Cone assembly, including cone support cable harness 

 

 

Outer flexible sleeve 

 

 

Miscellaneous parts including: fasteners, cable fittings, and other items as identified on 
the parts list or packing list. 

 

Installation and assembly of the unit is completed as follows: 
 

1.  Remove the bolts and straps holding the DLS in the shipping frame. 
 
2.  Check the alignment of the bolt holes on the housing assembly to determine if the 

bolt holes will match correctly.  Do not attempt to correct alignment by drilling through 
the flange, as this will possibly weaken the flange and result in a poor seal. Check the 
mating flange for level. 

 
3.  Install the appropriate gasket material or sealant on the top flange surface of the 

housing assembly. 

 
4.  Using a fork truck or other appropriate equipment, lift the housing assembly to the 

mating flange. 

 
5.  Install nuts and washers. Use only a high grade hex head bolt with an equal grade of 

nut, flat and lock washer. Lock washers and/or a thread locking material should be 
used. Angle supports on top of the housing assembly must be utilized for additional 
support to the hopper or other rigid steel structure to ensure that the housing assembly 
is installed securely; the unit CANNOT be supported solely by the flange. 

 

6.  Install the dust collection hose/pipe to the side outlet of the housing using an appropriate 

gasket material. (Not necessary for SCDLS units) 

 
7.  Position the outlet assembly 

beneath the housing assembly at 
the published extended length. 
The junction box for the product 
sensor probes, if provided, should 
be aligned with the junction box 
for that purpose on the housing 
assembly. Align the lift cable 
attachment points on discharge 
with the sheaves in the housing 
assembly. 

 
8.  Place the cone assembly in the 

discharge cone as shown in 

Figure 1

, aligning the cone 

support tabs with tabs on 
discharge cone. Attach the cone 
support cables to the discharge 
cone.
