Assembling The Blower - Shindaiwa EB8510 Owner's/Operator's Manual

Assembling the Blower

IMPORTANT!
This unit is equipped with a static
discharge reduction wire. This wire helps
direct static buildup into the air stream
reducing the felt amount to the operator.
1. Place the blower upright on the ground
or a sturdy work surface and note parts
orientation as shown in Figure 4.
2. Remove static wire from package and fix
eyelet to right hand engine cover screw.
See Figure 5.
3. Turn the discharge tube out to a right
angle and slip anti-static wire through
the 102mm clamp and flexible tube.
4. Install throttle cable holder just forward
of the 102 mm clamp, pinching loops
together to fit over end of flexible tube.
See Figures 6A and 6B.
5. Slip the flexible tube over the end of the
90° discharge tube, and secure with the
102 mm clamp.
NOTE:
Check to make sure that the 90° discharge
tube swivels freely. If any binding is present,
loosen 102 mm clamp and pull wire towards
engine to get more slack and recheck for
free movement.
6. Slide the throttle assembly over the
swivel tube. Do not tighten clamp at this
time.
7. Insert the static wire through the swivel
tube, then install and tighten the 89mm
clamp over the rotating band on the
swivel tube.
8. Fold the end of the static wire back over
the connection of the swivel tube.
See Figure 5.
9. Grasp the nozzle, and push the nozzle
over the swivel tube locking pins
securing the static wire. See Figure 7A.
10. Lock the nozzle to the swivel tube by
rotating the nozzle noting the alignment
marks. See Figure 7B.
11. Adjust throttle assembly for best
operator comfort and tighten two
socket-head screws.
