OPERATION
VACUUMING DRY MATERIALS
1. The Filter must always be correctly installed to
avoid leaks and possible Vac damage.
2. To maintain peak performance when vacuuming
fine dust, clean the Dust Drum and Filter regularly.
NOTE: Do not use a wet Filter when picking up dry
material. The Filter will quickly clog and be difficult to
clean.
3. If the Filter is wet, you must allow it to dry
completely or replace it with a dry Filter before
using the Vac to pick up dry material.
VACUUMING LIQUIDS
1. Vacuuming up small amounts of liquid (less than
2" (5 cm) collected in Dust Drum) does not require
Filter removal.
2. When larger amounts of liquid are to be picked up,
remove all dry use only Paper Filter(s) and replace
with a RIDGID wet application Foam Filter. Do Not
remove the Filter Cage or Float. The Foam Filter is
specifically designed for high volume liquid pick up.
If the paper Filter is used and becomes saturated,
you may see "mist" coming from the Blower Port.
3. When the Dust Drum is "full" the Float will rise and
cut off airflow. The motor sound will rise in pitch
and its speed will increase indicating the Dust Drum
is "full". Turn OFF the Vac and unplug the power
cord before emptying the Dust Drum.
4. Following use of Vac for wet pick up, allow Filter to
dry completely to avoid mildew and Filter damage.
IMPORTANT: To reduce the risk of damage to the Vac,
do not run Motor with Float in raised position.
WARNING:
!
Do not operate without filter cage and float, as
they prevent liquid from entering the impeller and
damaging the motor.
