V.SystemAssembly
It is always good to have a qualified helper to
assist you during assembly. Some parts are
heavy and awkward to deal with.
Drum Assembly
Drum Lid Assembly
1. Apply silicone sealant to each hole be-
fore attaching the casters to assure air tightness.
This is very important when using a collection
bag because even a tiny air leak will interfere
with the bag working.
4. Apply 1” gasket around rim of the under-
side of drum lid. [Figure 3]
Carefully align the ends so there is no gap be-
tween them and it makes a tight seal against
itself.
2. Attach the casters to the bottom of the
drum with (4) included 1/4 - 20 hex head bolts,
making sure the bolt heads are on the inside of
the drum. [Figure 1]
3. Attach the dust drum latches with the in-
cluded 10 - 32 pan head screws with the screw
head on the outside of the drum and the nyloc
nuts on the inside of the dust drum. Apply
silicone sealant to each hole here also to pre-
vent air leaks. [Figure 2]
5. Apply a continuous line of silicone seal-
ant [Figure 4] to the cone flange before bolting
in place with (6)1/4-20 x 3/4” bolts,(12) washers
and (6)nuts.
[Figure 5] Make sure the 2 holes for the front
leg brace are lined up with the cone inlet and
tabs for the back leg braces will be pointed down
when cone is right-side up. [Figure 6}

Figure 2. Dust drum latches and hardware.

Apply silicone
to bottom of

Figure 6. Posi-
tion drum lid so
the two holes
that attach to
front leg brace
are below the
cyclone inlet.
Figure 6. Tabs
for the back leg
braces will be
pointed down.

smooth, level floor, apply (4) plastic lid clamp
guards. Do not clamp lid. [Figure 9A]

6. Cut 3 wooden blocks from a 2 x 4 that are
2 1/2” high. [Figure 8]
Place blocks under drum so it lifts it and will not
roll. [Figure 8A]
Leg Assembly
8. Slide foam hand grip onto top of bent front
leg. You may need some lubricant such as a
little soapy water to help. [Figure 10]
11. Slide plastic cover on cord holder and at-
tach to front of gussett with 1.75” carriage bolts
on the front and either back leg as shown. You
may have to carefully pull holder wider to fit
bolt in bottom hole.
[Figure 11]
10. Attach gusset
to front leg using 2”
carriage bolt / gusset
/ leg / 1/4” washer /
1/4” nut. Loosely bolt
front leg to the angle
ring on cyclone as
shown below.

9. Attach front wheel and tighten nut on
caster assembly to secure. [Figures 12, 13]

12. On the two straight, back legs, gently
insert the threaded inserts with a hammer in
bottom of leg, then screw in the two eyebolts all
the way in. [Figure 12]

15. Attach drum lid to the front and rear leg
bracket lid holders using 1/4” - 20 x 3/4” Hex
head bolts, washers and nuts. Tabs on rear leg
brackets should point up.
[Figures 13, 14]

13. Put wheel nuts between 4” - 5” from
each end of threaded axle. Next put axle
through rear leg eyebolts. Then loosely put jam
nuts on each end followed by the wheels with
hub on the inside. Finish with the 5/8” nylock
nuts flush to the ends of the axle. You will
tighten this assembly later.
14. Bolt rear leg gus-
sets loosely to cyclone as
shown.
Put on plastic axle cover after the final
tightening of the nuts
16. Tighten up all bolts on the gussets and
lid brackets while keeping the legs square.
When this is done, tighten up the wheel bolts
on the axle to their final positions.
17. Apply 1/2” gasket around outside of bolt
holes in cyclone top as shown, making sure
there is no gap where ends butt together.

18. Place Blower housing in position so that
the filter outlet is pointed down, opposite the
inlet. Hand start eight 5/16” x 3/4” hex head
bolts with washers, then tighten securely.
