The Shop-Vac 6060 is a 20 gallon wet/dry vacuum. However, most shop vacuums don't use a bag. They do have a paper filter when you are using them for dry clean up. This site, https://www.appliancefactoryparts.com/vacuumcleaners/shop-vac/6060.html , has the manual and replacement parts. The filter is listed first in the parts section.
Maybe it over heated or the hose was jammed. Unplug it for a few minutes, check the hose for any stuck debris, then plug it back in. Shop vacs also come with a filter. If the filter is too dirty, it might have shut off as a safety precaution to not cause a fire. Follow directions to clean the filter. Hope this helped. Dee
The bags you ordered are for the ZR 80 type. After veiwing the link you submitted for the type of dry vac you have, these bags will not work with your Classic canister Vac. The filters you need simply go over the intake area,sort of like a coffee filter upside down, the a mounting ring slides over the filter and slid down until it can not go any further,the ring holds the filter in place.(over the foam filter)
Hi, I know on my Craftsman shop vac 2 different sizes of vacs that I use, I try and stick to the craftsman filters, but you can use other brands if they are not available or you want to save some ( $ ) ? As far as a manual for this vac, more then likely you will have to go to the maker and distributor as Sears, O.C.Hardware also sell there products. You may have to go with a manual that is the same peak H.P.and gallons that covers all different makes and models. Filter wise, make sure you have the right ones on or off when using the wet or dry pick-up settings. Sincerely, Shastalaker7
Hi,
Yes there should be a filter fitted onto the top section.
For suppliers, it would be cheapest to find your nearest stockist, or buy online and have it shipped. It's still current stock - so spares should be readily available.
When you use the shop vac for cleaning up water you must remove the filter.
The filter is for dust particles not for water
I would replace your filter and dump the water out from the shop vac, Also after each time you vacuum up water dump it out of shop vac.
IT looks like the part number is 429704-56 and the Dewalt site shows list price being $51.68. You should be able to order that filter at a DeWalt dealer in your area, hopefully for a discount.
Otherwise, there is here online: http://www.ereplacementparts.com/search_result.php?osCsid=2c10ce07c62a161bca9f80f981bf690f
