Nautilus HYDRO-FORCE MX500HE Operating Manual page 29

CLEAN THE HYDRO-FILTER II: (If so equipped)
When used with the MX500HE, build-up of debris in the filter screen of the optional Hydro-Filter II will
reduce the vacuum air flow and may cause a significant decrease in water recovery. A torn filter screen will
allow debris past the filter and into the recovery tank. This debris can clog the Waste Pump and the Vacuum
Shutoff Assembly. The Hydro-Filter II must be examined and cleaned regularly to keep the
MX500HE functioning properly:
• Grasp and turn the lid counterclockwise to open the Hydro-Filter II lid.
• Remove the filter screen. Examine the screen and clean or replace as needed.
• Rinse the body of the Hydro-Filter II with clean water.
• Examine the o-ring lid seal and replace as needed.
• Re-install the new or cleaned screen.
• Screw the lid back onto the body and turn clockwise to tighten.
RINSE OUT RECOVERY TANK:
Build-up of fine silt, sand and other debris in the recovery tank can damage the Drain Valve (and Waste
Pump if so equipped). Hair and fibers in the recovery tank can clog the vacuum filter (and Pump-out filter if
so equipped).Clean out the tank on a regular basis to extend the life of these components and to keep the
tank and machine smelling better.
• Remove the recovery tank lid and open the drain valve.
• Place a bucket under the drain valve.
• Use a hose to rinse the dirt and debris out of the recovery tank.
• Close the drain valve and spray the tank with a deodorizer or disinfectant.
• Proceed to Waste Pump Cleaning and replace the recovery tank lid.
• Dispose of the dirty water and debris.
