Below
is a diagram of a typical installation with parts and items identified ![]() |
||
|
STEP 1
- Remove
lid of canister and remove bag attachment nozzle, pressure release valve,
connectors and bags. |
|
|
STEP 2 - Determine where the unit will be mounted in your truck.
If canister will not fit under
bed/storage in the
upright (vertically) position, unit may be mounted horizontally
using include horizontal mounting brackets |
|
|
STEP 3 -
Cut four 2 inch pieces of the 2 inch PVC
pipe. |
![]() |
|
STEP 4 -
Determine exhaust vent location. Using
hole saw cut 2 ½ inch hole at
desired location. This is for optional exhaust vent.
(If you
do not vent back into the cab, bed must be raised during vacuum use)
Exhaust vent is to be located inside cab, do not vent to exterior. The
exhaust vent must be a minimum of four inches from exhaust port, located
at the bottom of the canister. |
![]() |
|
STEP
5 -
Mount vent cover using screws included.
Pre-drill screw holes with 3/16
inch drill bit. The exhaust vent should be mounted
so that the flap falls closed. |
|
|
STEP
6 -
Determine the amount of flex tubing to
reach
from exhaust port at base of canister to
exhaust vent installed in step 5.
Cut flex tubing to desired length. Use wire
cutters to cut the wire in the flex tubing.
Insert a 2 inch piece of PVC pipe, that was cut
in step 3, into flex tubing at both ends.

STEP 7 - Insert a 90° PVC elbow on exhaust port at base of canister facing towards exhaust vent. |
![]() |
|
STEP
8 -
Insert one end of the flex tubing
assembly that was assembled in step 6, into
90° PVC elbow. |
![]() |
|
STEP
9 -
Insert opposite end of flex tube
assembly that was assembled in step 6 into
rear of exhaust
vent that was installed in step 5. Insert only
½ inch to ¾ inch into rear of exhaust vent.(Make sure vent flap is allowed
to move freely.) |
|
|
STEP
10 - Determine
the faceplate location. Faceplate should be
located for convenience and a minimum of four
inches from canister.
(Either intake at
the top of the canister may be
used. Use the one located nearest the vacuum inlet.) Using a hole saw, cut a 2 ½ inch hole at desired faceplate location. (For ease of installation, faceplate height should be approximately the same height as the intake on the canister, if possible. Place faceplate into the hole, allowing inlet door to fold downward. Inlet neck should rest on the bottom of the 2 ½ inch hole. (important - This is to prevent unit from coming on while not in use by screws coming in contact with the hole edge). Pre-drill top faceplate screw holes with
¼ inch drill bit. |
