Storage Prep and Freeze Protection Procedures:
Your Nautilus MX1200 must be protected from freezing. Freezing can cause serious damage to the pump,
pump-out, auto-fill float valve, and any other component containing water. If the MX1200 is transported or
stored in freezing temperatures, the following procedures should be performed.
ALSO, if the MX1200 is stored for an extended period of time, the following procedure should be performed
to prevent the pump seals from drying out.
1.
In a separate container mix 1/2 gallon of water with 1/2 gallon of automotive radiator Ethylene Glycol
anti-freeze. (Propylene glycol can be used as a non-toxic alternative anti-freeze.). Mix well and pour into
the solution tank.
2.
Connect the solution hose to the solution outlet (female quick connect. Connect the HP solution hose to
the solution outlet (female quick connect.) Connect the opposite end of the HP solution hose to the
Auto-Fill inlet (male quick connect.) Leave the chemical feed hose in the solution tank and ensure the
check valve filter is submerged in the anti-freeze solution. To speed the process the metering tip can be
removed. Turn the pressure regulator knob counter-clockwise to lower the pressure to 100psi or lower.
Applying high pressure (over 100psi) to the Auto-Fill system will cause
damage to the Float valve and chemical proportioning mechanism.
3.
Turn the solution pump switch to the ON position and perform the pump priming procedure. Hold the
priming valve open for a few extra seconds to be sure the anti-freeze has passed through the priming
valve. When the pump is primed, allow the anti-freeze to circulate for 5-10 minutes. Mix and add more
anti-freeze solution as needed. Make sure end of chemical feed hose stays submerged in the anti-freeze
solution. This will assure that the anti-freeze will be drawn into the proportioning valve.
4.
Connect any cleaning tools that will be stored with the MX1200. Direct tool spray back into the solution
tank or into a bucket. Repeat for all tools to be protected.
5.
Turn the solution pump switch to the OFF position.
6.
Use the 4’ short section of vacuum hose to vacuum the remaining anti-freeze solution out of the solution
tank and bucket.
7.
Remove the cap from the waste-pump out outlet fitting on the back of the machine. Connect a hose to a
drain or hold a bucket up to the fitting to catch the pump-out flow.
8.
Remove the lid from the recovery tank. Turn the Waste Pump switch to the ON position to engage the
pump-out. Turn off the Waste Pump Switch as soon as you see anti-freeze flowing from the outlet fitting
or hose.
9.
Drain the remaining anti-freeze solution from the recovery tank and the machine is ready for storage.
RETURNING THE MX1200 TO SERVICE AFTER STORAGE OR
FREEZE PROTECTION:
To return the MX1200 to service, the anti-freeze must be flushed from the machine. Flush the anti-freeze out
of the machine by repeating the procedures above using fresh water in place of anti-freeze.
