Troubleshooting - Shop-Vac SS11 Serie Manual Del Usuario

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 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 paragraph.
NOTE: IF ACCIDENTALLY TIPPED OVER, THE VACUUM COULD LOSE SUCTION. IF THIS
OCCURS, PLACE VAC IN UPRIGHT POSITION AND TURN SWITCH OFF. 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.
Before storing your vacuum cleaner the tank should be emptied
and cleaned. The power cord can be wrapped around the cord
wraps provided on the tank cover on rear of unit (Figure 49).
Accessories may be stored in the tool holder (not standard on all
models) so they can be readily available. The vacuum should be
stored indoors.
