BLOWER FEATURE
Your vacuum can be used as a powerful blower. To
use the blower feature, clear the hose of any debris or
obstructions.
Unscrew blower port cover located on the back of
tank cover. The blower port cover is equipped with a
retaining strap to prevent loss of the cover.
NOTE: For maximum performance when
vacuuming, remove the blower port cover.
Insert machine hose end into
blower port located on the back of
the tank cover. Twist the hose end
slightly to tighten the connection.
Caution should be used when using
as a blower due to the powerful
force of air when using certain
attachments. (See Figure 12)
WARNING! Always wear eye protection to
prevent rocks or debris from being blown or
ricocheting into the eyes or face, which can
result in serious injury.
EMPTYING LIQUID WASTE FROM THE TANK
To empty liquid waste from tank, turn vacuum off and
remove plug from wall outlet. Remove tank cover and
deposit liquid waste in a suitable drain. Use side carry
handles for lifting vacuum when draining tank into
drains that are located above floor level. After tank is
empty, return tank cover to its original position.
1.
Power cord can be wrapped
around cord wraps provided
on top of tank cover located
in front and behind the handle.
(See Figure 13)
2. To remove cord from cord
wraps, grasp the sides of rear
cord wrap located behind the
handle. Turn counterclockwise
180° until the tip of the cord
wrap is above the handle.

AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF
The vacuum is equipped with an automatic suction
shutoff that operates when picking up liquids. As the
level of liquid rises in the tank, an internal float rises
until it seats itself against a seal at the intake of the
motor, shutting off suction. When this happens, the
motor will develop a higher than normal pitch noise and
suction is drastically reduced. If this occurs, turn unit off
immediately. Failure to turn unit off after float rises and
shuts off suction will result in extensive damage to the
motor. To continue use, empty the liquid waste from the
tank as outlined in the previous section.
NOTE: If accidentally tipped over, the vacuum
could lose suction. If this occurs, turn unit off
and place vacuum in upright position. This will
allow the float to return to its normal position
and you will be able to continue operation.
LUBRICATION
No lubrication is necessary, as the motor is equipped
with lifetime lubricated bearings.
SERVICE
Do not attempt to service your Shop-Vac
vacuum cleaner beyond that described in this manual.

wrap and turn clockwise
180° to return it to its original
