TROUBLESHOOTING
Mopit Is Leaving Black Marks
The most common cause is not getting water onto the floor. Black
marks can also be caused by missing or worn squeegee wheels. See page
20 for how to fix water issues and page 9 for squeegee replacement.
Mopit Machine Smells When I Use It
The Mopit will stink when the recovery tank is not cleaned out regu-
larly. See page 13 for how to clean the tank.
Mopit Machine Is Shocking Me When In Use
Shocking happens when no water is getting to the floor. The static elec-
tricity from the spinning brush causes the shocking. To fix this issue
follow page 20 on not getting any water.
Mopit Machine Leaks When Not In Use
The most common cause for this is a faulty solenoid. Until we can get
you a new solenoid simply turn off the manual water valve (pg 6) when
the Mopit is not in use. Also see solenoid replacement (pg 19).
Mopit Not Cleaning Well
Several factors determine how the Mopit will clean.
1. Water: use hot water for best cleaning. If no water is getting on the
floor or the water delivery is uneven, the cleaning will be poor. See
page 20 Not Getting Any Water, to make sure water delivery is
working
2. Brush Pressure: see adjusting and checking brush pressure (pg 10)
3. Suction and water recovery: If your machine is not sucking up the
water well, see page 22 for help. You can also lift the squeegee to
double scrub very dirty areas see page 7 (Squeegee Lift)
4. Battery Charge: If your battery is weak you won’t have much suc-
tion or scrubbing power. See page 7 on battery charging
