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 certified HEPA
filter. Replacement certified HEPA filters
are available where you purchased your
Vac. Ask for the RIDGID HF1000 HEPA
filter and HF0500 pre-filter.
NOTE: This filter is made of high quality
HEPA media designed to stop very small
particles of dust. The filter can be used
for wet or dry pick up. Handle the filter
carefully when removing to clean or
installing it. Follow the EPA guidelines for
RRP cleanup.
Filter Removal
Refer to page 7 "Filter Installation"
Section of this manual.
Allow the filter to dry before reinstalling
and storing the Vac.
IMPORTANT: After cleaning, check all filters
for tears or small holes. Do not use a filter
with holes or tears in it. Even a small hole
can allow dust to pass through the filters.
If a filter is damaged or worn, replace it
immediately.
!
WARNING: Do not operate
without filter cage and float, as they
prevent liquid from entering the
impeller and damaging the motor.
IMPORTANT: To avoid damage to the
blower wheel and motor, always reinstall
the filter before using the Vac for dry
material pick-up.

chlorine bleach into the drum.
2. Let solution stand for 20 minutes,
