Maintenance
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
injury from accidental starting,
unplug power cord before changing
or cleaning filter.
RV2400A/RV2600B Wet/Dry Vacs are
supplied with RIDGID’s Three Layer Fine
Dust Filter. Replacement Three Layer Fine
Dust Filters are available where you
purchased your vac. Ask for the RIDGID
Three Layer Fine Dust 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
To remove the filter for cleaning or
replacement, unscrew the filter nut from
the filter cage, remove filter plate and lift
off filter.
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.
Filter
WARNING: Do not operate the
Wet/Dry Vac with the filter cage and
float removed. The float prevents
water from entering the impeller and
damaging the motor. The cage
prevents fingers from touching the
moving impeller.
