Questions & Answers
How do I make the rigid 6 gallon inhale instead of exhale?
Asked by Josie November 20, 2020Hello Josie, Thanks for asking. The suction and the blower of the vacuum works simultaneously. To use it as a vacuum, attach the hose to the inlet port located in front of the drum, otherwise connect the hose to the blower port located at the back of the power head to use it as a blower. If you have questions or concerns, you may call our Customer Service at 1-800-474-3443 from Monday to Friday between 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM Central Time or send us an email at info@ridgidvacs.com and we'll be glad to assist you. Thanks, RIDGID

Asked by Jim in Georgia October 28, 2020Just make sure that nothing is blocking the hose some times it can get plugged. I use mine on construction all kinds of debris from dry wall dust to wood and anything in between and some times something on the hose is blocking
