SP6775 RV2400HF ESF RIDGID 8/31/10 3:25 PM Page 12 Operation (continued) Vacuuming Dry Materials 1. The filter must always be in correct position to reduce the risk of leaks and possible damage to Vac. 2. Your Wet/Dry Vac comes with the certified HEPA filter installed. When using your Vac to pick up very fine dust, it will be necessary for you to empty the drum and clean the filter at more frequent intervals to maintain peak Vac performance. For best results, use the certified HEPA filter (HF1000) in conjunction with the pre-filter (HF0500) and the filter collection bag (VF3502). NOTE: A dry filter is necessary to pick up dry material. If you use your Vac to pick up dust when the filter is wet, the filter will clog quickly and be very difficult to clean. Emptying the Drum 1. The Vac comes equipped with a drain for easy emptying of liquids. Simply unscrew the drain cap and lift the opposite side slightly to empty the drum. 2. Another option is to remove the power head assembly. 3. Lay power head assembly aside on a clean area while emptying drum. 4. Dump the drum contents into the proper waste disposal container. ! WARNING: To reduce the risk of back injury or falls, do not lift a Vac heavy with liquid or debris. Scoop or drain enough contents out to make the Vac light enough to lift comfortably. Vacuuming Liquids 1. When picking up small amounts of liquid the cartridge filter (HF1000 may be left in place, but the bag filter, if used, should be removed. 2. When picking up large amounts of liquid all filters can be removed. IMPORTANT: While filters are removed this Vac no longer meets EPA RRP guidelines for dry pickup. Moving the Wet/Dry Vac Should it become necessary to pick the Vac up to move it, the handle on the sides of the dust drum are used to lift. To maneuver the Vac, the push/pull handle on the power head of the unit should be used. 3. If filters are removed during liquid pickup, the float mechanism will rise automatically to cut off air-flow. When this happens, turn off the Vac, unplug the power cord, and empty the drum. You will know that the float has risen because Vac airflow ceases and the motor noise will become higher in pitch, due to increased motor speed. 4. After using the Vac to pick up liquids, the filters must be dried to reduce the risk of possible mildew and damage to the filters. IMPORTANT: To reduce the risk of damage to the Vac, do not run motor with float in raised position. 12
