IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Safety is a combination of using common

sense, staying alert, and knowing how your

Wet/Dry Vacuum Cleaner (“Vac”) works.

Safety Signal Words

DANGER: Indicates a hazardous

situation which, if not avoided, will

result in death or serious injury.

WARNING: Indicates a hazardous

situation which, if not avoided, could

result in death or serious injury.

CAUTION: Indicates a hazardous

situation which, if not avoided, could

result in minor or moderate injury.

When using your Vac, always follow basic

safety precautions including the following:

WARNING

- To reduce the risk of fire,

electric shock, or injury:

• Read and understand this manual and

all labels on the Wet/Dry Vac before

operating.

• Use only as described in this manual.

• Do not leave Vac running while

unattended - you may fail to notice

important signs indicating abnormal

operation such as loss of suction, debris/

liquid exiting exhaust, or abnormal

motor noises. Immediately stop using

Vac if you notice these signs.

• Do not leave Vac when plugged in.

Unplug from outlet when not in use and

before servicing.

• Sparks inside the motor can ignite

flammable vapors or dust. To reduce the

risk of fire or explosion, do not use near

combustible liquids, gases, or dusts,

such as gasoline or other fuels, lighter

fluid, cleaners, oil-based paints, natural

gas, coal dust, magnesium dust, grain

dust, aluminum dust, or gun powder.

• Do not vacuum anything that is burning

or smoking, such as cigarettes, matches,

or hot ashes.

• To avoid the risk of self-ignition of drum

debris, empty drum after each use.

Combustible materials, such as rags or

sawdust containing stain or urethane,

can be sources of such overheating.

• Do not vacuum drywall dust, cold

fireplace ash, or other fine dusts with

standard filter. These may pass through

the filter and be exhausted back into the

air. Use a fine dust filter instead.

• To reduce the risk of inhaling toxic

vapors, do not vacuum or use near toxic

or hazardous materials.

• To reduce the risk of electric shock,

do not expose to rain or allow liquid to

enter motor compartment. Store indoors.

• This Wet/Dry Vac is not intended for

use by persons (including children) with

reduced physical, sensory, or mental

capabilities, or lack of experience

and knowledge, unless they have

been given supervision or instruction

concerning use of the appliance by a

person responsible for their safety.

• Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close

attention is necessary when used by or

near children.

• Do not use with a torn filter or without

filter installed except when vacuuming

liquids as described in this manual.

Dry debris ingested by the impeller may

damage the motor or be exhausted into

the air.

• Turn off Vac before unplugging.

• To reduce the risk of injury from

accidental starting, unplug power cord

before changing or cleaning filter.

• Do not unplug by pulling on cord.

To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.

• Do not use with damaged cord, plug or

other parts. If your Vac is not working

as it should, has missing parts, has

been dropped, damaged, left outdoors,

or dropped into water, call customer

service.

• Do not pull or carry by cord, use cord

as handle, close a door on cord, or pull

cord around sharp edges or corners.

Do not run Vac over cord. Keep cord

away from heated surfaces.

• Do not handle plug, switch, or the Vac

with wet hands.

SP7054 RT12000.indb 2 9/5/18 12:04 PM

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• Use only extension cords that are rated

for outdoor use. Extension cords in poor

condition or too small in wire size can

pose fire and shock hazards. To reduce

the risk of these hazards, be sure the

cord is in good condition and that liquid

does not contact the connection. Do not

use an extension cord with conductors

smaller than 1,3 mm2 (16 AWG).

• This Wet/Dry Vac is double-insulated,

eliminating the need for a separate

grounding system. Use only identical

replacement parts. Read the instructions

for Servicing Double-Insulated Wet/Dry

Vacs before servicing.

• Do not put any object into ventilation

openings. Do not vacuum with any

ventilation openings blocked; keep free

of dust, lint, hair or anything that may

reduce air flow.

• Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and

all parts of body away from openings

and moving parts.

• To reduce the risk of falls, use extra

care when cleaning on stairs.

• To reduce the risk of back injury or falls,

do not lift a Vac that is heavy with liquid

or debris. Partially empty by scooping

debris or draining liquid.

• To reduce the risk of personal injury

or damage to Vac, use only RIDGID

recommended accessories.

• When using as a blower:

- Direct air discharge only at work area.

- Do not direct air at bystanders.

- Keep children away when blowing.

- Do not use blower for any job except

blowing dirt and debris.

- Do not use as a sprayer.

• To reduce the risk of eye injury, wear

safety eyewear. The operation of any

utility Vac or blower can result in foreign

objects being blown into the eyes, which

can result in severe eye damage.

Observe the following warnings that

appear on the motor housing of your Vac:

WARNING: To reduce the risk of

electric shock - do not expose to

rain - store indoors.

DOUBLE INSULATED

GROUNDING NOT REQUIRED.

WHEN SERVICING USE ONLY

IDENTICAL REPLACEMENT PARTS.

SAVE THIS MANUAL

CAUTION:

• To reduce the risk of hearing damage,

wear ear protectors when using for

extended hours or in a noisy area.

• For dusty operations, wear dust mask.

• Static shocks are common when the

relative humidity of the air is low.

Vacuuming fine debris with your Vac can

deposit static charge on the hose or Vac.

To reduce the frequency of static shocks

in your home or when using this Vac, add

moisture to the air with a humidifier.

WARNING:

• For your own safety, read and

understand owner’s manual.

• Do not run unattended.

• Do not pick up hot ashes,

coals, toxic, flammable or other

hazardous materials.

• Do not use around explosive

liquids or vapors.

ASSEMBLY

SP7054 RT12000.indb 9 9/5/18 12:04 PM

OPERATION

Vacuuming Dry Materials

1. The Filter must always be correctly

installed to avoid leaks and possible

Vac damage.

2. To maintain peak performance when

vacuuming fine dust, clean the Drum

and Filter regularily.

NOTE: Do not use a wet Filter when

picking up dry material. The Filter will

quickly clog and be difficult to clean.

3. If the Filter is wet, you must allow it to

dry completely or replace it with a dry

Filter before using the Vac to pick up

dry material.

Polarized Plug

To reduce the risk of electric shock, this

Vac has a Polarized Plug (one blade is

wider than the other). This Plug will fit in

a Polarized Outlet only one way. If the

Drum

Drum Latches (2)

Vacuuming Liquids

1. Vacuuming up small amounts of liquid

(less than 2” (5 cm) collected in Dust

Drum) does not require Filter removal.

2. When larger amounts of liquid are to

be picked up, remove the Filter, but

not the Filter Cage or Float, to prevent

the Filter from becoming saturated with

liquid. If the Filter becomes saturated,

you may see “mist” coming from the

Blowing Port.

3. When the Drum is “full” the Float will

rise and cut off airflow. The motor

sound will rise in pitch and its speed

will increase indicating the Drum is

“full”. Turn OFF the Vac and unplug the

power cord before emptying the Drum.

4. Following use of Vac for wet pick up,

allow Filter to dry completely to avoid

mildew and Filter damage.

WARNING: Do not operate

without filter cage and float in place.

They prevent liquid from entering the

impeller and damaging the motor.

IMPORTANT: To reduce the risk of

damage to the Vac, do not run Motor with

Float in raised position.

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”.

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.

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.

INSTRUCCIONES DE SEGURIDAD IMPORTANTES

• Utilice únicamente cordones de extensión

que tengan capacidad nominal para uso a la

intemperie. Los cordones de extensión que

estén en malas condiciones o tengan un tamaño

de alambre demasiado pequeño pueden crear

peligros de incendio y descargas eléctricas. Para

reducir el riesgo de estos peligros, asegúrese de

que el cordón esté en buenas condiciones y que

el líquido no entre en contacto con la conexión.

No utilice un cordón de extensión que tenga

conductores con un diámetro menor al calibre

1,3 mm2 (16 AWG).

• Esta aspiradora tiene aislamiento doble, lo cual

elimina la necesidad de un sistema independiente

de conexión a tierra. Utilice única mente piezas

de repuesto idénticas. Lea las instruc ciones

de servicio de revisión de las aspiradoras para

mojado/seco con aislamiento doble.

• No ponga ningún objeto en las aberturas de

ventilación. No recoja nada con la aspiradora

cuando cualquiera de las aberturas de ventilación

esté bloqueada; mantenga dichas aberturas

libres de polvo, pelusa, pelo o cualquier cosa

que pueda reducir el flujo de aire.

• Mantenga el pelo, la ropa holgada, los dedos y

todas las partes del cuerpo alejados de las aber-

turas y de las piezas móviles.

• Para reducir el riesgo de caídas, tenga cuidado

adicional al limpiar en escaleras.

• Para reducir el riesgo de lesiones de espalda

o caídas, no levante una aspiradora que pese

mucho debido a que contiene líquido o residuos.

Saque parte del contenido de la aspiradora o

drénela parcialmente.

• Para reducir el riesgo de lesiones corporales

o daños a la aspiradora, utilice únicamente

accesorios recomendados por Ridgid.

• Cuando utilice la aspiradora como soplador:

– Dirija la descarga de aire solamente hacia el

área de trabajo.

– No dirija el aire hacia las personas que estén

presentes.

– Mantenga alejados a los niños durante la

operación de soplado.

– No utilice el soplador para trabajos que no sean

soplar suciedad y residuos.

– No use la aspiradora como rociador.

• Para reducir el riesgo de lesiones en los ojos, use

pro tección ocular de seguridad. La utilización de

cual quier aspiradora utilitaria o soplador utilitario

puede hacer que se soplen objetos extraños

hacia los ojos, lo cual puede causar daños graves

en los ojos.
