ASSEMBLY

WARNING:

Disconnect the spark plug wire before assembling parts. Failure to do so could result in possible serious personal injury.

ASSEMBLING THE BLOWER TUBES

See Figures 2 - 4.

��Place a clamp on blower past the raised tabs. Assemble the elbow tube onto blower by aligning raised tabs on blower with slots on elbow. Tighten clamp onto elbow.

Attach bellows onto elbow tube by placing a clamp on one end of the bellows then press bellows onto elbow tube. Tighten clamp.

Place a clamp on other end of bellows. Press bellows onto throttle control handle tube. Tighten clamp.

NOTE: The position of the throttle control handle may be adjusted for comfort after the blower is strapped onto the operator’s back.

Join the straight upper tube and nozzle together by align- ing raised locking tabs on straight upper tube with the raised locking slots on nozzle and twist to secure.

Assemble the connected lower tubes to the throttle control handle tube by aligning raised locking tabs on the throttle control handle tube with the raised locking slots on connected lower tubes by twisting to secure.

NOTE: Check all locking connections after initial run to ensure they are tightly secured.

Hold the throttle cable against the bellows and install the cable ties. Cable ties should be tight enough to retain the throttle cable to the bellows but still allow for move- ment.
