Lubrication; Storage; Service; Troubleshooting - Shop-Vac 5HM400 User Manual

No lubrication is necessary as the motor is equipped with lifetime lubricated bearings.
Before storing your vacuum the tank should be emptied and cleaned. The power
cord can be wrapped around the cord wraps provided on the tank cover on front
of vacuum. The hose may be wrapped around the wall bracket and the accessories
stored in the tool bag so they can be readily available. Never allow liquids to sit in
the tank for any extended period of time. The vacuum should be stored indoors.
Do not attempt to service your Shop-Vac
Refer all other servicing to a qualified service center.
