The jet should be removed from
the cleaning tool in order to prevent clogging due to
loosening of deposits in line.
4. Next, turn on the heater (if equipped). If the heater is
turned on first, it will result in a vapor lock, which will
affect the machine’s operation.
5. Next, with both the pump and heater on, begin running
the solution through the machine. This allows the
solution to break down any build up in the lines.
6. After running all of the solution through the machine,
fill the tank with clean, warm water. Run the water
through the machine to clear the solution completely
out of the tank & lines.
