Maintenance (continued)
Cleaning and Disinfecting the
Wet/Dry Vac
To keep your Wet/Dry Vac looking its
best, clean the outside with a cloth
dampened with warm water and mild
soap.
To clean the drum:
1. Dump debris out.
2. Wash drum thoroughly with warm water
and mild soap.
3. Wipe out with dry cloth.
Before prolonged storage or as needed
(i.e., waste water pick up) the drum
should be disinfected.
To disinfect the drum:
1. Pour 1 gallon of water and 1 teaspoon
chlorine bleach into the drum.
2. Let solution stand for 20 minutes,
carefully swishing every few minutes,
making sure to wet all inside surfaces
of the drum.
3. Empty drum after 20 minutes. Rinse
with water until bleach smell is gone.
Allow drum to dry completely before
sealing the motor on the drum.

Cord Maintenance

When vacuuming is complete, unplug the
cord and store it properly under the left
cover (see "Cord, Hoses and Accessory
Storage" section on page 7). If the power
cord is damaged, it must be replaced by
the manufacturer or their service agent or
by similarly qualified personnel to reduce
the risk of accident.

Storage

Before storing your Vac, the drum should
be emptied and cleaned. The cord should
be stored properly inside the unit and the
hose should be stored as described in
this manual. Accessories should be kept
in the same area as the Vac so they can
be readily available. The Vac should be
stored indoors.

Wheels

Should your wheels squeak or become
hard to roll, you should place two or three
drops of general purpose oil on each
wheel at the axle.

Handles

Liquids and corrosive debris should be
wiped off with a soft cloth should they
come in contact with the handles.
WARNING: To assure product
SAFETY and RELIABILITY, any other
maintenance, repairs, or adjustments
should be performed by Authorized
service centers, always using
RIDGID replacement parts.
