MAINTENANCE
Cleaning A Dry Filter
1. Some removal of dry debris can be
accomplished without removing the
Filter from the Vac. Slap your hand on
top of the Lid while the Vac is turned
off.
2. 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.
3. After Filter removal from Vac, remove
the dry debris by gently tapping Filter
against the inside wall of your Dust
Drum. The debris will loosen and fall.
4. For thorough cleaning of Dry Filter
with fine dust (no debris), run water
through it as described under "Cleaning
A Wet Filter".
WARNING: To assure product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, any other
!
maintenance, repairs and adjustments should be performed by Authorized Service
Centers, always using RIDGID replacement parts.
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 allow dust to come out of your
Vac. Replace it immediately.
Allow the Filter to dry completely before
reinstalling and storing the Vac or picking
up dry debris.
