I have a 2hp JDS cyclone and I believe the impeller is working loose. They are out of business so no one to contact. I want to get access to this to confirm before I got to other options.
Option 1. Initially I thought I would come at this from the bottom underneath, but doubt I can get to it from there due to the design. (see pic) Looking at the parts blow up I am thinking the way to get at the impeller is by pulling the motor off the top. Impeller is part # 9 and is held on by a key set screw and a bolt through it into the motor shaft. Even if I come from the bottom I may only be able to get at the bolt, but wouldn't be able to get to the side of the impeller to check the set screw & key. If I pull the motor is should lift the impeller out with it. Says the impeller is 15" diameter. The center line of the bolt circle on the motor plate Item # & looks to be 15" which means the impeller will not come out this hole on top?
Option 2. Other more complicated option is to lay it on it's side and pull the reducing tapered cone off the bottom then pull #14 the collector off the bottom of the housing #13.
I don't think I can get in there by removing the motor. Don't think the impeller will clear the motor top plate opening based on dimensions(assuming the impeller is truly 15"); I think I have to do option 2
Thanks Brian
