ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS FOR
USING YOUR UNIT AS A VACUUM
NOTE: Assembly instructions for using
your unit as a blower is explained in
the previous section.
WARNING: Stop the unit and discon-
nect from the power source before
opening the inlet cover or attempting to
insert or remove the inlet restrictor or
vacuum tubes. The motor must be
stopped and the impeller blades no
longer turning to avoid serious injury
from the rotating blades.
NOTE: If you have already assembled
your unit for use as a blower, remove
the blower tube and nozzle.
REMOVE THE INLET RESTRICTOR
An inlet restrictor is used when using
your unit as a blower. This restrictor is
not used during vacuum use, and must
be removed during assembly for vacu-
um use.
NOTE: Be sure to keep the inlet re-
strictor for using your unit as a blower.
Open the inlet cover by inserting the
tip of a screwdriver into the inlet cover
latch area, and twisting the screwdriver
while pulling the inlet cover open.

ATTACHING THE VACUUM TUBES
There are 2 vacuum tubes, an upper

ground during vacuum use.

uum tube and on the vacuum inlet
area of the unit.

um tube into the opening. Twist the
