Assembling the RT Blower
IMPORTANT!
This unit is equipped with a static dis-
charge 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 7.
2. Remove static wire from package and
fix eyelet to right hand engine cover
screw. See Figure 8.
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 10A and 10B.
5. Slip the flexible tube over the end of the
90° discharge tube, and secure with the
102 mm clamp.
6. Slide the throttle assembly over the swivel
tube. Do not tighten clamp at this time.
NOTE:
Check to make sure that the 90° dis-
charge 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.
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 8.
9. Grasp the nozzle, and push the nozzle
over the swivel tube locking pins secur-
ing the static wire. See Figure 9.
10. Lock the nozzle to the swivel tube by
rotating the nozzle noting the alignment
marks. See Figure 9.
11. Adjust throttle assembly for best operator
comfort and tighten two socket-head
screws.
