Installing the Vacuum Bag

1. Align the bumps on the vacuum elbow tube with the slots on the

blower outlet (Fig. 9). The flared end of the vacuum elbow tube
should point to the right.

2. Insert the vacuum elbow tube into the blower outlet (Fig. 9).
3. Twist the vacuum elbow tube clockwise until it locks into place

(Fig. 9).

4. Insert the flared end of the vacuum elbow tube approximately 4

inches (10 cm) into the vacuum bag (Fig. 10).

5. Pull the cinch strap to tighten the vacuum bag around the

vacuum elbow tube (Fig. 10). 

NOTE:

The cinch strap should be tight enough to prevent the

vacuum elbow tube from slipping out of the vacuum bag, but
loose enough for the vacuum bag to have limited movement
along the vacuum elbow tube.
