HOW TO CONVERT UNIT FROM
VACUUM USE TO BLOWER USE
1. Stop unit and unplug tile extension
cord.
2. Remove the vacuum tubes and
collection bag.
3. Install the inlet restrictor that was re-
moved when assembling for vacu-
um use.
NOTE: If you are unable to locate the
inlet restrictor, the unit will still operate.
This restrictor improves the blower
function.
4. Close the inlet cover and make sure
it is latched closed.
5. Re-install the blower tubes. Refer to
the section ATTACHING THE BLOW-
ERTUBE/NOZZLE for instructions on
how to attach this item.
SELECT AN EXTENSION CORD
Use only a 120 A.C. voltage supply as
shown on nameplate of the unit to
power your blower.
• To reduce the risk of electrical shock,
this equipment has a polarized plug
(one blade is wider than the other) and
will require the use of a polarized ex-
tension cord. The appliance plug will
fit into a polarized extension cord only
one way. If the plug does not fit fully
into the extension cord, reverse the
plug. Ifthe plug still does not fit, obtain
a correct polarized extension cord. A
polarized extension cord will require
the use of a polarized wall outlet. This
plug will fit into the polarized wall outlet
only one way. If plug does not fit fully
into the wall outlet, reverse the plug. If
it still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician to install the proper wall out-
let. Do not change the equipment
plug, extension cord receptacle, or ex-
tension cord plug in any way.
The extension cord used to reach the
power source must be:
• Specifically marked as suitable for out-
door use. The cord must be marked
with the suffix WV-A" (in Canada "W").
• Heavy enough to carry current from
the power source the full length of ex-
tension cord to the unit. Otherwise,
loss of power and overheating can oc-
cur causing damage to unit. Refer to
table for minimum wire gauge recom-
mendations. The cord must be
marked with the proper wire gauge.
(Appropriate extension cords are avail-
able.) Do not use multiple cords.
• In good condition. Cord insulation
must be intact with no cracks or
deterioration. Plug connectors must be
undamaged. DO NOT use multiple
cords.
