IX. Possible Ways to Attach Dust Deputy® Deluxe to Shop Vacuums
You may want to attach your Dust Deputy
to your shop vacuum for mobility, conve
-
nience or stability. There is no definitive
way to attach the Dust Deputy to a shop
vacuum. It will vary with vacuum type and
intended use. These are just a few exam
-
ples of possible ways it may be done.
Note: For better mobility and stability use the included 3 casters as shown in the
assembly instructions.
To prevent tipping, install
provided casters.
Some vacuums may only require one foam
block to attach the bucket. This may be
determined by vacuum body shape.
Cut the provided foam block in half. Drill
two 1/4” holes through bucket, blocks
and vacuum as shown, then using
provided long bolts, washers and nuts,
attach bucket to vac.
Cut the provided foam block to size. Drill two
1/4” holes through bucket, blocks and vacuum
as shown, then using provided long bolts,
washers and nuts, attach bucket to vac.
The mounting is only limited by your
imagination.
Use the foam blocks as spacers
between the vac and bucket then put
the assembled Dust Deputy into the at-
tached bucket to hold it securely to the
vacuum. Attach the appropriate hoses
and you’re ready to go.
Use the foam block as upper spacer between
the vac and bucket then put the assembled
Dust Deputy into the attached bucket to hold
it securely to the vacuum. Attach the appropri
-
ate hoses and you’re ready to go.
VI. Assembly Instructions for Deluxe Dust Deputy® Kit
Caster holes must be a minimum
1” from bucket bottom edge so
caster doesn’t hit rim of bucket
when wheeled around.
1.) Position drum so that lead caster
hole is drilled in bottom of bucket on
caution side as shown in Fig. 1. This
is so safety instructions are not cov
-
ered up by foam block and are easily
read.
Holes must be at least 1”
from bucket bottom rim so caster
can freely swivel (Fig. 2)when unit
is wheeled around
. Use a 5/16” drill
bit for holes. Drill the holes in a tri-
angular pattern as shown in diagram
below and Fig. 3.
(You’ll want to drill an extra hole in
the bottom to make it easier to pull
out second bucket for emptying.)
2.) Put casters through bot
-
tom of bucket and fasten with
the provided washers and
1/2” hex head nuts as shown
in Fig. 4.

3.) Wheel the bucket up to your shop
vacuum and see where the best
placement for foam block will be on
your vac. Mark where block will attach
on your vacuum and bucket as shown
in Fig. 5.
You should attach bucket
to the side of vacuum opposite the
vac inlet. See Example 1.

This is just one example of attaching the Deluxe Dust
Deputy® to a shop vacuum. Most shop vacuums will
use similar steps but you may have to modify slightly
for your particular vacuum.
