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 ignition of drum
debris, empty drum after each use.
Combustible materials, such as rags or
sawdust containing stain or urethane,
can be a source 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.
• Use only extension cords that are rated
for outdoor use. Extension cords in poor
condition or too small in wire size can
3
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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 mm
2
(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.
To reduce the risk of being struck by, or
pulled down by, a rolling Vac, block the
casters when using on any uneven or
sloped surface.
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.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, explosion, or damage to Vac:
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 the exhaust, or abnormal motor noises. Immediately stop using Vac
if you notice these signs.
Do not leave Vac plugged in when not in use.
Do not continue running when float has cut off suction.
Sparks inside the motor can ignite airborne flammables. Do not operate
Vac near flammable liquids or in areas with flammable gases, vapors, or
explosive/airborne dust. Flammable liquids, gases, and vapors include:
lighter fluid, solvent-type cleaners, oil-based paints, gasoline, alcohol, and
aerosol sprays. Explosive dusts include: coal, magnesium, aluminum,
grain, and gun powder.
Do not vacuum up explosive dusts, flammable liquids, or hot ashes.
Do not leave sawdust or rags with stain or polyurethane residue inside Vac.
Empty drum after picking up these potentially self-heating materials.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or injury:
Do not expose to rain or allow liquid to enter motor compartment.
Store indoors.
Do not handle plug, switch, or Vac with wet hands.
Unplug Vac before servicing. If your Vac is not working as it should, has
missing parts, has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into
water, return it to an authorized service center or call customer service.
When using an extension cord, use only outdoor-rated cords that are in
good condition. Do not allow the connection to come into contact with
liquid.
!
!
OPERATION
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of hearing damage, wear ear protectors when
using the Vac/Blower for extended time or in a noisy area.
!
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
Plug does not fit fully in the Outlet, reverse
the Plug. If it still does not fit, contact a
qualified electrician to install the proper
Outlet. Do not change the Plug in any way.

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.
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.
WARNING: Do not operate
without filter cage and float in place.
They prevent liquid from entering the
impeller and damaging the motor.
!
4. Following use of Vac for wet pick up,
allow Filter to dry completely to avoid
mildew and Filter damage.
IMPORTANT: To reduce the risk of
damage to the Vac, do not run Motor with
Float in raised position.
Emptying the Dust Drum
1. Unplug Power Cord from power source.
2. The Vac comes equipped with a Drain
for easy emptying of liquids. Position the
Vac near a suitable drain or receptacle
and remove the Drain Cap.
3. Remove the Powerhead Assembly by
pulling outward at the top of the two
Latches.
4. Lift Powerhead Assembly from the Dust
Drum and set aside.
5. Use the Dust Drum Handles located
at the bottom of the Dust Drum to lift
and empty into a proper waste disposal
container.
NOTE: Do not carry the Vac by the Powerhead
Carry Handle when the Vac is full.
WARNING: To reduce the risk
of injury from accidental starting,
unplug power cord before emptying
the drum.

paper designed to stop small particles of
dust. The Filter can be used for dry pick
up or small amounts of liquid. Handle the
Filter carefully when removing or installing
it. Creases in the Filter Pleats may occur
from installation but will not affect the
performance of the Filter.
NOTE: Failure to properly seat the
bottom Gasket and Integrated Filter Plate
to the Filter Cage could result in debris
bypassing the Filter.
Filter Removal:
1. Place fingers under the two Filter Tabs.
2. While pressing down with one thumb
on the Qwik Lock™ Stud that protrudes
through the center of the Filter Plate,
lift up on the Tabs until Filter releases.
3. Slide Filter off Filter Cage.
IMPORTANT: To avoid blower wheel and
motor damage always reinstall filter before
using Vac for dry pickup.

1. Slide the Qwik Lock™ Filter over the
Filter Cage while aligning the Qwik
Lock™ Stud on the Filter Cage with
the center hole in the Qwik Lock™
Integrated Filter Plate.

bottom of the Qwik Lock™ Filter seats
around the base of the Filter Cage.

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.

WARNING
SERVICING OF DOUBLE-INSULATED WET/DRY VAC
In a double-insulated Wet/Dry Vac, two systems of insulation are provided
instead of grounding. No grounding means is provided on a double-insulated
appliance, nor should a means for grounding be added. Servicing a double-
insulated Wet/Dry Vac requires extreme care and knowledge of the system,
and should be done only by qualified service personnel. Replacement
parts for a double-insulated Wet/Dry Vac must be identical to the parts
they replace. Your double-insulated Wet/Dry Vac is marked with the words
“DOUBLE INSULATED” and the symbol (square within a square) may
also be marked on the appliance.
To reduce the risk of injury from electrical shock, unplug power cord before
servicing the electrical parts of the Wet/Dry Vac.
