Important Safety Information

Grounding Instructions

This machine must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electrical shock. This machine is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed in accordance with all local code and ordinances. Do not remove ground pin; if missing, replace plug before use.

Improper installation of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Be sure to check with a qualified electrician or service person if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. If the plug will not fit in the outlet do not modify either the plug nor the machine’s cord, instead have a proper outlet installed by a qualified technician.

This machine is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit and with a grounding plug similar to the one in Figure 1 below. If a proper outlet is not available, follow the illustrations of Figure 2 & 3 to install a temporary-grounding plug. This temporary work-around should be used only until a proper outlet (Figure 1) can be installed by a qualified electrician. When and if this type of adapter is employed, screw the adapter’s extended tab into place with a metal screw. However, grounding adapters are not approved for use in Canada.

Again, be sure to check the grounding pin for damages and replace if necessary.

The Green, or Green-Yellow, wire in the cord is the grounding wire. When replacing a plug, this wire must be attached to only the grounding pin.

DO NOT use extension cords.

Please Note for America use only.

Machine Operation

2.1 – Powering the Tempo™

To power the Tempo™, plug the power cord into a 20 amp wall outlet. ♦

2.3 – Filling the Solution Tank

The Tempo™ solution tank can be filled up from a pitcher or other water container via the opening.

2.4 – Switching on the Tempo™

S-300 Tempo™

After a cleaning tool is connected and the solution tank is filled, switch on the vacuum and the pump in any order.

S-300H Tempo™ w/ Heat

In order to avoid vapor locking the unit, the Tempo’s™ components should be switched on by following the procedure below:

Turn pump switch on.
Pull the lever on the cleaning tool to release air in the line. Hold lever until a steady flow of water comes out of the wand.
Once pump is primed and there is pressure in the solution line, turn on heater switch and wait a few minutes for water to heat up.
Once water is heated, turn on vacuum and begin cleaning.
Note: When cleaning upholstery, always check manufacturer’s cleaning instructions. ♦

2.5 – Cleaning with the Tempo™

For best results when extracting, do one wet pass followed by two dry passes. This ensures you’re not over-soaking the material and also gives the heater time to catch up. ♦

2.6 – Emptying the Recovery Tank

The recovery tank drain is located on the back of the machine at the bottom of the recovery tank. ♦

Machine Maintenance

In order to keep the Tempo™ running smoothly and reduce the risk of damage to the machine and subsequent downtime, Mytee recommends following the maintenance schedule below:

3.1 – Filter Maintenance

The Tempo™ has a small filter on the top of the vacuum stack in the recovery tank. This filter should be checked and cleaned after each use. ♦

3.2 – System Maintainer

Regular flushing of the solution system with Mytee® System Maintainer helps keep lines clean and prevents chemical build-up, improving pump life, performance and pressure.
