1. Read the installation and maintenance instructions as well as the recommended safety practices in this
manual
2. Install ductwork completely before operating collector:
A.) Seal ductwork with silicone sealant or duct tape.
B.) Have dust bin in place and sealed.
Caution
The Direct Drive Fan / Blower makes the system top heavy! Use extreme care when setting the unit
up! It is recommended that at least two people lift the system up. Do NOT over tighten bolt on Fan
/ Blower to Cyclone body connection ring! Use a Nylock nut and regular hex nut. If bolt is
over torqued it can break, causing Fan / Blower to disconnect.
Warning
Do not operate Fan / Blower unless Fan Housing is attached to Cyclone body and Dust Drum is in
place. Dust Drum and Cyclone must be in place and sealed or motor will overheat!
Warning
Check amperage draw on motor with all gates open. Current draw should not exceed maximum
motor amperage as stated on motor plate. (OAS is not responsible for damage to motors caused by
improper installation, wiring or failure to follow these directions.)

1. Place rubber leg caps on long end of leg.
2.Attach top gusset and mid-gusset to legs using 2” carriage
bolts then a washer and Nylock nut.
3.Attach the braces to the mid-gussets using the 3/4” car-
riage bolts and a washer and Nylock nut.
4.Attach cyclone cone to top gussets using the mounting ring
by 5/16”x 1” bolts using the sequence of bolt, washer, cone/
stand, washer, Nylock nut.
Stand Braces
Note: Stand legs will angle slightly inward when connected to
cyclone. This adds stability to the unit and makes a slightly larger
footprint than if the legs were perfectly vertical.

1. Push clips onto inside circle on Fan Housing, making sure clip is pushed all of the way on, that the bolt
holes are in alignment with the clip holes and that the small barrel on the clip is on the INSIDE of the Fan
Housing as shown in diagram.
2. Stick the gasket material around the Fan Housing as shown in the diagrams, outside of the bolt circle.
Making sure of a complete seal. Dust collection systems cannot operate effectively without being tightly
sealed with no air leaks.

4. Put included self-sticking gasket on
top rim of cone. Make sure there is
NO gap where both ends of gasket
meet. This is VERY important for an
air tight seal.
5. Put cone on stand and
attach with provided hardware
as shown on page 4.
6. Put Clamp Ring over cone for later
connection. Lower V-Tube into cone
making sure pins are inside the cone.
7. Put a bead of silicone on the top of
the V-Tube sheet.
Note: This is very important to seal
the Fan Housing to the Cyclone
Cone to prevent dust blow out.
Bead of Silicone
Parts of this procedure require
at least two people to complete.
Use extreme caution and good
sense when assembling this
unit. Parts of it are very heavy.
8. Determine where you want Fan
Motor Outlet in relation to Cone Inlet,
then lift Fan Motor Housing on top of
cone, making sure the V-Tube guide
pins are inside the housing. The Fan
Motor Housing is extremely heavy. It
is at least a two person job. Do NOT
attempt to do this yourself! It could
be extremely dangerous!
9. Make sure Clamp Ring is evenly
over both the cone lip and housing lip.
Put bolt through ring then put hex nut
on first, then put on the Ny-Lock nut
with nylon facing out and tighten.
Caution:
The Ny-Lock nut is required to
prevent the bolt from vibrating off
during operation. Don’t over tighten
nuts! Bolt could break!
You may want to drill holes in the outlet for
the sheet metal screws that attach the plenum
before you clamp Housing to Cone. See Pg. 8

10.Attach plenum with provided sheet metal screws and seal well with sili-
cone to prevent dust blow out. This is accomplished easier with two people.
Drill 4 to 6 holes in the plenum and outlet for the sheet metal screws while
one person holds the plenum in position.Attach with screws then seal on the
outside where the plenum meets the outlet with silicone.
VI.V-SystemsFilterAssembly
Insert Silencer into Filter. Plastic ring on Silencer must sit on the
inside of the Filter gasket. If you have the Spun-Bond Filter you
will get two rods that you must attach
with an included rod connector. The
blended Filter with the metal cage only
uses one rod.
11.Attach Filter Rod to Plenum. If you
have the Spun-bond filter, you will need
2 rods attached with a connector as
shown below. Before you connect the
rod to the Plenum, you must position
the filter underneath with the rod inside
as shown above. Make sure the si-
lencer is inserted in the filter as shown
in inset before attaching the filter.
12. This is easiest with 2 people. Have
one person hold the filter up against
the Plenum plate while the second
person holds the bracket as shown and
puts it up on the filter rod, followed by
the washer and then the Thumb Nut.

13. Position top of the J-hook over the
filter rim as shown in the diagram on
page 9. Making sure the pan is even
with the filter bottom and tightly sealed
as shown above.

15. Plug in Magnetic Starter and you
are ready to connect your collector to
your ductwork and go!
14. Distance between the drum lid and cone can vary. Some
systems have little space there to minimize overall system
height.
In some cases, the flexible hose will have to be cut down (espe-
cially with stands).
OAS ships 1’of hose as standard but this is not necessarily the
needed length once the system is installed.
Tools Needed: Razor Knife / Diagonal Cutters
Measure length between drum lid and collar of cone.
Measure hose while it is extended (don’t overly compress the
hose). This allows the lid to move up when installed. Cut the
hose with razor knife and then cut the wire with diagonal cut-
ters. Don’t cut too short! If in doubt, cut a little long. Trim
if necessary.
Filter Grounding Wire
Take the alligator clip that is at the end of the
green grounding wire attached to the motor and
clip it to the filter mesh as shown below. Tape the
ring terminal end to the wire.

VIII.DirectionsforCleaningExternalFilter
All steps should be done with a dust mask and eye protection. Proper filter clean-
ing should not be neglected.Adirty filter can affect dust collector operation and
filter life.
1. Compressed air from outside.
Blast air along pleats of the filter at about a 20 degree angle.
Blast air out and away from you or anyone in the general
area.
Keep air nozzle at least 6” from filter. Closer blasts may
damage material. This operation should be done with filter
on the unit. Dust is trapped inside filter so it will not make a
mess. 6”
Filter must be cleaned regularly or filter damage may
result. If gauge reaches 3, it is time to clean your fil-
ter. Never allow gauge to reach 5. You could destroy
your filter.
If you have the Filter Efficiency Gauge.
2. Empty Dust Bin.
Wait a few minutes for internal dust to settle then unscrew
thumb nuts from J-Hooks and remove dust bin. Empty dust
carefully. Replace dust bin. Do not over tighten thumb nuts.
