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 EQUIPMENTGROUNDING 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 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.
SKETCH A
SKETCH B SKETCH C
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 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 threepole 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.

WET PICK UP
OPERATION
38. Your vacuum can be used for wet pick up. Remove
ALL dirt and debris found in the tank. Remove all
dry use only filters, including the filter bag, from the
vacuum.
39. A clean cartridge filter may be used to pick up small
quantities of liquid. To use the cartridge filter; follow the
cleaning and installation instructions under dry pick up.
40. For vacuuming large quantities of liquid use a foam
sleeve (not standard with all models). A foam sleeve
may be purchased at your local Shop-Vac® distributor,
on the Shop-Vac® website, or by contacting Shop-Vac®
customer service. To use the foam sleeve; follow the
installation instructions in this section.
41. 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.

NOTE: When removing filter bag from tank, remove the
inlet deflector from the filter bag collar. Reinstall inlet
deflector into deflector guide. Inlet deflector must be in
place for any type of cleaning.
WARNING!
FOR FINE DUST 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.
42. 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 “automatic suction shut off” in this
manual. Raise the hose to drain any excess liquid into
the tank. Follow the “emptying liquid waste” section in
this manual.
43. 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.
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.
FOAM SLEEVE INSTALLATION AND CLEANING:
44. With tank cover in an
upside down position, slide
foam sleeve down over lid
cage pulling until foam
sleeve completely covers lid
cage. FIGURE 28.
FIGURE 28
45. To clean the foam sleeve, disconnect the plug from
the wall outlet. Remove the tank cover and place the
PAGE 7
cover in an upside-down position. Remove foam sleeve
by sliding it up and off the lid cage.
46. Shake excess debris off of the foam sleeve with a
rapid up and down movement.
47. Hold foam sleeve under running water for a minute
or two, rinsing from the inside of the filter. A water wash
is not always required, depending on the condition of
the foam sleeve.
48. Check the filter for tears. If any are found, replace
with a new filter.

NOTE: For maximum performance, when vacuuming,
remove blower port cover.
obstructions. Insert machine
hose end with locking nut
into blower port and tighten
tank into drains that are located above floor level.
AUTOMATIC SUCTION
SHUT OFF
51. 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
52. No lubrication is necessary as the motor is equipped
with lifetime lubricated bearings.
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
50. To empty tank, turn unit off and remove plug from
the wall receptacle. To empty liquid into floor drain the
vacuum is equipped with easy flow drain. Twist drain
cap until liquid starts to flow. Pull drain out keeping
opening at the bottom. The further you pull out the
faster the liquid will flow. After the tank is empty, return
the drain cap to its original position. To continue use,
plug the cord into the wall receptacle and turn the unit
on. Use side carry handles for lifting vac when draining
