Filter

Your 14 Gallon Professional Wet/Dry Vac
is supplied with RIDGID's VF5000 Fine
Dust Filter. Replacement VF5000 Fine
Dust Filters are available where you
purchased your Vac. Ask for the RIDGID
VF5000 Fine Dust Filter.
NOTE: The filter is made of high quality
paper designed to stop very small
particles of dust. The filter can be used
for dry pick up or small amounts of liquid.
Handle the filter carefully when removing
to clean or installing it. Creases in the
filter pleats may occur from installation
but will not affect the performance of the
filter.

Filter Removal

Refer to page 42 "Filter Removal and
Installation" Section of this manual.
IMPORTANT: To avoid damage to the
blower wheel and motor, always reinstall
the filter before using the Vac for dry
material pick-up.

Cleaning A Dry Filter
NOTE: For best cleaning results due to
accumulated dust, clean the filter in an
open area. Cleaning SHOULD be done
outdoors and not in the living quarters.
1. Remove filter from Vac. Gently tap filter
against the inside wall of your dust
drum. The debris will loosen and fall.
2. For thorough cleaning of dry filter with
fine dust (no debris), run water through
it as described under "Cleaning A
Wet Filter".
Cleaning A Wet Filter
After filter is removed, run water through
the filter from a hose or spigot. Take care
that water pressure from the hose is not
strong enough to damage filter.
IMPORTANT: After cleaning, check the filter
for tears or small holes. Do not use a filter
with holes or tears in it. Even a small hole
can cause a lot of dust to come out of your
Vac. If your filter is damaged or worn,
replace it immediately.
Allow the filter to dry before reinstalling
and storing the Vac.
