Assembling the Blower
Place the blower upright on the ground 1. or a sturdy work surface and note parts
orientation as shown in Figure 4.
Remove static wire from package and
2. fix eyelet to right hand engine cover
screw. See Figure 5.
Turn the discharge tube out to a right
3. angle and slip anti-static wire through
the 102mm clamp and flexible tube.
Slip the flexible tube over the end of the
4. 90° discharge tube, and secure with the
102mm clamp.
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.
NOTE:
Check to make sure that the 90° discharge
tube swivels freely. If any binding is pres-
ent, loosen 102mm clamp and pull wire
towards engine to get more slack and
recheck for free movement.
Insert the static wire through the swivel 5. tube, then install and tighten the 89mm
clamp over the rotating band on the
swivel tube.
Slide the handgrip over the swivel tube
6. and secure with the bolt and wingnut.
Fold the end of the static wire back
7. over the connection of the swivel tube.
See Figure 5.
Grasp the nozzle, and push the nozzle
8. over the swivel tube locking pins secur-
ing the static wire. See Figure 6.
Lock the nozzle to the swivel tube by
9. rotating the nozzle noting the alignment
marks. See Figure 6.
