Machine Assembly
1. Locate Assembly Packet - A packet is included with vacuum and includes
two (2) 2-part bolts and two (2) cord hooks. Also included is an extra drive-
belt.
2. Attach Lower / Upper Handle - Slide the upper handle (D) and the lower
handle (E) together so the holes for the handle bolts are aligned and the
slots in the handle are positioned as shown in Figure 2. Insert a 2-part bolt
(A) in the center of the handle and fasten tightly. Position the assembled
handle (D/E) so it curves toward the operator. Push the handle into the
handle socket (F) at the rear of the cleaner. Align the holes, insert the other
2-part bolt (A) and tighten.
