How to Assemble the Bubble Blower
STEP 1

First, assemble the fan. Mount the motor
on the gear box in such a way that the
wires point toward the lower edge of the
box. Place the cover over the motor.

Now turn the gear box over and insert the
fan wheel onto the motor shaft.

In this step, you will be installing the gear
box on the chassis. To do that, first hook
on the left side (from the perspective of
the battery compartment) of the gear
box, and then press down on the right
side until it clicks into place.
STEP 6
Attach the sliding switch to the chassis
bracket.
Important! Take a look at the terminals at
the rear. The area where no wire is
attached is the "off" position. Slide the
switch to "off."

STEP 7
Now insert the contact springs into the
chassis bracket holes, narrow end down.
