Maintenance (continued)
Cleaning and Disinfecting the
Wet/Dry Vac
To keep your Wet/Dry Vac looking its
best, clean the outside with a cloth
dampened with warm water and mild
soap.
To clean the drum:
1. Dump debris out.
2. Wash drum thoroughly with warm
water and mild soap.
3. Wipe out with dry cloth.
Before prolonged storage, or as needed,
(i.e.; waste water pick up) the drum
should be disinfected.
To disinfect the drum:
1. Pour 1 gallon of water and 1 teaspoon
chlorine bleach into the drum.
2. Let solution stand for 20 minutes,
carefully swishing every few minutes,
making sure to wet all inside surfaces
of the drum.
3. Empty drum after 20 minutes. Rinse
with water until bleach smell is gone.
Allow drum to dry completely before
sealing the motor on the drum.

Cord Maintenance

When vacuuming is complete, unplug the
cord and wrap it around the hooks on the
side of the detachable blower. If the
power cord is damaged, it must be
replaced by the manufacturer or their
service agent or by similarly qualified
personnel to reduce the risk of accident.

Storage

Before storing your Vac, the drum should
be emptied and cleaned. The cord and
hose should be stored as described in
this manual. Accessories should be kept
in the same area as the Vac so they can
be readily available. The Vac should be
stored indoors.

Casters

If your casters are noisy, you may put a
drop of oil on the roller shaft to make
them quieter.
!
SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs
and adjustments should be
performed by Authorized Service
Centers, always using RIDGID
replacement parts.
