ASSEMBLY
BACKPACK ERGONOMICS (Fig. 7)
1. Always use the harness carry handle to pick up the
Backpack Vac (A).
2. The weight of the Backpack Vac should be evenly
distributed on your hips.
3. Adjust the padded waist belt and shoulder straps for
a custom fit.
4. Use the proper accessory attachments for the job.
RIDGID has accessory attachments to perform
most jobs without requiring you to bend over or
getting into difficult positions.
WEARING THE BACKPACK VAC
(Figs. 8A, 8B, 8C, 8D, 8E, & 8F)
1. Loosen the shoulder straps and the waist belt.
Lift the Backpack Vac (A) and slide your arms
through the shoulder straps. The upper harness
can also be adjusted by tightening or loosening the
upper harness buckles for a custom fit (Fig 8A).
2. Connect the waist strap buckles (Fig. 8B).
3. Tighten the waist belt by grabbing the ends of the
waist belt straps and pulling each end toward each
other and then directly outward from the center
of the body (Fig. 8C). It is very important that the
weight of the unit be concentrated on your hips
rather than your shoulders.
4. Adjust the shoulder straps so that the unit fits
comfortably, but the weight is still concentrated on
your hips (Fig. 8D).
5. Connect the sternum strap buckles (Fig. 8E).
6. Tighten the sternum strap by grabbing the ends of
the sternum straps and pulling each end toward
each other and then directly outward from the
center of the body (Fig. 8F).
