Diagram #6
G.
Now, with the assistance of one or two friends, bring the cyclone motor housing assembly (25, 26, 27,
28 and 39 — note that everything is assembled as a single piece) and align with cyclone cone (44) so that
the holes align. See Diagram 6. Once everything is aligned and caulked into place; using six M8 x 20 car-
riage bolt (18) [facing downward] through the two pieces, the cyclone cone and motor housing, followed
by 8mm washer (14), lock washer (17) and M8 nut (15). Tighten with adjustable wrench. And then, use
four M8 x 20 carriage bolt (18) [facing downward] through the horizontal support (10) of the stand and
followed by 8mm washer (14), lock washer (17) and M8 nut (15).
H.
Mark the center of the fiber drum (43) with an “X” by creating two cross sectional lines with a wax
pencil. Align the flange (44) and the cross sectional lines and trace out the center of the flange onto the
can’s lid as a guide for mounting the flange. With 1/8” sheet metal screws attach and caulk (to create
an airtight seal) the flange to the lid. Reattach the lid. Now place the fiber drum (43) under the cyclone
cone’s center and attach 7” hose (46) to each side using the two 7” hose clamps (45).
Filter Cartridge Assembly
I.
Attach the 6” bell connector (50) to either end of the filter cartridge. Place a bead of silicone around
the rim of the bell connector and place on to one of ends of the filter canister. Let cure. Then, fasten four
sheet metal screws for extra support. On the other end attach the funnel reducer (52) with silicone; this
is the bottom of the completed assembly, and after curing repeat with four sheet metal screws as you did
on the bell connector. Next, adhere with silicon the 4” blast gate (53) to the funnel reducer. end Attach
the filter to the stand by using the rear brackets and rods. Using two sheet metal screws with a washer go
through the bracket arm’s holes and directly mount the filter canister. Attach the 6” hose (30) to bell con-
nector (top) with a 6” band clamp (29) to the 6” exit port on the cyclone and the other 6” band clamp.
J.
At the intake port add the 6” band connector (41) to join inlet “T” (42). The 4” hose (49) is the attached
to the “T” and leads to the 4” port on the bottom of the filter canister with the 4” hose clamps (54). This
acts as a built-in recirculation system and all of the dust goes into your fiber drum. See Diagram 7.
