GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be inserted into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

WARNING
IMPROPER CONNECTION OF THE EQUIPMENT-GROUNDING CONDUCTOR CAN RESULT IN A RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. CHECK WITH A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN OR SERVICE PERSON IF YOU ARE IN DOUBT AS TO WHETHER THE OUTLET IS PROPERLY GROUNDED. DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG PROVIDED WITH THE APPLIANCE.
IF IT WILL NOT FIT THE OUTLET, HAVE A PROPER OUTLET INSTALLED BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN

This appliance is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has a grounded plug that looks like the plug illustrated in sketch A. A temporary adaptor that looks like the adaptor illustrated in sketches B and C may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in sketch B if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adaptor should be used only until a properly grounded outlet (sketch A) can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green colored rigid ear, lug or the like extending from the adaptor must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the adaptor is used, it must be held in place by a metal screw.
IN CANADA, THE USE OF A TEMPORARY ADAPTOR IS NOT PERMITTED BY THE CANADIAN LECTRICAL CODE.
Make sure that the appliance is connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug. No adaptor should be used with this appliance.
GROUNDING METHODS

EXTENSION CORDS

When using the appliance at a distance where an extension cord becomes necessary, a 3-conductor grounding cord of adequate size must be used for safety, and to prevent loss of power and overheating. Use Table A to determine A.W.G. wire size required. To determine ampere rating of your vacuum, refer to nameplate located on motor housing. Before using
appliance, inspect power cord for loose or exposed wires and damaged insulation. Make any needed repairs or replacements before using your appliance. Use only three-wire outdoor extension cords which have three prong grounding-type plugs and three-pole receptacles which accept the extension cord’s plug. When vacuuming liquids, be sure the extension cord connection does not come in contact with the liquid.
NOTE: STATIC SHOCKS ARE COMMON IN DRY AREAS OR WHEN THE RELATIVE HUMIDITY OF THE AIR IS LOW.
THIS IS ONLY TEMPORARY AND DOES NOT AFFECT THE USE OF THE APPLIANCE. TO REDUCE THE FREQUENCY OF STATIC SHOCKS IN YOUR HOME, THE BEST REMEDY IS TO ADD MOISTURE TO THE AIR WITH A CONSOLE OR INSTALLED HUMIDIFIER

FILTER INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE

FILTRATION SYSTEM

There are a variety of filters available for your vacuum. There are cage filters that install onto the underside of the tank cover and tank filters that install into the tank. The filters are grouped into three filtration categories. General filtration is used for large debris; such as, wood chips, nails and gravel. Medium filtration is used for medium debris; such as, dirt, sand and sawdust. Fine filtration is used for fine debris; such as drywall dust, cold ash and cement dust. It is important to have the correct filters installed for your cleaning operation to protect your vacuum motor. THE MOST EFFICIENT FILTRATION FOR YOUR VACUUM IS A FINE FILTRATION CAGE FILTER WITH A FINE FILTRATION TANK FILTER.
NOTE: When using the vacuum to pick up very fine dust. It will be necessary to empty the tank and clean the cage filter at more frequent intervals to maintain maximum pick up power or add a disposable filter bag.
DRY PICK UP OPERATION
NOTE: Never use the vacuum for dry pick up without a dry use filter installed. Using the vacuum without a filter will cause dust to discharge from the blower port and cause damage to the motor.

WARNING
ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE PLUG FROM THE WALL OUTLET BEFORE REMOVING THE TANK COVER.

Follow the instructions for the filter that came with your vacuum. Some filters mentioned do not come standard with all vacuums. Additional filters are available at your local dealer or the Shop-Vac® website.

CARTRIDGE FILTER
The cartridge filter can be used for dry pick up and small quantities of wet pick up. Installation is the same for both. When picking up fine dust or powders a high efficiency filter bag must be used with the cartridge filter.

  1. If a foam sleeve is installed on the lid cage, remove it by sliding it off the lid cage.
    NOTE: If the cartridge filter has been used for wet pick up, it must be cleaned and dried before using it for dry pick up.

  2. With the tank cover in an upside down position, slide the cartridge down over the lid cage, pushing until the filter seals against the cover.
    Filter Installation And Maintenance

  3. Place the filter retainer into the top of the cartridge filter. Hold the tank cover with one hand, turn the handle on the filter retainer clockwise to lock the filter into place.
    Filter Installation And Maintenance

  4. To remove the filter for cleaning, hold the tank cover and turn the filter retainer counter-clockwise to loosen and remove.
    Filter Installation And Maintenance

  5. Slide the cartridge filter off the lid cage.

  6. For standard cartridge filters and Ultra-Web® cartridge filters, clean the filter by shaking or gently brushing off excess dirt. Extremely dirty filters may be cleaned with water by rinsing from the inside of the filter. Dry completely (approximately 24 hours).
    For CleanStream® Abrasive Resistant cartridge filter, tap end cap against hard surface to loosen debris.
    Additional debris can be removed by rinsing outside surface of the filter with running water.
    Avoid dampening inside of filter. Completely air dry after washing.
    IMPORTANT: DO NOT BRUSH.
    DO NOT clean filter with abrasive materials or scrub between pleats. This will permanently damage the filters ability to stop dust.
    Check the filter for tears or small holes. If none are found, reinstall the filter. To prevent damage to your vacuum, do not use a filter with a hole or tear.

NOTICE
This filter is made of high quality paper designed to stop small particles of dust. The filter can be used for wet or dry pick up. A dry filter is necessary to pick up dry material. If you use your vac to pick up dust when the filter is wet, the filter will clog quickly and be very difficult to clean. The filter may become saturated when picking up large quantities of liquid causing misting to appear in the exhaust air. At this time, you should dry or change the filter to eliminate this occurrence. Please handle the filter carefully when removing it for cleaning or when installing it. Check the filter for tears or small holes. Even a small hole can cause dust to be exhausted. Do not use a filter with holes or tears. Replace it immediately.

WARNING
KEEP FILTERS CLEAN. EFFICIENCY OF THE VACUUM IS LARGELY DEPENDENT ON THE FILTER. A CLOGGED FILTER CAN CAUSE OVERHEATING AND POSSIBLY DAMAGE THE CLEANER. CHECK THE FILTER PERIODICALLY AND REPLACE AS REQUIRED.

DISPOSABLE FILTER BAG
Use the disposable filter bag in conjunction with the cartridge filter for easy disposal of the debris. The bag is not required for normal dry pick up. When picking up fine dust or powders a high efficiency filter bag must be used. NOTE: For dry use only

Follow the instructions that pertain to your vacuum.

  6. NOTE: When removing filter bag from tank, remove inlet deflector from filter bag collar and reinstall into deflector guide. Inlet deflector should always be in place for any type of cleaning.

WARNING FOR FINE DUST AND POWDERS.
When vacuuming fine dust, or powders of any kind (plaster, drywall dust, cold ashes, concrete dust, etc.) a high efficiency drywall filter bag must be used. When vacuuming normal household dust and debris, standard household disposable filter bags may be used.

WET PICK UP OPERATION

  1. Your vacuum can be used for wet pick up. Remove ALL dirt and debris found in the tank. Remove all dry use filters, including the filter bag, from the vacuum.
  2. A clean cartridge filter may be used to pick up small quantities of liquid. To use the cartridge filter; follow the instructions under dry pick up.
  3. For vacuuming large quantities of liquid use a foam sleeve. If a foam sleeve did not come standard with your unit, one may be purchased at your local dealer, the Shop-Vac® website or by contacting Shop-Vac® customer service. To use the foam sleeve; follow the instructions in this section.
  4. Misting in the exhaust air or dripping of liquid around the tank cover may occur if the filter becomes saturated during wet pick up. If this occurs, remove the filter and allow to dry, or replace with another dry filter.
  5. Turn the unit off immediately upon completing a wet pick up job or when tank is full and ready to be emptied. When the tank is full, suction will drastically reduce. Refer to the automatic suction shut off section for more information. Raise the hose to drain any excess liquid into the tank. Follow the instructions in the emptying liquid waste section.
  6. Before storing the vacuum cleaner or using for dry pick up, clean and dry the interior of the tank and the underside of the tank cover. Clean and allow the filters to dry completely.
  7. Wet pick up accessories should be washed periodically; especially after picking up wet, sticky kitchen accidents. This can be accomplished with a warm solution of soap and water.

FOAM SLEEVE

  1. With the tank cover in an upside down position, slide the foam sleeve down over the lid cage, pulling until foam sleeve completely covers the lid cage.
  2. To clean the foam sleeve, side it up and off the lid cage. Shake excess debris off of the foam sleeve with a rapid up and down movement.
  3. 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.
  4. Check the filter for tears. If any are found, replace with a new filter.

BLOWER FEATURE

Your vacuum can be used as a powerful blower. To use the blower feature, clear the hose of any debris or obstructions.

For vacuums with a blower port cover (not standard on all models), 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.

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 the tank, turn the vacuum off and remove the plug from the wall outlet. Follow the instructions that pertain to your vacuum.

WITHOUT TANK DRAIN
Remove the tank cover and deposit the liquid waste in a suitable drain. Use side carry handles for lifting vac when draining tank into drains that are located above floor level. After tank is empty, return the tank cover to its original position.

WITH TANK DRAIN
Remove the drain cap and deposit the liquid waste in a suitable drain. Use side carry handles for lifting vac when draining tank into drains that are located above floor level. After the tank is empty, return the drain cap to it’s 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

Before storing your vacuum the tank should be emptied and cleaned. Never allow liquids to sit in the tank for any extended period of time. The vacuum should be stored indoors.

SERVICE

Do not attempt to service your Shop-Vac® wet/dry vacuum cleaner beyond that described in this manual.
