Shorten Or Change Lift Tube; Mount Top Swivel - TAWI VM30 User Manual

Shorten or change lift tube

If necessary, the lift tube may be shortened or changed. First mount the top swivel, then the suction
head.

Mount top swivel

1. For VM60-80: Identify which end of the tube is the lower, reinforced part. For VM100-270 the com-
plete tube is reinforced (a).
2. Start at the top of the tube. Cut off two complete spriral windings from the end (three windings for
models VM100-270) (b).
3. Pull out the spiral carefully. Take care not to damage the neoprene.
4. Bend the spriral end so that it cannot damage the material.
5. If necessary, cut the tube for a straight edge. Leave approximately 1,5-2 cm of neoprene (approxi-
mately 5,5 cm for models VM100-270) (c).
6. Push the top swivel into the lift tube (d). At least one complete spiral winding must cover the swivel.
7. Make sure the area is clean and dust free before taping. Attach the lift tube to the swivel with at
least three layers of duct tape under each clamp (e).
8. Attach the clamp right next to, but NOT on top of the first spiral winding. Check that the clamp
position is straight before tightening (f).
9. Tighten the lift tube clamp. Refer to the table below for correct clamp torques for your model.
10. Attach the second clamp beside the first one and tighten (VM60-80: one power clamp only).
11. Cover the clamp attachment with two pieces of duct tape (15 cm) (g).
12. Pull down the rubber band to cover the clamps and duct tape. Continue to mount the suction head.
