Internal routing
Once the exhaust hose and the flexible conduit (which contains the pneumatic tube and the
harness) have been assembled onto the robot, connect them to the hose connector at the back
of the Feather Duster. The electrical harness must be guided through the cover from the
external connector to the internal connector.
A pneumatic elbow fitting must be set within the junction connectors to connect the
inner and outer air tubes .
