Operation
STEP 4: Install Baffle Plate
The baffle plate, which is included only with the optional
vacuum hose, concentrates the suctioning power of the
machine into the hose by blocking the air flow
underneath the front of the machine. To install the baffle
plate, position the plate underneath the front of the deck
and snap it into place as shown in Figure 13.
Baffle Plate Removal
To remove the baffle plate, grasp the tabs on each side
of the plate, press outward, and remove the plate.
STEP 5: Remove Vacuum Inlet Cap and Install
Hose
A. Remove the vacuum inlet cap by twisting the cap
counterclockwise approximately 1/4 turn until the bar on
the cap is aligned with the arrow at the REMOVE
position. Lift the cap off the inlet opening.
Do not
misplace the vacuum inlet cap.
B. Line up the tabs on the hose with the slots in the
vacuum inlet opening and insert the hose. Turn the
hose approximately 1/4 turn clockwise until it is in the
LOCK position. See Figure 14. (The hose support
handle should now be on the top of the hose.)
C. The machine is now properly assembled for use with
the vacuum hose.
