Operation (Continued)
Diffuser
This Vac comes equipped with a diffuser
that can be inserted into the exhaust port
of the vacuum when it's not being used
as a blower. This diffuser is adjustable
and can be used to change the flow and
direction of the vacuum's exhaust away
from areas you may not want it blowing.
Maintenance
Filter
This Smart-Pulse vacuum is supplied with
two of the RIDGID's Qwik Lock™ PTFE
Filters. Replacement Filters are available
where you purchased your Vac. Ask for
the RIDGID Qwik Lock™ Filter VF3800.
NOTE: The filters are made of high
quality material designed to stop very
small particles of dust. The filters can
only be used for dry pick up. Handle the
filters carefully when removing, cleaning,
or installing them. Creases in the filter
pleats may occur from installation but will
not affect the performance of the filter.
Static-Dissipating Accessory
Hose
An optional accessory hose, VT2580,
can be used with this Vac to reduce the
effects of static charge buildup. In dry
conditions and when vacuuming large
amounts of fine/dry dust, static charge
can build up on the hose or Vac.
The VT2580 hose will dissipate static
charge, through the ground conductor in
the cord.
