Maintenance
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
injury from accidental starting,
unplug power cord before changing
or cleaning filter.
Your 14 Gallon Professional Wet/Dry Vac
is supplied with RIDGID’s VF5000 Fine
Dust Filter. Replacement VF5000 Fine
Dust Filters are available where you
purchased your vac. Ask for the RIDGID
VF5000 Fine Dust Filter.
NOTE:
The filter is made of high quality
paper designed to stop very small
particles of dust. The filter can be used
for dry pick up or small amounts of liquid.
Handle the filter carefully when removing
to clean or installing it. Creases in the
filter pleats may occur from installation
but will not affect the performance of the
filter.
