TYPICAL INSTALLATION Typical in-bay installation with boom (cutting hose is mandatory when using boom). When no boom is used, simply locate hose hanger under Turbo Towel unit. Note blower must be mounted with motor axis horizontal never vertical.

Area within 2 feet of Turbo Towel must be free of any insulation so as not to impact air intake.
