• Do not use with damaged cord, plug or
other parts. If your Vac is not working
as it should, has missing parts, has
been dropped, damaged, left outdoors,
or dropped into water, contact RIDGID
Customer Service.
• Do not pull or carry by cord, use cord
as handle, close a door on cord, or pull
cord around sharp edges or corners.
Do not run Vac over cord. Keep cord
away from heated surfaces.
• Do not handle plug, switch, or the Vac
with wet hands.
• Use only extension cords that are rated
for outdoor use. Extension cords in
poor condition or too small in wire size
can pose fire and shock hazards.
To reduce the risk of these hazards,
be sure the cord is in good condition
and that liquid does not contact the
connection. Do not use an extension
cord with conductors smaller than 16
gauge (AWG) in size. To reduce power
loss, use a 14 gauge extension cord if
25 to 50 ft. long and 12 gauge for 50 ft.
or longer.
• This Wet/Dry Vac is double-insulated,
eliminating the need for a separate
grounding system. Use only identical
replacement parts. Read the
instructions for Servicing Double-
Insulated Wet/Dry Vacs before
servicing.
• Do not put any object into ventilation
openings. Do not vacuum with any
ventilation openings blocked; keep free
of dust, lint, hair or anything that may
reduce air flow.
• Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and
all parts of body away from openings
and moving parts.
• To reduce the risk of falls, use extra
care when cleaning on stairs.
• To reduce the risk of back injury or
falls, do not lift a Vac that is heavy with
liquid or debris. Partially empty the
Vac by scooping debris or draining
liquid to make it comfortable to lift.

damage to Vac, use only Ridgid
recommended accessories.
