Installing The Vacuuming Attachments; Removing An Attachment - Troy-Bilt 47260 Owner/Operator Manua

Operation
INSTALLING THE VACUUMING ATTACHMENTS
Your machine features a "quick-
change" mounting system that per-
mits quick and easy removal and
installation of the vacuuming at-
tachments - without tools. The
following procedures apply to all
of the vacuuming attachments.
DANGER
Rotating cutting blades will
cause serious injury.
Before removing, adjusting,
or installing a vacuuming at-
tachment, stop engine, dis-
connect spark plug wire from
spark plug, and make sure
that all moving parts have
come to a complete stop.
Removing an Attachment
1. Shut off the engine, disconnect
the spark plug wire from the
spark plug, and make sure that all
moving parts have come to a com-
plete stop.
2. Disconnect the three-pronged
connector (on end of lanyard
extending from attachment) - see
A, Figure 4-3 - from the safety in-
terlock switch (B).
3. Loosen the threaded knob (A,
Figure 4-4) on each side of the
attachment. Pivot the attachment
upward and disengage the tab (B)
from the metal rod (C) on the top
of the vacuum inlet.
Installing an Attachment
1. Loosen the threaded knob (A,
Figure 4-4) on each side of the at-
tachment.
2. Slide the attachment into the
vacuum inlet opening, tilting the
top of the attachment downward
slightly until the tab (B) fits behind
the metal rod (C) on the top of the
vacuum inlet.
3. Level the attachment and slide
it forward until the two mounting
studs engage the slots in the vac-
uum inlet. Tighten both knobs
securely.
4. Gently but firmly push the
three-pronged connector (on end of
lanyard extending from attach-
ment) onto the safety interlock
switch. (See A and B, Figure 4-3.)
The two longer prongs on the con-
nector fit on either side of the
switch button housing; the shorter
prong depresses the switch button.
IMPORTANT: The connector
and safety interlock switch must
be properly connected to allow
the Safety Interlock System to
work properly. See the "Safety
Interlock System" on Page
22.
