Mounting the cyclone separator

 

 

  Insert the cylinder pin (

Z6

) in the top of the two housing openings. If necessary, remove the 

two plastic covers from the openings in the housing. 

  Place the bracket (

Z4

) on the cylinder pin (

Z6

). 

  Screw the bracket (

Z4

) to the housing of the AS 200 jet by means of fixing screw (

Z5

). 

  Connect the 

manual vacuum regulation

 (

G

) to the air outlet duct (

E

). Alternatively, the 

automatic vacuum regulation

 can be mounted. 

  Insert the cyclone separator (

Z

) with attached cyclone lid (

Z1

) into the mounted vacuum 

regulation and position the cyclone separator so that the mounting plate on the cyclone 
separator fits into the bracket (

Z4

) on the housing of the AS 200 jet. 

  Screw the cyclone separator (

Z

) into the bracket (

Z4

) by means of the knurled head screw 

(

Z3

).
