Re: Are COTS shop vacs legal? They have motors

What part of <R53> is hard for you to understand? If it isn't permitted, it's prohibited. <R52> lists the only permitted motors.

If you have a motor that is not listed in <R52>, then you have to replace it with one that is listed in <R52>.

By using the stock motor with the vacuum, you violate <R53> and, by extension, <R30-B>.

Your team member needs to re-read <R52> and <R53>.
