Shop-Vac 6045 Series User Manual page 8

You will find one carriage handle and a handle pack containing two side tank handles, four handle supports
and eight screws. Assemble as follows:
1. Take two handle supports and two 1" screws. Place screws through the hole provided
in center of each support.
2. Position the tank, in the upright position, with the inlet facing you. Put the support
assemblies inside the tank, then place the screws through the holes provided on left
side of the tank. Make sure the plastic portion is located inside the tank. Turn the
supports until the back of the supports fit flush against the inside curve of the tank.
3. Remove any webbing that attaches the tank handles to each other. Take the side tank
handle with the letter L and position it on the outside of the tank where the support
assemblies are installed. The U-shaped cutout on the bottom end of the handle must
face the rear of the tank. Secure the side tank handle to the tank with the screws in
the support assemblies.
4. Repeat steps 1 to 3 using right side of tank and the remaining side tank handle marked with the letter R.
5. Position metal carriage handle outside of tank and under the tank handles. Be sure
to spread ends of carriage handle when assembling to prevent damage to tank. Line
up holes in ends of carriage handle with holes in bottom of tank handles. Make sure
carriage handle is in the U-shaped cut on the tank handles (located towards rear of
unit). Secure with 1½" screws provided.
All other side tank handles, follow these instructions.
Attach carriage handle to tank by inserting bolt through the center hole of handle and tank, secure with
nut provided. Attach side handles with screws provided. Be sure to spread ends of carriage handle when
assembling to prevent damage to tank.
