Attaching the Blower Housing to the Cyclone Body
1. Place the cyclone body, right-side up and well-supported, in a drum or bin to keep the unit
from tipping over. If a drum or bin is not available, the cyclone’s shipping box can be
shortened and used for support as well.
2. Set the blower housing on top of the cyclone.
Determine the desired orientation of the cyclone intake
relative to the exhaust opening on the blower housing.
The position of the intake can be rotated in any
direction with respect to the exhaust. This will not
affect system performance in any way.
3. Secure the blower housing to the top of the cyclone
body with (6) #6 x 1-
5

” sheet rock screws, using the
pre-marked divots on the blower housing bottom as
guides.
4. With the assistance of a helper, lift the cyclone body
up so that the impeller is seated within the blower
housing and the motor plate is aligned with the opening on the top of the blower housing.
a. If no help is available, remove the cyclone from the drum or bin used to secure it in
step 1 and place a piece of plywood across the top of the container. Carefully position
the cyclone body on top of the plywood and under the motor assembly, ensuring it
does not tip,
maintaining contact at all times
. Slip a series of boards under the cyclone
to lift the unit until the motor plate is correctly aligned with the top of the blower
housing.
5. Secure the blower housing to the motor plate:
a. Reinstall the (6) clips removed earlier using using (1)
¼”-20 x 1-½” hex bolt, (1) ¼”-20 lock washer, and
(1) ¼”-20 flat washer per clip.
b. Leave the clips loose enough to allow for rotation of
the cyclone.
The motor plate will not sit flush with the top of the blower housing by design.
It is not necessary to seal the seam between the cyclone and blower housing, or
the seam between the blower housing and motor plate, with silicone.
