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 EQUIP-
MENT-GROUNDING CONDUCTOR CAN RESULT IN A RISk Of ELEC-
TRIC 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 tem-
porary adapter that looks like the
adapter 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
adapter 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 adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box
cover. Whenever the adapter 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
ELECTRICAL CoDE. Make sure that the appliance is connected to an outlet having the same
configuration as the plug. No adapter should be used with this appliance.
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 the table below to determine A.W.G. wire size required. To determine ampere rating of your vacuum,
refer to nameplate located on rear of motor cover.
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 exten-
sion 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 APPLI-
ANCE. 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.

able fasteners for mounting vacuum to a surface other than wood.) be sure wall bracket is level
(figure 1).
3. Install vacuum by aligning groove on either side of tank to engage as the vacuum is lowered onto
the wall bracket (figure 2).
4. To avoid possible injury or damage by dislodging vacuum from wall bracket or dropping tank
during unlatching, always remove the entire vacuum from wall bracket and set on floor to empty
tank or service filter.
5. before removing vacuum from wall bracket, check to make sure tank cover is secured to tank. To
remove vacuum from wall bracket, grasp top handle with one hand and tank bottom with other

DRY PICk UP OPERATION
WARNING
WALL OUTLET BEfORE REMOVING THE TANk COVER.
1.
Install foam sleeve and disposable filter bag to pick up dust and dry material only. If the foam
sleeve has been used to pick up liquids, the foam sleeve must be cleaned and dried before
installing for dry pick up.
2.
With tank cover in an upside down position, slide foam sleeve down over lid cage pulling until
foam sleeve completely covers lid cage (figure 5).
3.
To install disposable filter bag, remove hose from inlet.
Slide collar of filter bag into retainer guides (figure 6).
4.
5.
When secured in place, expand bag and position around the inside of the tank. The dispos-
able filter bag should always be in position when using the foam sleeve for dry pick up.
CAUTION
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.

WET PICk UP OPERATION
Remove ALL dirt and debris found in the tank. The vacuum requires only a minimum of conversion
when going from dry to wet pick up. Wet pick up requires the foam sleeve (not standard on all
models) to be in position over the lid cage. Misting in exhaust air may occur if the foam sleeve
becomes saturated during wet pick up. If misting occurs, remove and dry the saturated foam sleeve
or replace with another dry foam sleeve to eliminate the misting and possible dripping of liquid
around the lid. Turn the unit off immediately upon completing a wet pick up job or when tank is full
and ready to be emptied. Raise the hose to drain any excess liquid into the tank. The interior of
the tank should be periodically cleaned.
The foam sleeve should be cleaned periodically as described in the following steps:
1. Always disconnect the plug from the wall receptacle before removing the tank cover. Place tank
cover in an upside down position. Remove foam sleeve by sliding it up and off the lid cage.
2. Shake excess dust off foam sleeve with a rapid up and down movement.
3. hold foam sleeve under running water for a minute or two, rinsing from the inside. A water wash
is not always required, depending on the condition of the foam sleeve.
4. Gently wring out excess water, blot foam sleeve with a clean towel, and allow to dry. The foam
sleeve is now ready to be reinstalled on the lid cage.
NOTE: 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.
EMPTYING LIQUID WASTE fROM
®
Your Shop-Vac
Wet/Dry vacuum may be emptied of liquid waste by removing the tank cover. To
empty, stop the motor and remove the plug from the wall receptacle. Remove the tank cover and
deposit the liquid waste contents in a suitable drain. After the tank is empty, return the cover to
its original position. To continue use, plug the cord into the wall receptacle and start the motor.
