Automatic Suction Shut-Off; Troubleshooting - Shop-Vac H87 Serie Manual Del Usuario

EMPTYING LIqUID WASTES
FROM THE TANk
®
Your Shop-Vac Wet/Dry may be emptied of liquid waste by removing the tank cover. To empty, stop
the motor and remove the plug from the wall receptacle. 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 posi-
tion. To continue use, plug the cord into the wall receptacle and start the motor.

AUTOMATIC SUCTION SHUT-OFF

The vacuum is equipped with an automatic suction shut-off that operates when picking up liquids. As
the 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 nor-
mal 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 paragraph.
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
No lubrication is necessary as the motor is equipped with lifetime lubricated bearings.
STORAGE
1. The power cord can be wrapped around the cord wraps provided on the top of the tank cover located
in front and behind the handle (Figure 19). To remove the cord from the cord wraps grasp the sides
of the rear cord wrap located behind the handle, turn counter clockwise 180° until the tip of the cord
wrap is above the handle (Figure 20). Grasp the entire cord behind the handle and pull above the
rear cord wrap, pull cord towards the front of the vac until the cord becomes disconnected from the
front cord wrap (Figure 21). Grasp the sides of the rear cord wrap and turn clockwise 180° to return
it to its original position (Figure 22).

in hose holder attached to right side of tank cover (Figure 23).
