Maintenance
RV24000/RV26000 Wet/Dry Vacs are
supplied with RIDGID’s Three-Layer Qwik
Lock™ Filter. Replacement Three-Layer
Qwik Lock™ Filters are available where
you purchased your Vac. Ask for the
RIDGID Three-Layer Qwik Lock™ Filter
VF5000.
NOTE: The filter is made of high quality
paper designed to stop very small
particles of dust. The filter can be used
for wet or dry pick up. Handle the filter
carefully when removing to clean or
installing it. Creases in the filter pleats
may occur from installation but not affect
the performance of the filter.
Removal
See "Filter Removal and Installation"
section on page 8 for filter removal
instructions.
IMPORTANT: To avoid damage to the
blower wheel and motor, always reinstall
the filter before using the Vac for dry
material pick-up.
Dry Filter
NOTE: 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.
1. Remove filter from Vac. Gently tap filter
against the inside wall of your dust
drum. The debris will loosen and fall.
2. For thorough cleaning of dry filter with
fine dust (no debris), run water through
it as described under "Wet Filter".
Filter
WARNING: Do not operate
without filter cage and float, as they
prevent liquid from entering the
impeller and damaging the motor.
