Emptying The Drum; Moving The Wet/Dry Vac - RIDGID RV24000 Owner's Manual

Operation (cont.)
3. After using the Vac to pick up liquids,
the Filter must be dried to reduce the
risk of possible mildew and damage
to the Filter.
4. When the liquid in the Drum reaches
a predetermined level, the Float
mechanism will rise automatically to
cut off air-flow. When this happens,
turn off the Vac, unplug the Power
Cord, and empty the Drum. You will
know that the Float has risen because
Vac airflow ceases and the motor
noise will become higher in pitch, due
to increased motor speed.
IMPORTANT: To reduce the risk of
damage to the Vac, do not run Motor
with Float in raised position.

Emptying the Drum

WARNING:
!
To reduce the risk of injury from
accidental starting, unplug power
cord before emptying the drum.
WARNING:
!
To reduce the risk of back injury or
falls, do not lift a Vac heavy with
liquid or debris. Scoop or drain
enough contents out to make the
Vac light enough to lift comfortably.
1. The Vac comes equipped with a
Drain for easy emptying of liquids.
Simply unscrew the Drain Cap and lift
the opposite side slightly to empty the
Drum.
2. Another option is to remove the
Powerhead Assembly.
3. Lay Powerhead Assembly aside on
a clean area while emptying Drum.
4. Dump the Drum contents into the
proper waste disposal container.
