Assembling the RT Blower

IMPORTANT!

This unit is equipped with a static dis- charge reduction wire. This wire helps direct static buildup into the air stream reducing the felt amount to the operator.

Assembly

1.	Place the blower upright on the ground
	or a sturdy work surface and note parts
	orientation as shown in Figure 7.
2.	Remove static wire from package and
	fix eyelet to right hand engine cover
	screw. See Figure 8.
3.	Turn the discharge tube out to a right
	angle and slip anti-static wire through
	the 102mm clamp and flexible tube.
4.	Install throttle cable holder just forward
	of the 102 mm clamp, pinching loops
	together to fit over end of flexible tube.
