ManualsBrandsShop-Vac ManualsTools3.0 Peak HP Two Stage head assembly for 55 gallon drum.

Automatic Shutoff

The vacuum cleaner is equipped with an automatic shutoff that operates when picking up liq-

uids. When the liquid in the tank reaches a certain level, an internal float will seat 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 indicating that you need to switch off the vac and empty the

liquid.

Note: If accidently tipped over, the float shutoff device could seat against the seal and shut off

suction. If this happens, simply place the vacuum cleaner in upright position and turn off the

switch until the float returns to its normal position.

Emptying Tank

Use special care when emptying heavily loaded tanks. Your Wet/Dry Vacuum may be emptied of

liquid waste by removing the tank cover. To empty, switch off the vac and remove the plug from

the wall receptacle. Remove the tank cover and empty the tank.

Note: For those models with a drain plug, tank can be emptied by removing drain cap and

draining liquid waste into a suitable drain.

Maintenance

Be sure to disconnect power supply before attempting to service or remove any

components.

Storage

Before storing the vacuum cleaner, always empty and clean the tank. Never allow liquids to sit

in the tank for any extended period of time.

Always store the vacuum cleaner indoors.

Lubrication

No lubrication is necessary as the motor is equipped with lifetime lubricated bearings.

Service

Do not attempt to service your Shop-Vac

wet/dry vacuum cleaner beyond that described in

this manual. Refer all other servicing to a qualified service center.

If any of the motor housing parts should become detached or broken, exposing

the motor or any other electrical components, operation should be discontinued

immediately to avoid personal injury or further damage to the vacuum. Repairs should

be made before reusing the vacuum.
