Length Of Hose Adjustment
The hoses in the following steps must be cut to fit your machine. Do not cut the hoses until you have tried to fit them
on your machine. Remember that the hoses need to be long enough to allow for the opening and closing of the
collection system as well as allowing ample clamping surface between each component.

Slide a Hose Clamp P#(J0060) / P#(J0070) over one end of the 6" or 7"Upper Hose. Secure this end of the Upper
Hose to the Blower Outlet. See Figure below for details. Secure opposite end of the Upper Hose to the Swivel Inlet.
Make sure both ends are securely fastened by tightening the Hose Clamp.
