V. Possible Ways to Attach Dust Deputy to Shop Vacuums
You may want to attach your Dust Deputy to
your shop vacuum for mobility, convenienc
e
or stability. There is no definitive way to
attach the Dust Deputy to a shop vacuum. It
will vary with vacuum type and intended us
e
These are just a few examples of possible
ways it may be done.
Some vacuums may only require one foam
block to attach the bucket. This may be
determined by vacuum body shape.
Cut the provided foam block in half. Drill two
1/4” holes through bucket, blocks and vacuum
as shown, then using provided long bolts,
washers and nuts, attach bucket to vac.
Cut the provided foam block to size. Drill two
1/4” holes through bucket, blocks and vacuum
as shown, then using provided long bolts,
washers and nuts, attach bucket to vac.
The mounting is only limited by your
imagination.
Use the foam blocks as spacers be-
tween the vac and bucket then put the
assembled Dust Deputy into the
attached bucket to hold it securely to
the vacuum. Attach the appropriate
hoses and you’re ready to go.
Use the foam block as upper spacer
between the vac and bucket then put
the assembled Dust Deputy into the
attached bucket to hold it securely to
the vacuum. Attach the appropriate
hoses and you’re ready to go.
To prevent tipping problems,
please see pg. 9 in this manual.

Dust Deputy not separating well. (Only a tiny amount of dust should
reach the vacuum.)
Position one of the vac wheels directly under the
5 gal. pail to increase the center of gravity.
Wrap the inlet and outlet of the DD with a layer of electrical tape to
increase the friction fit.
Secure with a hose clamp.
Secure with a sheet metal screw.
Position a weight (eg. brick) on the opposite side
of the vac from the 5 gal. pail to counter-balance
the pail.
Attach the 5 gal. pail to the vacuum and add a
caster to the bottom of the pail for support and
mobility..
Low air volume.
Material swirls in cyclone and won’t drop down into drum.
Air leak. Check cyclone flange / drum lid / barrel. Even small leaks
will affect performance.
Vacuum filter clogged. Blockage in hose.
Air leak in bottom of cyclone / drum lid or dust drum.
Large, bulkier material might swirl. Restart or temporarily cut off air
flow to drop material down.
Some models of vacs with a short wheel base can become sligthly
unstable with the addition of a 5 gal. pail. To prevent this you can
do the following:
The inlet and outlet of the Dust Deputy are shouldered and tapered
to adapt to a range of vac hose sizes. If on your model the friction
fit isn’t as tight as needed you can do the following:
Shop
Vacuum
5 Gal.

Brick or Weight
