Lubrication; Storage; Troubleshooting - Shop-Vac LB600C User Manual

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 ITS NORMAL POSITION, AND YOU WILL BE ABLE TO
CONTINUE OPERATION.

LUBRICATION

68. No lubrication is necessary as the motor is equipped
with lifetime lubricated bearings.
