WARNING

– DO NOT LEAVE VACUUM UNATTENDED

WHEN IT IS PLUGGED IN AND/OR OPERATING. UNPLUG UNIT WHEN NOT IN

USE.

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.

PAGE 3

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS (CONT’D.)

WARNING

– 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 adaptor that looks like the adaptor 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 adaptor 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 adaptor

must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the

adaptor 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

adaptor 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 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.

UNPACKING

Remove vacuum cleaner and all accessories from the carton. Important: Open tank cover by pushing latches

or clamps outward with thumbs and remove any accessories that may have been shipped in the tank.

FILTER INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE

FILTRATION SYSTEM

There are a variety of ﬁlters available for your vacuum. There are cage ﬁlters that install onto the underside

of the tank cover and tank ﬁlters that install into the tank. The ﬁlters are grouped into three ﬁltration

categories. General ﬁltration is used for large debris; such as, wood chips, nails and gravel. Medium

ﬁltration is used for medium debris; such as, dirt, sand and sawdust. Fine ﬁltration is used for ﬁne debris;

such as drywall dust, cold ash and cement dust. It is important to have the correct ﬁlters installed for your

cleaning operation to protect your vacuum motor. THE MOST EFFICIENT FILTRATION FOR YOUR VACUUM IS A

FINE FILTRATION CAGE FILTER WITH A FINE FILTRATION TANK FILTER.

NOTE: When using the vacuum to pick up very ﬁne dust. It will be necessary to empty the tank and clean

the cage ﬁlter at more frequent intervals to maintain maximum pick up power or add a disposable ﬁlter bag.

DRY PICK UP OPERATION

NOTE: Never use the vacuum for dry pick up without a dry use ﬁlter installed. Using the vacuum without a

ﬁlter will cause dust to discharge from the blower port and cause damage to the motor.

WARNING – ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE PLUG FROM THE WALL OUTLET

BEFORE REMOVING THE TANK COVER.

Follow the instructions for the ﬁlter that came with your vacuum. Some ﬁlters mentioned do not come

standard with all vacuums. Additional ﬁlters are available at your local dealer or the Shop-Vac

website.

CARTRIDGE FILTER

The cartridge ﬁlter can be used for dry pick up and small quantities of wet pick up. Installation is the same

for both. When picking up ﬁne dust or powders a high efﬁciency ﬁlter bag must be used with the cartridge

ﬁlter.

1. If a foam sleeve is installed on the lid cage, remove it by sliding it off the lid cage. NOTE: If the cartridge

ﬁlter has been used for wet pick up, it must be cleaned and dried before using it for dry pick up.

FILTER INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE

(CONT’D.)

2. With the tank cover in an upside down position, slide the cartridge down over the lid

cage, pushing until the ﬁlter seals against the cover.

3. Place the ﬁlter retainer into the top of the cartridge ﬁlter. Hold the tank cover with

one hand, turn the handle on the ﬁlter retainer clockwise to lock the ﬁlter into place.

4. To remove the ﬁlter for cleaning, hold the tank cover and turn the ﬁlter retainer

counter-clockwise to loosen and remove.

5. Slide the cartridge ﬁlter off the lid cage.

6. For standard cartridge ﬁlters and Ultra-Web

cartridge ﬁlters, clean the ﬁlter by shaking or gently

brushing off excess dirt. Extremely dirty ﬁlters may be cleaned with water by rinsing from the inside of

the ﬁlter. Dry completely (approximately 24 hours).

For CleanStream

Abrasive Resistant cartridge ﬁlter, tap end cap against hard surface to loosen debris.

Additional debris can be removed by rinsing outside surface of the ﬁlter with running water. Avoid

dampening inside of ﬁlter. Completely air dry after washing. IMPORTANT: DO NOT BRUSH. DO NOT

clean ﬁlter with abrasive materials or scrub between pleats. This will permanently damage the ﬁlters

ability to stop dust.

7. 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 tear.

NOTICE – This ﬁlter is made of high quality paper designed to stop small

particles of dust. The ﬁlter can be used for wet or dry pick up. A dry ﬁlter is necessary to

pick up dry material. If you use your vac to pick up dust when the ﬁlter is wet, the ﬁlter

will clog quickly and be very difﬁcult to clean. The ﬁlter may become saturated when

picking up large quantities of liquid causing misting to appear in the exhaust air. At this

time, you should dry or change the ﬁlter to eliminate this occurrence. Please handle the

ﬁlter carefully when removing it for cleaning or when installing it. Check the ﬁlter for tears

or small holes. Even a small hole can cause dust to be exhausted. Do not use a ﬁlter with

holes or tears. Replace it immediately.

WARNING – 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.

DISPOSABLE FILTER BAG

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

must be used. NOTE: For dry use only.

Follow the instructions that pertain to your vacuum.

TANK WITH STATIONARY INLET DEFLECTOR:

1. Make sure the cord is disconnected from the receptacle, tank cover is removed and the hose is

disconnected from tank inlet.

3. When secured in place, expand the ﬁlter bag and position around the inside of the

tank.

TANK WITH REMOVABLE INLET DEFLECTOR:

1. Make sure the cord is disconnected from the receptacle, tank cover is removed and the hose is

disconnected from tank inlet.

2. Remove inlet deﬂector from deﬂector guide. NOTE: Hose must be removed before

inlet deﬂector can be taken out.

3. With the opening of the inlet deﬂector facing the left or right side of the ﬁlter bag,

slide ﬁlter bag collar over deﬂector matching notches of bag collar to tabs on inlet

deﬂector. Bag will only ﬁt properly one way.

4. Slide deﬂector with ﬁlter bag attached into deﬂector guide.

5. Reinsert hose into inlet and tighten locking-nut. When secured in place expand bag and position around

inside of tank.

6. NOTE: When removing ﬁlter bag from tank, remove inlet deﬂector from ﬁlter bag collar and reinstall into

deﬂector guide. Inlet deﬂector should always be in place for any type of cleaning.

WARNING – FOR FINE DUST AND 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.

WET PICK UP OPERATION

1. Your vacuum can be used for wet pick up. Remove ALL dirt and debris found in the tank. Remove all dry

use ﬁlters, including the ﬁlter bag, from the vacuum.

2. A clean cartridge ﬁlter may be used to pick up small quantities of liquid. To use the cartridge ﬁlter; follow

the instructions under dry pick up.

3. For vacuuming large quantities of liquid use a foam sleeve. If a foam sleeve did not come standard with

your unit, one may be purchased at your local dealer, the Shop-Vac

website or by contacting Shop-Vac

customer service. To use the foam sleeve; follow the instructions in this section.

4. 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.

5. 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 the automatic suction shut

FILTER INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE

(CONT’D.)

off section for more information. Raise the hose to drain any excess liquid into the tank. Follow the

instructions in the emptying liquid waste section.

6. 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.

7. 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

1. With the tank cover in an upside down position, slide the foam sleeve down over the

lid cage, pulling until foam sleeve completely covers the lid cage.

2. To clean the foam sleeve, side it up and off the lid cage. Shake excess debris off of the

foam sleeve with a rapid up and down movement.

3. Hold foam sleeve under running water for a couple minutes, rinsing from the inside of

the ﬁlter. A water wash is not always required, depending on the condition of the ﬁlter.

4. Check the ﬁlter for tears. If any are found, replace with a new ﬁlter.

BLOWER FEATURE

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 – 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

To empty liquid waste from the tank, turn the vacuum off and remove the plug from the wall outlet. Follow

the instructions that pertain to your vacuum.

WITHOUT TANK DRAIN

Remove the tank cover 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 tank is empty, return the tank cover to

its original position.

WITH TANK DRAIN

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.

PAGE 12

PAGE 13

LUBRICATION

No lubrication is necessary as the motor is equipped with lifetime lubricated bearings.

STORAGE

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.

5. N’utilisez pas l’appareil avec un cordon d’alimentation ou une ﬁche endommagé(e). Communiquez avec

le Service d’assistance de Shop-Vac

si l’appareil ne fonctionne pas comme prévu, a subi un choc,

est endommagé, a été oublié à l’extérieur ou s’il a été immergé dans l’eau.

6. Ne pas : tirer sur le cordon d’alimentation ou transporter l’appareil par celui-ci, l’utiliser comme

poignée, fermer une porte sur le cordon ni le contraindre sur des bords tranchants ou des coins. Ne

passez pas l’appareil sur le cordon d’alimentation. Tenez le cordon d’alimentation à l’écart des surfaces

chauffées.

7. Ne tirez pas sur le cordon d’alimentation pour débrancher l’appareil. Pour ce faire, saisissez la ﬁche et

non le cordon d’alimentation.

8. Ne manipulez pas la ﬁche ou l’appareil avec des mains mouillées.

9. N’insérez aucun objet dans les ouvertures. N’utilisez pas l’appareil avec des ouvertures bloquées,

maintenez-les exemptes de poussières, de peluches, de cheveux ou de tous éléments qui pourraient

réduire l’admission d’air.

10. Tenez les cheveux, les vêtements amples, les doigts et toutes parties du corps à l’écart des ouvertures

et des pièces mobiles.

11. N’aspirez aucun élément qui brûle ou qui émet de la fumée comme des cigarettes, des allumettes ou

des cendres chaudes.

12. Ne faites pas fonctionner l’appareil sans le sac à poussière et/ou les ﬁltres en position.

13. Éteignez toutes les commandes avant de le débrancher.

14. Soyez très attentif lors du nettoyage dans les escaliers.

15. N’utilisez pas l’appareil pour aspirer des liquides inﬂammables ou combustibles comme de l’essence.

Ne le faites pas fonctionner en présence de tels liquides.

16. N’utilisez pas l’aspirateur comme un vaporisateur de liquides inﬂammables comme des peintures à

base d’huile, des vernis-laques, des produits de nettoyage domestiques, etc.

18. N’aspirez pas de particules de suie ou de poussières de ciment, de plâtre ou de cloison sèche sans le

ﬁltre à cartouche et le sac-ﬁltre à poussière en position. Ces particules sont très ﬁnes et risquent de

passer à travers la mousse et ainsi nuire au rendement du moteur ou d’être rejetées dans l’atmosphère.

Des sacs-ﬁltres à poussière supplémentaires sont offerts.

19. Une fois le service de nettoyage terminé, ramassez le cordon d’alimentation déployé sur le plancher. Il

risque de faire trébucher un passant.

20. Soyez particulièrement prudent lors de la vidange de réservoirs très pleins et lourds.

21. Pour éviter tout risque de combustion spontanée, videz le réservoir après chacune des utilisations.

22. L’utilisation d’un aspirateur utilitaire peut se solder par la projection de corps étrangers qui pourraient

blesser les yeux. Portez toujours des lunettes de sécurité lors de l’utilisation de l’aspirateur.

AVERTISSEMENT

– NE LAISSEZ PAS L’ASPIRATEUR

SANS SURVEILLANCE S’IL EST BRANCHÉ OU EN FONCTIONNEMENT.

DÉBRANCHEZ L’APPAREIL LORSQU’IL N’EST PAS UTILISÉ.

DIRECTIVES RELATIVES À LA MI SE À LA TERRE

Cet appareil doit être mis à la terre. En cas de défectuosité ou de bris, la mise à la terre offre une voie de

moindre résistance pour le passage du courant électrique et réduit ainsi le risque de décharge électrique.

Cet appareil est muni d’un cordon d’alimentation doté d’un ﬁl conducteur et d’une ﬁche mise à la terre. Il

faut insérer la ﬁche dans une prise correspondante adéquate correctement installée et mise à la terre en

conformité avec tous les codes et toutes les ordonnances locales en vigueur.

AVERTISSEMENT– UNE CONNEXION INCORRECTE DU CONDUCTEUR

DE TERRE DU MATÉRIEL PEUT CRÉER UN RISQUE DE DÉCHARGE ÉLECTRIQUE. VÉRIFIEZ

AUPRÈS D’UN ÉLECTRICIEN PROFESSIONNEL OU DE PERSONNEL QUALIFIÉ EN ENTRETIEN

ET RÉPARATION SI VOUS AVEZ DES DOUTES RELATIFS À LA BONNE MISE À LA TERRE

DE LA PRISE. NE MODIFIEZ PAS LA FICHE FOURNIE AVEC L’APPAREIL. SI ELLE N’EST

PAS COMPATIBLE AVEC LA PRISE, FAITES CHANGER LA PRISE PAR UN ÉLECTRICIEN

PROFESSIONNEL.

Cet appareil est conçu pour fonctionner sur un circuit de 120 volts de tension nominale et il est muni

d’une ﬁche mise à la terre semblable à celle illustrée au croquis A. Il est possible d’utiliser un adaptateur

temporaire semblable à celui illustré aux croquis B et C pour raccorder cette prise à un réceptacle bipolaire

comme illustré au croquis B, si une prise correctement mise à la terre n’est pas disponible. Utilisez cet

adaptateur temporaire jusqu’à l’installation d’une prise correctement mise à la terre (croquis A) par un

électricien professionnel. L’oreille ou la cosse rigide (ou un élément semblable) de couleur verte qui fait

saillie de l’adaptateur doit être raccordée à une mise à la terre permanente comme le couvercle d’une boîte

à prises correctement mise à la terre. À chacune des utilisations de l’adaptateur, il faut le ﬁxer en place

avec une vis métallique.

AU CANADA, L’UTILISATION D’UN ADAPTATEUR PROVISOIRE N’EST PAS AUTORISÉE PAR LE CODE CANADIEN

DE L’ÉLECTRICITÉ. Assurez-vous que l’appareil est relié à une prise ayant la même conﬁguration que la

ﬁche. Aucun adaptateur ne devrait être utilisé avec cet appareil.

RALLONGES

Lorsque vous passez l’aspirateur à une distance qui nécessite l’utilisation d’une rallonge, vous

devez utiliser un cordon de mise à la terre à 3 conducteurs de calibre adéquat pour assurer la

sécurité et empêcher la perte de puissance et la surchauffe de l’appareil. Utilisez le Tableau

A pour déterminer le calibre de ﬁl AWG requis. Pour déterminer l’intensité nominale de votre

appareil, reportez-vous à la plaque située sur le capot du moteur. Avant d’utiliser l’appareil, inspectez le

cordon d’alimentation pour déceler les ﬁls desserrés ou exposés et les dommages d’isolation éventuels.

Procédez à toutes les réparations et à tous les remplacements nécessaires avant d’utiliser votre appareil.

Utilisez uniquement les rallonges pour l’extérieur, à trois ﬁls, munies de ﬁches de mise à la terre à trois

broches et les prises de courant trois pôles qui acceptent la ﬁche de la rallonge. Lorsque vous utilisez votre

aspirateur pour ramasser des liquides, assurez-vous que le branchement de la rallonge ne contacte pas le

liquide.
