Base Machine Assembly
The dust collector must not be
connected to the power source
during assembly.
All instructions on this page refer to Figure 2.
Base and Base Extensions
1. Attach
the
base extensions
(L) to the
base
(K)
by inserting M8x20
hex head screws
(A)
through the mounting holes of the
extension
(L)
and
base
(K).
2. Place
M8
flat washers
(D) and M8
lock washers
(G) on the ends of the
screws
(A) and fasten
with M8
hex nuts
(F), using 13mm wrenches.
Casters
1. The 3/8”
hex nut
(H) and M10
lock washer
(J)
are pre-assembled to each
caster
(M). For
shipping purposes, the lock washer has been
placed beneath the hex nut. Remove hex nut
and lock washer from the caster shaft, re-install
the hex nut, then install the lock washer
above
the hex nut, as shown.
2. Install the
four
casters
(M) to the underside of
the
base
(K) as follows:
3. Thread the caster shaft into the threaded hole
on the underside of the
base
(K), turn until
snug. Tighten the
hex nut
(H) against the base
with a 14mm wrench.
Motor and Impeller Assembly
1. Place the base with casters down on the ground.
2. Attach
the
motor and impeller assembly
(N) to the
base
(K) using six M8x20
hex cap screws
(A),
and six
M10
flat washers
(E). Hand tighten only
until all screws and washers are in place, then
tighten all six screws with a 13mm wrench.
3. Attach
the
inlet guard
(O) to
impeller housing
(N)
using eight M6x12
pan head flange screws
(B).
4. Press the
inlet port
(P) onto the
inlet guard
(O)
until it snaps into place. Secure in place with
3/16” x 1/2”
pan head flange screw
(C).
To reduce the risk of injury from
moving parts, always keep inlet port (P) covered
with the caps provided, if they are not connected
to a hose.
Connector Tube and Switch Box
1. Place the
lower gasket
(Q) on the
impeller
housing
(N). Line up the rubber pegs on the
gasket (face down) with the holes in the housing.
2. Place the
connector tube
(R) on the
impeller
housing
(N), making sure that the holes of the
mating flanges are aligned.
Note:
Refer to Figure 2 to make sure that the
connector tube is facing the proper direction.
3. Insert an M8x20
hex cap screw
(A), through the
M8
washer
(D) and flanges of the
connector tube
(R) and
impeller housing
(N).
4. Place another
washer
(D) and a
hex nut
(F) on
the protruding end of the
screw
(A) and hand-
tighten only.
5. Mount
the
control box
(S) to the two holes at the
front of the
connector tube
flange (R).
6. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for the remaining screw
locations, hand tightening only.
7. Tighten all hex nuts with a 13mm wrench.
Collector Housings
Mount the
right collector housing
(V) as follows:
1. Place an
upper gasket
(T) between the
collector
housing
(V) and
connector tube
(R). Line up the
pegs on the
gasket
(T) with the holes in the
housing
(V).
2. Place
the
collector housing
(V) on the
connector
tube
(R). Make sure to properly orient the
collector housing – the internal baffle must slope
downwards toward the center.
3. Insert a
screw
(A) through the
washer
(D),
connector tube flange
(R), and
collector-housing
flange
(V).
4. Place another
washer
(D) and a
hex nut
(F) on
the protruding end of the
screw
(A) and hand-
tighten.
5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 for the seven remaining
screw locations.
6. Tighten all screws and hex nuts with a 13mm
wrench.
7. Repeat steps 1 through 6 for the
left collector
housing
(U).
Support Bars
1. Align the bottom slots of a
support bar
(W) with
the holes in the
base
(K). Insert two
screws
(A)
with two
flat washers
(D) and hand tighten only.
Note:
If you are using the Canister Filter
System, proceed with steps 2 through 5 below.
If you are using the Filter Bag System, leave
the support bar (W) as is, for further assembly
later, and proceed to “Handles”.
