DO NOT LEAVE VACUUM
UNATTENDED WHEN IT
IS PLUGGED IN AND/OR
OPERATING. UNPLUG UNIT
WHEN NOT IN USE.
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.
IMPROPER CONNECTION OF THE EQUIPMENT-
GROUNDING 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.
WARNING!
WARNING!
GROUNDING
INSTRUCTIONS
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.
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 three-
pole 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.

27. Check the filter for tears or small holes. If none are
found, reinstall the filter. To prevent damage to your
vacuum, do not use a filter with a hole or a tear.
KEEP FILTERS CLEAN. 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.
INSTALLING THE DISPOSABLE FILTER BAG:
28. Use the disposable filter bag in conjunction with the
cartridge filter for easy disposal of the debris. The bag
is not required for normal dry pick up. When picking up
fine dust or powders a high efficiency filter bag (not
standard with all models) must be used.
NOTE: Use for dry pick up only.

36. 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.
37. 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.
38. 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.
39. 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.
40. 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.
41. 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:
42. With tank cover in an upside
down position, slide foam sleeve
down over lid cage pulling until foam
sleeve completely covers lid cage.
FIGURE 27.
WET PICK UP
OPERATION
43. To clean the foam sleeve, disconnect the plug from
the wall outlet. Remove the tank cover and place the
cover in an upside-down position. Remove foam sleeve
by sliding it up and off the lid cage.
44. Shake excess debris off of the foam sleeve with a
rapid up and down movement.
45. 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.
46. Check the filter for tears. If any are found, replace
with a new filter.
47. Your vacuum can be used as a
powerful blower. To use your unit as
a blower, unscrew blower port cover
located on the backside of the tank
cover. Clear hose of any
obstructions. Insert machine hose
end with locking nut into blower port
and tighten locking-nut.
FIGURE 28. Do not over-tighten. Caution should be
used when using as a blower due to the powerful force
of air when using certain attachments.
NOTE: For maximum performance, when vacuuming,
remove blower port cover.
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.
48. Your wet/dry vacuum can be emptied
of liquid waste by removing the drain cap. To empty,
turn unit off and remove plug from the wall receptacle.
Remove the drain cap and deposit the liquid waste
contents in a suitable drain. 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 tank into drains that are located above floor
level.
49. 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.
