Maintenance (Continued)
Cleaning a Wet Filter
After filter is removed, run water through
the filter from a hose or spigot. Take care
that water pressure is not strong enough
to damage filter. Allow filter to dry out
before re-installing in the vacuum.
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 worn or damaged,
replace it immediately.
Allow the filter to dry before reinstalling
and storing the Vac.
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 wrap it around the motor cover.
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.
If the ALCI is preventing the vacuum
from operating, then the Vac should be
returned to a service center for
examination and repair.
Storage
Before storing your Vac, the drum should
be emptied and cleaned. The cord should
be wrapped around 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.
Casters and Wheels
Should your cart squeak or become hard
to roll, you should place two or three
drops of general purpose oil on each
wheel at the axle. If your casters are
noisy, you may put a drop of oil on the
roller shaft to make them quieter.
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.
