Assembly
1. Position the lid assembly on the drum
assembly as shown (assembled
earlier).
2. Rotate both latches back onto the lid
and press the latch handles down until
flush with the drum.
3. Using the lift handle, slide the drum
onto the power base, engaging the
power base hook with the back of the
drum.
4. Lower the front of the drum onto the
power base and slide drum lock lever
to locked position to secure.
Note: This will allow the drum and power
base to create and maintain the proper
seal once the drum lock on the front has
been moved to the locked position. If the
drum has not been seated properly on
the power base, this lock will not engage
properly and the power switch may not
operate.
