Grounding Instructions; Extension Cords; Dry Filter - Shop-Vac 92L Series User Manual

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 EQUIP-
MENT-GROUNDING CONDUCTOR CAN RESULT IN A RISk OF ELEC-
TRIC 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
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 the table below to determine A.W.G. wire size required. To determine ampere rating of your vacuum,
refer to nameplate located on rear of motor cover. 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 APPLI-
ANCE. 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.

and under the side carrying handles. Be sure to spread the ends of the
carriage handles when assembling to prevent damage to the tank. Align
holes of carriage handle to holes in tank and fasten tightly with screws,
washers, and nuts provided. The sealing washer and screw have a close
fitting tolerance. Rubber side of sealing washer should fit against inside

WARNING
– ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE PLUG FROM
THE WALL OUTLET BEFORE REMOVING THE TANk COVER.
When using the reusable dry filter to pick up dust and dry
material, you must install foam sleeve and reusable dry filter
to ensure proper filtration. If the vacuum has been used
to pick up liquids, the foam sleeve must be cleaned and
dried before installing for dry pick up. With tank cover in an
upside down position, slide foam sleeve down over lid cage
pulling until foam sleeve completely covers lid cage (Figure
8). NOTE: Bottom of foam sleeve must be positioned on the
OUTSIDE of groove around lid cage for the reusable dry filter
to fit properly (Figure 9, 10). Center the reusable dry filter
on lid cage (Figure 11), slide mounting ring down over filter
until ring is positioned against the ribs of the lid cage (Figure
12). The reusable dry filter should always be in position over
the foam sleeve for dry pick up. To remove the filter for clean-
ing, remove mounting ring and filter from lid cage (Figure
13). To clean the reusable dry filter, shake off excess dirt
and dust or (depending on the condition of the filter) rinse
with water. Allow the filter to dry completely and re-install. DO NOT MAChINE WASh OR DRY.
