WARNING / SAFETY
Troubleshooting
To Prevent Hose Pull Off
Dust Deputy® not separating well. (Only a tiny amount of dust should
reach the vacuum.)
Wrap the inlet and outlet of the Dust Deputy with a layer of electrical tape
to increase the friction fit.
Use a hose clamp.
Secure with a sheet metal screw.
Low air volume.
Material swirls in cyclone and won’t drop down into drum.
Hose connections not tight.
Air leak. Check cyclone flange / drum lid / barrel. Even small leaks
will affect performance.
Vacuum filter clogged. Blockage in hose.
Air leak in bottom of cyclone / drum lid or dust drum.
Large, bulkier material might swirl. Restart or temporarily cut off air
flow to drop material down.
Due to the varied hose diameters, flexible couplers
can be used. They are available at local hardware
stores in the plumbing section.
The inlet and outlet of the Dust Deputy® are shouldered and tapered
to adapt to a range of vac hose sizes. If on your model the friction fit
isn’t as tight as needed you can do the following:
