FIG. 11
Make sure there are no air leaks at the connections. Review
[FIG. 11] for common leak points.
Note: Any air leak will aect separation performance. Make
sure to check your dust drum frequently so you do not overll
it. One option to check for air leaks is with a smoke test. Test
kits are found at most hardware stores in the HVAC section.
Introduce smoke around every leak point. If you see the smoke
being drawn into the system, you’ve found an air leak that
needs to be sealed.

Washer
Wire
For added grounding, attach a self-supplied wire with a
ring terminal on one end and a washer tied to the other end
when installing one of the latches in step 3. e wire must be
long enough for the washer to lie on the oor [FIG 13].

Troubleshooting
PROBLEM CAUSE SOLUTION
Not separating well.
(Only a tiny amount of dust
should reach the vacuum)
Air leaks in the
bucket
1. Check for leaks between the Low-Pro Lid Separator and the bucket.
2. Check for holes or leaks in the bucket.
Material not dropping
into the dust container.
Collecting large,
bulky material
1. Large, bulkier material might swirl. Restart or temporarily cut o
airow to drop material down.
Low air volume System clogged 1. Clean vacuum and the vacuum lter per the manufacturer's specs.
2. Check all hose connections for a blockage in the hose.
Drum collapsing Blocked airow 1. Ensure the end of the hose isn't blocked.
Hose pulling o Hose connections
not tight
1. Due to the varied hose diameters, exible couplers can be used.
They are available at local hardware stores in the plumbing section.
2. Use a hose clamp.
3. Wrap the inlet and outlet of the Low-Pro with a layer of electrical
tape to increase the friction t.
4. Secure hose with a sheet metal screw.
