Vacuuming Liquids; Emptying The Dust Drum - RIDGID HD14000 Mode D'emploi

OPERATION

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:
!
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.
Do not operate
