Assembly and Adjustments

Connect the Handle to the Outer Tube.
1. Position the handle on the outer tube as
shown. See Figure 3.
2. Install the mounting bracket with the
socket-head screws. Tighten the screws
finger-tight ONLY at this time.
3. Locate the handle in the best position
for operator comfort (usually about 10
inches ahead of the throttle assembly).
4. Secure the handle by alternately
tightening the four socket-head screws
in a diagonal or "criss-cross" fashion.

Installing a Tool Attachment

1. Place the unit and tool assembly on a
clean, flat surface so that both assem-
blies fit end to end.
The unit should be facing up and the
tool assembly should be positioned with
the locking hole in the tube end facing
up. See Figure 4a.
CAUTION!
Keep the open ends of the tubes
clean and free of impurities!
2. Slip off the protective covers from the
ends of both tubes, and loosen the
coupler screw knob.
3. Insert the tool assembly into the cou-
pler, with the tool decal facing up, until
the line of the decal is flush with the end
of the coupler.
4. Twist the tool back and forth until you
are sure it snaps in place by the coupler
latch. See Figure 4a.
5. When the two tube halves are locked
together, press down on the spring-
loaded latch protector and tighten the
coupler screw. See Figure 4b.
Removing a Tool Attachment
1. With the unit on a clean, flat surface,
loosen the coupler screw. The spring-
loaded coupler protector should pop up.
2. Press down on the latch with your
finger or thumb. This releases the
coupler lock. See Figure 5.
3. Pull the tool assembly out of the
coupler.
