b. Caulk the hose to seal it in place.
2. Secure the end of the Exhuast Hose:
a. Place an 8” flex hose clamp over the top of the flex hose. Make sure it is loose.
b. If using filters, secure the hose to the filter flange mounted on top of the filter stack.
c. If venting outside, secure the the hose to your exhause vent.
d. Tighten the flex hose clamp and caulk the hose to secure it in place.
2. Attach the short length of 6” flex hose provided to the collar on the collection drum lid:

b. Caulk the hose from both sides of the lid to seal it in place.
3. Attach the lid to the cyclone:
a. Place a 6” flex hose clamp over the top of the flex hose. Make sure it is loose.
b. Install the lid by placing the 6” flex hose over the base of the cyclone.
The flex hose will be an extremely tight fit around the base of the cyclone. This is by design
in order to make sure the connection is air tight. The flex hose can be made more pliable
for installation by heating it with a hair dryer.
c. Tighten 6” flex hose clamp to secure flex hose to the base of the cyclone.
d. Run a bead of clear silicone caulk around the seam at the top of the flex hose.
A longer length of flex hose may be used between the base of the cyclone and collection
drum lid, if needed.

where the ring makes contact with either the horizontal member of the Wall Bracket or
the frame of the stand.
b. Extend the holes down through the Wall Bracket or frame.
c. Secure the Upper Cylinder to the Wall Bracket/frame using (1) ¼"-20 x 2" bolt, (2) ¼"-
20 flat washers, (1) ¼"-20 lock washer and (1) ¼"-20 nut through each hole.
2. For stand-mounted systems, it is recommended to additonally bolt the stand to the floor to
ensure it does not move.
