Step Action
1 Holding the power head angled slightly down at the back, align the square openings of the lower blower tubes and push them partially together.
2 Now, line up the opening of the power head with the vacuum tube. Then, as you push them together, make sure this locking pin aligns with the hole in the powerhead.
3 They are properly connected when you hear this tab click into place. To secure the connection, turn the locking pin in a clockwise direction.
4 Because of the safety feature that prevents the motor from running when the tube is removed, it’s important that the locking pin is screwed in all the way to finger-tight.
5 At the top of the handle there is a red LED. If this blinks, it means the locking pin hasn’t been fully tightened. If that happens, check that the pin is finger-tight until the LED goes out.
