TROUBLESHOOTING 

Mopit Machine Leaks When Not In Use 

The most common cause for this is a faulty solenoid. Until we can get 
you a new solenoid simply turn off the manual water valve (pg 6) when 
the Mopit is not in use. Also see solenoid replacement (pg 19). The leak 
may also be coming from a drain hose that has a hole in it.  
 

Mopit Not Cleaning Well 

Several factors determine how well the Mopit will clean.  
1.  Water: use hot water for best cleaning. If no water is getting on the 

floor or the water delivery is uneven, the cleaning will be poor. See 
page 20 Not Getting Any Water, to make sure water delivery is 
working 

2.  Brush Pressure: see adjusting and checking brush pressure (pg 10) 
3.  Suction and water recovery: If your machine is not sucking up the 

water well, see page 22 for help. You can also lift the squeegee to 
double scrub very dirty areas see page 7 (Squeegee pedal) 

4.  Battery Charge: If your battery is weak you won’t have much suc-

tion or scrubbing power. See page 7 on battery charging 

5.  For more help call Spectrum 1-800-290-2833
