3. To clean the foam sleeve, hold the tank cover and
turn the filter retainer counter-clockwise to loosen and
remove. Slide the foam sleeve up and off the lidcage.
Shake excess debris off of the foam sleeve with a rapid
up and down movement.
4. Hold foam sleeve under running water for a couple
minutes, rinsing from the inside of the filter. A water
wash is not always required, depending on the condition
of the filter.
5. Check the filter for tears. If any are found, replace
with a new filter.
EMPTYING
LIQUID
WASTE FROM
THE TANK
To empty liquid waste from the tank, turn the vacuum
off and remove the plug from the wall outlet. Remove
the tank cover and deposit the liquid waste in a suitable
drain. After tank is empty, return the tank cover to its
original position.
AUTOMATIC SUCTION
SHUT OFF
The vacuum is equipped with an automatic suction shut-
off that operates when picking up liquids. As the level
of the 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 the
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 VAC 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.

STORAGE

SERVICE
Do not attempt to service your Shop-Vac
vacuum cleaner beyond that described in this manual.
Refer all other servicing to a qualified service center.
Before storing your vacuum
the tank should be emptied
and cleaned. The power
cord can be wrapped
around the cord wraps
provided on the tank cover
on front of vacuum. The
hose may be wrapped
around the wall bracket and
the accessories stored in
the tool bag so they can be
readily available. Never allow
liquids to sit in the tank for
any extended period of time.
The vacuum should be
stored indoors.
