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 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 Blowing Port.
3. When the 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 Drum is "full". Turn OFF the
Vac and unplug the power cord before emptying the
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.
EMPTYING THE DUST DRUM (Fig. 8)
WARNING:
