Collection System

There are five different configurations for the Canister Collection System. The 

dimensions are shown in the latter part of this manual.  

Find a location for your collection system. When finding a location, remember that 

only 8 feet of flexible ducting is supplied with your equipment. If the collection 

system is to be located beyond the 8 foot supplied, then use a rigid ducting (PVC 

type) with glued seams (to avoid loss of the vacuum) avoiding elbows and sharp 

bends as much as possible. Do not use more than 25 feet of at least 6” diameter 

additional ducting unless the unit is specifically designed for extensive ducting.  

Assemble the collection system as shown in the print. For collection systems with 

sound suppressors, make sure that all the seams have been sealed with silicone 

(or similar type) to prevent vacuum loss. After collection system is located and 

assembled, proceed to
