1. The Handle Ring shipped in a position suitable for packaging with the Ring Clamp Bolt only partially
tightened. Rotate the Handle Ring upward but do not tighten at this time (Figure 1).
2. Locate the two (2) Bolts protruding from the Nozzle, align the two (2) holes at the end of the Handle
Bar, and add a Lock Nut on each Bolt (Figure 1). Tighten the Lock Nuts using a 1/2" wrench.
3. Thread the Support Tie through the Eyebolt and wrap it around the Hose. Pass the end through the
Ratchet Block on the end of the Support Tie (Figure 1).
4. Pull the excess Support Tie through the Ratchet Block. Leave the Tie loop slightly larger than the
diameter of the Hose. Do not over-tighten (Figure 1).
5. Cut off excess Support Tie length.
6. Standing in a normal operating position (Figure 4), adjust the Handle Ring to a comfortable location
and tighten the Handle Ring Clamp Bolt securely using a Screwdriver.
Attach the Vacuum Attachment to your Leaf and Lawn Vacuum using the following steps:
1. Disconnect the Blower Inlet Hose from your lawn deck
Hose Adapter by unhooking the two (2) Flexible Latches
(Figure 2).
2. Connect the Vacuum Attachment with attached nozzle by
aligning the Latches (Figure 3) and slipping the Vacuum
Attachment Hose into the Inlet Hose. Pull the Flexible
Latches into place (Figure 3) to secure the hoses.
3. Start the engine and adjust the throttle to Fast (Rabbit).
4. While holding the Hand Vacuum Nozzle just above the
ground at an angle, sweep the area side to side that you
wish to vacuum (Figure 4).
Tip: Hold the vacuum nozzle at a slight angle to the ground
so that it doesn’t suck right down on the ground. This
allows air to continue to flow into the nozzle while you
are vacuuming.
