Assembly

Assembling tube sections

1.Place powerhead/lower tube assembly on a clean, flat surface so that both assemblies fit end to end.

The powerhead/lower tube assem- bly should be facing positioned with the locking hole in the tube end fac- ing up.

CAUTION!

Keep the open ends of the tubes clean and free of debris!

2.Slip off the protective plastic covers from the ends of both tubes, and loosen the coupler screw knob.

3.Insert the tool assembly into the coupler, with the tool decal facing up, until the line of the decal is flush with the end of the coupler.

4.Twist the tool assembly back and forth until you are sure it snaps in place by the coupler latch.

5.When the two tube halves are locked together, press down on the spring-loaded latch protector and tighten the coupler screw knob.

Optional Accessories

Strap and Hanger

Although a strap and hanger is not required for use with this unit, it is recommended to reduce operator fatigue during extended periods of opera- tion. Make sure all hooks and adjusting devices are secure. Adjust the harness shoulder strap so the shoulder pad rests comfortably on the off-side shoulder.
