REMOVE THE INLET RESTRICTOR
(Some models)
An inlet restrictor is used when operating
your unit as a blower. This restrictor is not
used during vacuum operation and must
be removed during vacuum assembly.
Once the cover is opened, look for the in-
let restrictor between the door and the im-
peller.
D Remove the inlet restrictor by rotating
counterclockwise
(see illustration).
Keep this inlet restrictor for use when
using your unit as a blower later. With
the restrictor removed, the upper vacu-
um tube will twist onto the unit.
ATTACH VACUUM TUBES
S On some units an arrow on the tube and
the unit will help you align the tube be-
fore twisting clockwise.
S Some units may include locking tabs.
These tabs guide and lock the tubes
into position.
Once the upper tube is secure on the unit,
and cannot be turned clockwise further,
the lower vacuum tube may be installed
onto the upper tube.
