BASIC OPERATION

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.
To drain the fresh water tank, tip the machine on it’s back and pull off
the white silicone tubing attached to the water valve. This tubing is easy

to pull off with just your fingers. Once the tubing is off, open the water

valve all the way. And tip the Mopit right side up. If the fresh water tank
is full it may take as long as 15

minutes for it to drain.
Once the fresh water is drained,
slide the tubing back onto the
valve.

Cleaning The Water Filter

When you are not getting
enough water to the drip tray,
clean the water filter. Pull the
filter housing out of the silicone
tubing and twist the housing
apart. Pull the filter out and
rinse it under running water.
Install with the thickest part of
the housing closest to the water
valve.

clean the water filter. You can view all of our Mopit movies
