Blower Feature; Empty Liquid Waste From The Tank; Automatic Suction Shut Off; Lubrication - Shop-Vac 4045AH User Manual

Your vacuum can be used as a powerful blower. To use your unit as a blower insert hose
end into the top exhaust port.
NOTE: Clear hose of any obstructions before attaching to blower port. 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
DEBRIS FROM BEING BLOWN OR RICOCHETING INTO THE EYES OR FACE WHICH CAN
RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY.
EMPTYING LIQUID WASTE FROM THE TANK
Remove the tank cover and deposit the liquid waste contents in a suitable drain. After the tank is empty,
return the cover to its original position.
AUTOMATIC SUCTION SHUT-OFF
he vacuum is equipped with an automatic suction shut-off that operates when picking up liquids. As the
T
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 THE OPERATING
POSITION.
No lubrication is necessary as the motor is equipped with lifetime lubricated bearings.
Before storing your vacuum cleaner the tank should be emptied and cleaned. The power cord can be wound
around the housing of the unit for convenience. This vacuum should be stored indoors.
