  WARNING!    

This machine must be protected from conditions which may 

damage the pump, tank, hoses and other components. 

 

Freezing of water in this machine will cause serious damage

. The MX3-500RP, solution hoses, and tools 

must  be  protected  from  freezing  temperature.  Store, transport,  and  use  this  equipment  only  in  temperatures 
well above freezing. (32ºF or 0ºC).  If you suspect the MX3-500RP has been frozen, do not plug in or turn on 
machine until you are sure it has thawed completely.   

 

If the equipment cannot be stored or transported in a warm environment, it can be guarded from freezing by 
running an anti-freeze solution through the incoming water lines, chemical feed system, solution pump, solution 
lines, tools and pump-out pump. The machine is filled at the factory with anti-freeze to eliminate damage during 
shipment in cold weather.  

o

 

The anti-freeze solution must be completely flushed from the machine before it is returned to service.  

 

The MX3-500RP must not be used to pick up flammable or combustible materials or used in areas where these 
materials may be present. 

 

Solvent-based  or  water-based  solutions  containing  solvents  may  damage  the  pump,  hoses,  and  other 
components.  Do  not  assume  chemical  compatibility.  Contact  your  distributor  or  Hydro-Force  if  you  have 
questions regarding the compatibility of your chemicals with the machine. 

 

Do not clean with solutions that are at temperatures above 130ºF. 

 

Rinse the solution tank, chemical system, and pump with fresh water after each day’s use. 

 

Do not allow pump to run dry. Always maintain adequate solution level to supply solution pump. 

 

HP hoses may rupture if worn or damaged. Do not use HP solution hoses if hose covering is cut, bulging, or 
otherwise damaged. Examine HP solution hoses daily and replace or repair hoses as needed. 

 

Use  a  Hydro-Filter  II  and  clean  the  recovery  tank  daily  to  keep  pump-out  filter  and  pump  from  becoming 
clogged. Store the MX3-500RP with the recovery tank lid open.  

 

Keep Vacuum Inlet Filter clean and check float for proper operation. Do not operate the MX3-500RP without 
the Vacuum Inlet Filter in place. 

Use defoamer to eliminate foam build-up during cleaning and prevent 

foam/moisture from entering vacuums. 

***Use common sense to protect yourself and others while using this equipment.*** 

 

Keep pets and children away from the machine when in use. 

 

Keep all body parts, hair, and loose clothing away from openings and moving parts. Always wear appropriate 
clothing and safety equipment when operating unit. 

 

Use extra care when cleaning on stairs. Wet carpet on stairs can be slippery. 

 

Do not move the MX3-500RP up or down stairs when tanks are full of water. Drain solution and recovery 
tanks, and secure base latches before moving unit up or down stairs.  Lift using only the appropriate handles. 

 

Water may be spilled, drip, or be exhausted from vacuums during operation. Place unit in area where water will 
not cause damage or use drop cloth to protect surfaces.
