VACUUM CHIP REMOVAL SYSTEM ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION
(approximate installation time = 10-15 minutes)
You should have:
1 Vacuum Pump System (silver with a box, and power cord attached)
1 Elbow pipe connector (black metal with USA stamped on it)
1 Vacuum filter canister (blue metal, with 3 wing-nut fastners)
1 Vacuum hose connector (white plastic, 2 pieces)
1 Vacuum hose (white/clear spiral, 3/4" diameter) 10'
1 Vacuum hose (clear, 2")
1 Vacuum nose (large or small)
To assemble the vacuum pump unit:
• Examine the vacuum pump system, you will find two large screw-holes. The "in" hole is labeled
with the arrow label on the side of the vacuum pump.
• Find the elbow-pipe.
• Make sure the screw-threads are clean on both the pump system and the elbow-pipe. (Clean with
a rag and water, do not use solvents. A dirty thread can make assembling screw-in parts
significantly more difficult.)
• Screw the elbow-pipe into the pump system through the port on the side with the yellow/black
arrow label(It will not screw all the way in, make sure the elbow is tightly screwed in and will not
unscrew–some threads will show).
• Find the vacuum filter unit, and make sure the bottom thread is clean. (The bottom has three
triangle-shaped spines, and an extended "nose". The inside of the "nose" is threaded to accept the
pipe connector.)
• Screw the canister onto the vacuum pipe, making sure the canister is tightly screwed on. (The
canister will not screw in completely.)
• Check the vacuum hose connector to make sure it is clean and trimmed. Brush off any plastic
bits that may be stuck to it, and make sure the threads on the inside are clean. Seperate the two
pieces and make sure the inside is clean. (The two pieces seperate so you can remove the vacuum
hose for convienent cleaning.)
• Screw the long threaded part of the vacuum hose connector (the larger end) into the top of the
vacuum canister, making sure the hose is securely screwed in.
• Check to make sure the vacuum hose is not tangled.
The following steps may have already been done if you purchased the entire assembly together.
• Screw the vacuum input hose into the top of the vacuum hose connector (small end). The hose
has a clear plastic nozzle and a threaded end; you want to use the threaded end, it screws into the
hexagonal-part of the larger end of the white hose connector.
• Plug the clear plastic end of the vacuum hose onto the long nose that comes off the black
vacuum nose attachment. (The clear plastic will cover about half of the black vacuum nose.)
