  • Page 7 • 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.

  • Page 8: Vacuum Connections

    Section Vacuum Connections The MX200 has a unique vacuum system which allows you to connect your vacuums in either parallel or in series. Vacuum connections can be changed quickly, with only a screw driver. While there is debate on which vacuum alignment provides the best extraction, this much is true: •...
  • Page 9 SET UP AND OPERATION 1. Electrical Cords: One 25’ power cord is supplied with the standard Nautilus MX200. This cord powers vacuum #1, vacuum #2, the Solution Pump, and the cooling fan and the waste pump if so equipped. A second cord is added if equipped with the optional 1750W heater. Cord#2 will power the heater and the waste pump if so equipped.
  • Page 10 2A. Water Supply & Chemical Mixing– Manual Fill: • Pour up to 12 gallons of hot water into the solution tank at the front of the machine. The water temperature cannot exceed 130° ° ° ° F. • Measure and add the appropriate amount of the desired liquid chemical to the water in the solution tank. The amount of chemical will vary depending on the type of chemical used, the amount of water in the tank, and the material being cleaned;...
  • Page 11 Dilution 85 - 1 Chemical Feed Hose Metering Tip Kit (Hydro-Force Item# PDE001) contains 14 different colored metering tips, allowing dilution rates from 11:1 up to 427:1. Refer to the chart below to select the tip that meets the dilution rate for your chemical application.

    Connect the other end of the hose to a water faucet, and then turn on the water. • Hot water can be used as long as the temperature does not exceed 130°F. • Faucet adapter kits (Hydro-Force item #AX21 & AX22) are available that allow connection to different types of faucets if needed.
  • Page 13 3. Priming the High-Pressure Pump: Once water is in the solution tank, the high pressure pump must be primed: • There is a priming hose included with the machine. Connect the priming hose to the solution outlet – female quick connect on the front of the machine. •...
  • Page 14 5. Optional 1750W Heater Operation: To prevent damage to the heater, the heater must have water in it before it is turned ON. Fill solution tank, prime the pump and connect solution hoses before turning heater While the heater allows for maximum operating temperature of approximately 190ºF, the temperature of the cleaning water delivered to the tool is dependent on two factors: •...

  • Page 15: Foam Downer

    7. Optional Foam Downer: A key problem with portable extractors is that they have small tanks where foam dissipates slowly. If you have had issues with foam or are anticipating foaming problems, you will want to use a Foam Downer. Foam can be drawn into the vacuums before the vacuum shutoff closes.

  • Page 16: Pump-Out System

    8. Connection of Optional Pump-Out Hose: If your machine has the Optional Auto Pump-Out System you may want to connect the Pump-Out Hose. The pump-out hose is a 50’ section of 3/4” garden hose. (Use of smaller diameter hose may reduce flow.) •...

  • Page 17: Shutdown Procedures

    Shutdown Procedures: • If using the optional auto-fill system, turn the water supply off before finishing each job. This will allow use of the water and chemical already in the tank, and will reduce the amount of excess water to be disposed of later.

  • Page 18: Accessory Storage

    Accessory Storage Options: The MX200 is designed to make it easier for the operator to transport the machine and the most common cleaning accessories.

    CLEAN CHEMICAL FEED FILTER & FOOT VALVE: (If so equipped) Part of the optional Auto Fill & Chemical Feed system, the Filter & Foot Valve is on the end of the chemical feed hose that is placed in the chemical jug as part of the chemical feed system. Regularly examine the filter and clean as needed.
  • Page 29 CLEAN THE HYDRO-FILTER II: (If so equipped) When used with the MX200, 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.

  • Page 33 CLEAN RECOVERY TANK DRAIN Debris and sand accumulation in the drain valve can damage the valve or prevent it from closing completely. This will result in dirty water leaking from the valve. Use of the Hydro-Filter and regular cleaning of the recovery tank will help prevent this, but occasionally the drain valve will require cleaning or replacement.
  • Page 34 Storage Prep and Freeze Protection Procedures: Your Nautilus MX200 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 MX200 is transported or stored in freezing temperatures, the following procedures should be performed.
