WARNING: To reduce the risk of
injury from accidental starting,
unplug power cord before changing
or cleaning filter.
1250RV Professional Wet/Dry Vac is
supplied with RIDGID's Qwik Lock™ Fine
Dust Filter. Replacement Qwik Lock™
Filters are available where you purchased
your Vac. Ask for the RIDGID Qwik
Lock™ Fine Dust Filter VF5000.
NOTE: The filter is made of high quality
paper 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. Creases in the filter pleats
may occur from installation but not affect
the performance of the filter.

Filter Removal and Installation

Filter Removal:
1. Hold the filter tabs of the Qwik Lock™
filter in each hand.
2. With one thumb on the Qwik Lock™
stud, which protrudes through the
integrated filter plate, lift up on the
filter tabs while pushing down on the
stud.
3. This action will cause the filter to
release from the filter cage. Slide filter
off cage.
Filter Installation:
1. Carefully slide the Qwik Lock™ filter
over the filter cage and press down on
the outside edge of the filter until the
rubber gasket on the bottom of the
filter seats securely around the base
of the filter cage and against the
bottom of the drum.

2. Align the small center hole in the top
of the filter over the Qwik Lock™ stud
on the filter cage. Press firmly on top
of the filter near the stud to allow the
filter to snap over the ball on the end
of the stud. The filter is now attached.
NOTE: Failure to properly seat the
bottom gasket could result in debris
bypassing the filter.
IMPORTANT: To avoid damage to the
blower wheel and motor, always reinstall
the filter before using the Vac for dry
material pick-up.

Cleaning a Dry Filter

NOTE: 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.
1. Remove filter from Vac. Gently tap filter
against the inside wall of your dust
drum. The debris will loosen and fall.
2. For thorough cleaning of dry filter with
fine dust (no debris), run water
through it as described under
"Cleaning a Wet Filter".
