TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
Less Than
Optimal
Separation
• Air leak between Dustopper® and the buck-
et.Cleandebris frombetweenthebottomof
Dustopper® and the rim of the bucket
• Poor air flow
Poor Air Flow
and/or Reduced
Suction
• Debris caught in hose. Clean hose.
• Clog in Dustopper®.Remove and clear
Dustopper®.
• Dirty filter. Clean or replace vacuum’s filter.
• Underpowered vacuum. Dustopper is
recommended for use with vacuums with
4.5 HP or more
Hoses Will Not
Stay Attached
• The Dustopper® hose is designed to fit ide-
ally with RIDGID® wet/dry vacuums having
a 2-1/2 in connection port. Flexible hose
adapters and/or the use of hose clamps
can help with adapting Dustopper® to other
makes of wet/dry vacuums. Adding electri-
cal tape to the hose end (input port) or the
outlet port to increase friction may improve
hose coupling.
• A sheet-metal screw may be used to secure
the hoses to the input and output ports of
the Dustopper®.
