4 ASSEMBLY AND DISMANTLING

To assemble or dismantle the vacuum/blowing
appliance, set it down on a level and stable sur-
face.
The accessory parts are bulky. Make sure there
is sufficient space for handling the accessory
parts.
4.1

Assembly for blowing operation

Connecting the upper blower tube to the
appliance connection piece (01)
1. Align the upper [curved] blower tube (01/1) to
the appliance connection piece (01/2) so that
the spring (01/3) and groove (01/4) face each
other. The two nubs (01/5) of the upper
blower tube must point downwards.
2. Slide the upper blower tube (01/1) into the
appliance connection piece (01/2) until the
locking catch (01/6) is clearly heard to en-
gage in the appliance connection piece.
Connecting the lower blower tube to the
upper blower tube (02)
There are two types of lower blower tube:
■
With flat nozzle: Generates a flat air jet for
heavy, wet leaves and dirt
■
With round jet nozzle: Generates a round air
jet for light, dry leaves and dirt
The lower blower tube has a longitudinal groove
(02/3) with transverse grooves (02/6), (02/7) con-
nected to it. The cam (02/4) is screwed into the
front transverse groove (02/6). The rear trans-
verse groove (02/7) is not used.
1. Align the lower blower tube (02/1) to the up-
per blower tube (02/2) so that the longitudinal
groove (02/3) and the cam (02/4) face each
other.
2. Slide the lower blower tube (02/1) over the
upper blower tube (02/2) up to the end stop
ring (02/5), but not beyond. In this position,
the cam (02/4) is located exactly on the front
transverse groove (02/6).
3. Turn the lower blower tube clockwise by 90°
until it engages.

NOTE
The length of the complete tube cannot
be changed. The lower blower tube
(02/1) cannot be pushed further over the
upper blower tube than the end stop ring
(02/5), i.e. the rear transverse groove
(02/7) is not used.
4.2

Dismantling the blower tube

Detaching the lower blower tube from the
upper blower tube (03)
1. Turn the lower blower tube (03/1) anti-clock-
wise by 90°. In this position, the cam (03/2) of
the upper blower tube (03/3) is located in the
longitudinal groove (03/4).
2. Pull the lower blower tube (03/1) off the up-
per blower tube (03/3).
Removing the upper blower tube from the
appliance connection piece (04)
1. Slide the screwdriver (04/1) of the spark plug
spanner into the hole (04/2) of the locking
catch in the appliance connection piece until
the widest part of the screwdriver is under the
locking catch.
2. Turn the screwdriver by 90°; there must be
noticeable resistance. The locking catch re-
leases the upper blower tube (04/3). The
screwdriver remains inserted.
3. Pull out the upper blower tube (04/3).
4.3

Assembly for vacuum operation

Connecting the lower vacuum tube to the
upper vacuum tube (05)
1. Align the lower vacuum tube (05/1) to the up-
per vacuum tube (05/2) so that the two ar-
rows (05/3) and (05/4) face each other. The
following components face each other in this
position:
■
The cam (05/5) and the engaging
holes (05/6)
■
The groove (05/7) on the lower vacuum
tube and the cam (05/8) on the upper va-
cuum tube
2. Slide both vacuum tubes firmly together until
the following occurs:
■
The cam (05/5) engages in the engaging
holes (05/6).
■
The upper vacuum tube impacts the limit-
ing ring (05/9) of the lower vacuum tube.
