Introduction
Dear Customer:
Congratulations on the purchase of your new Tempo™ Upholstery Spotter. As technology continues to develop you can work confidently knowing that both Mytee and its employees are equally dedicated to developing with the industry and its advances.
Like any other piece of machinery or technology, the Tempo™ also requires the proper maintenance and care to keep the product working over extended use. Neglecting your machine, abusing it or not operating it properly can void its warranty and prevent the machine from performing to the quality and standard you’d expect out of the Mytee line.
If you have any warranty concerns or questions, please review this manual thoroughly or do not hesitate to contact your distributor. If there are questions regarding maintenance, replacement, or ordering parts please contact an authorized Mytee Service Center.
Before using your Mytee product, please read this manual thoroughly.
Sincerely,

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.

- 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.
