6. Hose Attachment
NOTE: Hoses may need to be trimmed to fit. If necessary, see the Hose Trimming section at the end
of the Assembly Instructions.
Tools Required: Flat screwdriver
1. Slide one hose clamp over each end of the 54" Lower Hose. Slide one end of the hose
over the Vacuum Inlet Cover and the other end over the Boot discharge opening.
Tighten the hose clamps to secure hose in place.
2. Slide one hose clamp over each end of the 48" Upper Hose. Slide one end of the hose
over the Vacuum discharge. Slide the other end over the Container Inlet, ensuring
that the red decal on the inlet is completely covered by the hose. Tighten the hose clamps
to secure the hose.
7. Hose Trimming
Tools Required: Utility Knife
1. Carefully measure the length needed. Remember that although the hose is flexible, it will
not stretch.
2. Measure the same length on the hose that needs to be trimmed, and with the utility knife,
cut through the webbing at the proper location.
3
Continue that cut through the webbing all the way around the hose so that it finishes just
across the support coil from where the original cut was started.
4. Use the utility knife to score the support coil between the beginning and end of the web
cut. Set aside the knife, and finish breaking the coil by hand by working the scored
portion back and forth until it breaks apart.
