Cleaning the Cyclone
The 10-mm Nylon Dorr-Oliver Cyclone should be cleaned prior to
each use. In most cases, simply cleaning the grit potentiometer is all
that is necessary. Inspect the inside of the cyclone body regularly and
clean it if necessary.
1. Unscrew the grit potentiometer from the bottom of the cyclone.
Remove the stainless steel cyclone clip and pull the cap off.
2. Hold the open end of the grit potentiometer down and tap it on a
hard surface to dislodge particles. Repeat with the cyclone body.
If dirt is visible inside either the grit potentiometer or the cyclone
body, it may be necessary to blow canned/pressurized air into the
cyclone parts and/or to clean them with soap and water. A mild
solvent like isopropanol may also be used inside the cyclone.
Make certain that the cyclone is perfectly dry before re-assembly
and use.
3. Re-assemble the cyclone. Note that the stainless steel cyclone
clip that holds the cap onto the body will only fit one way. The
cyclone cleaning procedure is now completed.
