  1. First slide the guide wheels on to the lower blower tube.
  2. Once on, pulling up this tab allows you to adjust the position of the wheels to best support the bottom of the tool.
  3. Then attach this section to the lower vacuum tube by sliding it into position until it clicks in place.
  4. With both sections upside down, slightly join the larger tubes before the top square ones.
  5. Then, work each section together until they eventually click into place, which might take a little extra muscle.
  6. Next is to connect the tube sections to the power head. Holding the power head angled slightly down at the back, align the square openings of the lower blower tubes and push them partially together.
  7. 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. They are properly connected when you hear this tab click into place. To secure the connection, turn the locking pin in a clockwise direction.
  8. 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.
  9. At the top of the handle there is this red LED. If this blinks, it means the locking pin hasn’t been fully tightened.
  10. If that happens, check that the pin is finger-tight until the LED goes out.
  11. Next is fitting the collection bag by pulling its collar over the elbow tube. Locate the slot in the front of the collar with the tab at the front of the elbow.
  12. Now, pull the bag handle up until it snaps into place at the back of the elbow. Then, clip the front of the bag on to the hook on the underside of the blower tube.
  13. Finally, connect the shoulder harness. Clip one end here on the top of the main handle and the other end at the back.
  14. The harness can be disconnected by pulling up on its quick-release tabs.
