side, blower outlet and bag pointing toward the rear. Hold the unit in an

upright position with the lower vacu- um tube on the ground to support it.

3.Place the shoulder strap over your head and onto your left shoulder.

HOW TO CONVERT UNIT FROM VACUUM USE TO BLOWER USE

1.Stop unit and unplug tile extension cord.

2.Remove the vacuum tubes and collection bag.

3.Install the inlet restrictor that was re-

moved when assembling for vacuum use.

NOTE: If you are unable to locate the inlet restrictor, the unit will still operate.

This restrictor improves the blower function.

4.Close the inlet cover and make sure it is latched closed.

5.Re-install the blower tubes. Refer to the section ATTACHING THE BLOW- ER TUBE/NOZZLE for instructions on how to attach this item.

SELECT AN EXTENSION CORD

Use only a 120 A.C. voltage supply as shown on nameplate of the unit to power your blower.

The extension cord used to reach the power source must be:

Specifically marked as suitable for out- door use. The cord must be marked

with the suffix '_#V-A"(in Canada "W").

Heavy enough to carry current from the power source the full length of ex- tension cord to the unit. Otherwise, loss of power and overheating can oc- cur causing damage to unit. Refer to

table for minimum wire gauge recom- mendations. The cord must be

marked with the proper wire gauge. (Appropriate extension cords are avail- able.) Do not use multiple cords.

In good condition. Cord insulation must be intact with no cracks or

deterioration. Plug connectors must

be undamaged. DO NOT use multiple cords.
