Maintenance Instructions
WARNING
Make sure machine is unplugged from power
source before making any adjustment.
1. Cables should be thoroughly flushed with water after
each use to prevent damaging effects of drain clean-
ing compounds. RIDGID Cable Rust Inhibitor should
be applied prior to storage.
When not in use, store cables indoors to prevent de-
terioration by the elements.
NOTE! Cables should be replaced when they become
severely corroded or worn. A worn cable can
be identified when outside coils of cables be-
come flat.
2. Use a clean cloth to wipe the unit off. Oil, grease
and other substances may cause deterioration. Certain
cleaning agents and solvents damage plastic parts.
Some of these are: gasoline, carbon tetrachloride,
chlorinated cleaning solvents, ammonia and house-
hold detergents that contain ammonia. Avoiding use
of these and other types of cleaning agents mini-
mizes the probability of damage.
3. It is a good idea to regularly drain the inner drums of
any captured liquid. Simply hold the machine nose
down and drain excess liquid each time the machine
is used.
NOTE! Remove the Guide Hose accessory for ease of
draining.
4. Store the unit where it is cool and dry. Avoid those
areas where the temperature will drop to 0°F or ex-
ceed +120°F.
