Emptying The Drum; Moving The Wet/Dry Vac - RIDGID RV24000 Manual Del Usuario

Operation (cont.)
3. After using the Vac to pick up liquids,
the Filter must be dried to reduce the
risk of possible mildew and damage
to the Filter.
4. When the liquid in the Drum reaches
a predetermined level, the Float
mechanism will rise automatically to
cut off air-flow. When this happens,
turn off the Vac, unplug the Power
Cord, and empty the Drum. You will
know that the Float has risen because
Vac airflow ceases and the motor
noise will become higher in pitch, due
to increased motor speed.
IMPORTANT: To reduce the risk of
damage to the Vac, do not run Motor
with Float in raised position.
