Introduction
This manual provides instructions for the proper installation, operation, and maintenance of your Shop-Vac 90668 Type B All Around Collection Bags. These bags are designed for use with compatible 2-2.5 gallon Shop-Vac wet/dry vacuums. Adhering to these instructions will help ensure optimal performance and longevity of your vacuum bags.
Setup: Installing the Collection Bag
Before installing a new collection bag, ensure your Shop-Vac wet/dry vacuum is unplugged from the power source to prevent accidental startup.
- Open the Vacuum: Unlatch and remove the power head from the vacuum tank.
- Remove Old Bag (if applicable): If replacing an old bag, carefully remove it from the inlet and dispose of it properly.
- Prepare New Bag: Unfold the new Shop-Vac 90668 Type B collection bag. Locate the cardboard collar on the bag.
- Attach Bag to Inlet: Slide the cardboard collar of the new bag firmly over the vacuum's inlet port inside the tank. Ensure the collar is securely seated and forms a tight seal around the port. Caution: Avoid tearing the bag or collar during installation.
- Position Bag: Gently push the bag into the tank, ensuring it does not obstruct the filter cage or other internal components.
- Close Vacuum: Replace the power head onto the tank and secure the latches.

Operating Your Vacuum with the Collection Bag
Once the collection bag is correctly installed, your Shop-Vac wet/dry vacuum is ready for use with dry debris. These bags are specifically designed for dry pick-up applications.
- Dry Use Only: These bags are intended for dry debris collection. Using them for wet pick-up can damage the bag and potentially the vacuum.
- Monitor Performance: As the bag fills, you may notice a decrease in suction power. This indicates the bag is nearing its capacity and may need replacement.
- Avoid Overfilling: Do not attempt to overfill the bag, as this can lead to reduced efficiency, bag tearing, or damage to the vacuum.
Maintenance: Replacing and Disposing of Bags
Regular replacement of the collection bag is essential for maintaining optimal vacuum performance and preventing damage.
- When to Replace: Replace the bag when suction power noticeably decreases, or when the bag appears full. Do not wait until the bag is completely rigid with debris.
- Replacement Procedure: Follow the installation steps in the "Setup" section in reverse to remove the old bag. Ensure the vacuum is unplugged.
- Disposal: Carefully remove the full bag, ensuring no debris escapes. Dispose of the used bag according to local waste disposal regulations.
- Filter Check: While replacing the bag, it is a good practice to inspect the main filter for cleanliness and damage. Clean or replace the main filter as needed.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
| Issue | Possible Cause | Solution |
