Assembling the EB854 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 102 mm clamp and flex-
ible tube.
4. 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° dis-
charge tube swivels freely. If any bind-
ing is present, loosen 102mm clamp
and pull wire towards engine to get
more slack and recheck for free
movement.
5. Insert the static wire through the
swivel tube, then install and tighten
the 89 mm clamp over the rotating
band on the swivel tube.
6. Slide the handgrip over the swivel
tube and secure with the bolt and
wingnut.
7. Fold the end of the static wire back
over the connection of the swivel
tube. See Figure 5.
8. Grasp the straight tube, and push
the straight tube over the swivel
tube locking pins securing the static
wire. See Figure 6.
9. Lock the straight tube to the swivel
tube by rotating the straight tube
noting the alignment marks. See
Figure 6.
