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.
No lubrication is necessary as the motor is equipped with lifetime lubricated bearings.
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.
Do not attempt to service your Shop-Vac
Refer all other servicing to a qualified service center.
