HOW TO CONVERT UNIT FROM VACUUM USE TO BLOWER USE

1.Stop unit and unplug the extension cord.

2.Remove the vacuum tubes and collection bag.

3.Install the inlet restrictor that was re- moved when assembling for vacuum

use.

5.Re-install the blower tubes. Refer to the section ATTACHING THE BLOWER TUBE AND NOZZLE for instructions on how to attach these items.

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