Assembling and Hanging the Cyclone
1. Locate the Blower Housing and Upper Cylinder.
a. Determine the desired orientation of the cyclone intake on the Upper Cylinder
relative to the exhaust opening on the Blower Housing.
The position of the intake can be rotated in one of (12) different configurations with respect
to the exhaust. This will not affect system performance in any way.
2. Secure the Blower Housing to the Upper Cylinder:
a. Place the ¼” neoprene gasket on top of the Upper Cylinder, lining up the holes in
the gasket with the holes on the top of the Upper Cylinder.
b. Position the Blower Housing, with the exhaust in the desired orientation with respect
to the intake, lining up the holes on the bottom of the Blower Housing with the holes
on the top of the Upper Cylinder.
c. Using a
7
/
16
” wrench, secure the Blower Housing to the Upper Cylinder using (1) ¼"-
20 x 1" hex bolt, (1) ¼” lock washer and (1) flat washer per hole.
d. Repeat for all holes and tighten securely.
3. For wall-mounted systems, with the assistance of a helper, lift the Upper Cylinder assembly up
and slide it back so that the lip is resting on the horizontal arms of the Wall Mounting Bracket.
a. For stand-mounted systems, lift the Upper Cylinder assembly up and lower it
through the top opening of the stand so that the lip is resting on upper frame of the
stand.
4. Attach the Cone to the bottom of the Upper Cylinder using the 18” clamp.
5. Install the motor/impeller assembly:
a. With the help of your installation partner, turn the motor/impeller assembly over so that
the fins of the impeller are facing downward.
If your system came with an Electrical Box, it is recommended that you wire the 6’ whip into
the wiring box of the motor first, prior to installing the motor/impeller assembly. Please refer
to the Electrical Box instruction sheet for more detail.
b. With the help your installation partner, lift the motor/impeller assembly up and lower
the impeller down inside the Blower Housing. Rotate the assembly so that the
holes on motor plate line up with the holes on the Blower Housing top.
Systems using a 30-gallon drum require a minimum of 113” of ceiling
height in order to have adequate clearance above the Blower Housing
for installing the motor/impeller assembly. Systems using a 55-gallon
drum require a minimum of 119” of ceiling height.
c. Secure the motor plate to the Blower Housing using (1)
3

"-16 x
3

4
" hex bolt,
3
/
8
" lock
washer and
3
/
8
" flat washer per hole.
d. Tighten securely.
Do NOT turn the motor on until the system is completely assembled,
including the collection drum. Doing so may cause the circuit breaker
to trip, physical damage to the system and/or bodily harm.
