Assemble the Detachable 
Blower for “Blowing”

This may be assembled three ways.

1. Insert the small end of one of the exten-

sion wands into the blowing port of the 
detachable blower. Insert the male-
male adapter into the extension wand 
and install the blower nozzle onto the 
male-male adapter.

- OR -

2. Insert the male-male adapter into the 

blowing port of the detachable blower. 
Connect the large end of the extension 
wand to the male-male adapter. Con-
nect the blower nozzle to the extension 
wand. If the additional reach is not 
needed, simply omit the wand, and con-

nect the blower nozzle to the male to 
male adapter.

3. The wet/dry vac may also be used for 

blowing using the seven foot hose sup-
plied with the wet/dry vac. Install the 
male/male adapter in the blowing port 
of the wet/dry vac. The male/male 
adapter will insert into the inside of the 
push button end of the vac hose. 
Assemble the hose to the male/male 
adapter and connect the blower nozzle 
to the opposite end of the hose. The 
unit is ready for blowing applications.

4. Turn the blower “ON” by toggling the 

switch in the handle of the blower to the 
“ON” position.
