Operating Instructions
General Operation
Once assembled and plugged into a 120-volt outlet, turn the vacuum on using the power switch located on the top of the unit. The powerful 5.5 Peak HP motor provides strong suction for various cleaning needs.
Wet Pickup
Ensure the foam filter sleeve is installed for wet pickup. This vacuum is designed to clean damp sewage, spills, and other liquids. Do not pick up flammable or combustible liquids.

Maintenance
Filter Care

The cartridge filter can be cleaned by tapping off loose dirt or rinsing with water and allowing it to air dry completely. The foam filter sleeve can be rinsed with water and air dried. Replace disposable filter bags when full.

General Cleaning
Wipe down the exterior of the vacuum with a damp cloth. Periodically check the hose and accessories for blockages and clear them as needed.
Troubleshooting
If your vacuum is not operating as expected, please check the following common issues:
- No Power: Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working 120-volt outlet. Check the circuit breaker.
- Loss of Suction: Check if the filter is clogged and needs cleaning or replacement. Inspect the hose and attachments for blockages. Ensure the tank lid is securely latched.
- Motor Overheating: Turn off the vacuum and unplug it. Allow it to cool down. Check for blockages or full filters that might be causing the motor to work harder.
For persistent issues, please contact Shop-Vac customer support.
