Blower Feature; Empty Liquid Waste From The Tank; Automatic Suction Shut Off - Shop-Vac SSP16 Serie Manuel D'utilisation

PUMP SET UP AND OPERATION (CONT'D.)
3. The unit will vacuum up the liquids faster than the pump removes the liquid from the tank. The unit will
automatically shut off when the tank becomes full.
4. To empty a full tank, remove vacuum hose from the liquid. Do NOT lift the hose to drain the remaining
liquid into the tank. This will cause the unit to overfill and misting through the exhaust port will occur.
5. The ON/OFF switch must be manually held in the ON position for approximately 10 to 15 seconds to
allow the water level to be reduced sufficiently and then pumping will continue automatically. Once the
vacuum is pumping automatically, release the switch and allow it to operate on its own. ATTENTION:
HOLD SWITCH IN ON POSITION ONLY UNTIL WATER STARTS TO FLOW CONTINUOUSLY. RELEASE
SWITCH WHEN PUMPING BEGINS.
6. The unit will continue to discharge liquid until there is about 4" (10 cm) left in the tank. NOTE: If the unit
shuts off before liquid is pumped out repeat steps 5 and 6.
7. When the level of liquid lowers and the unit stops pumping repeat steps 2-7 to continue your cleaning
operation.
8. After the cleaning job has been completed, allow the liquid to be pumped until unit has stopped
pumping. There will be about 4" (10 cm) of liquid remaining in tank.
9. Make sure unit is in the off position. Disconnect plug from the wall receptacle and remove tank cover.
10. Remove and clean pump pick up assembly
11. Empty remaining liquid from tank. Before storing the vacuum 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 foam sleeve to dry.
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
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. 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.
