operator's back.
 Join the straight tube and nozzle together by aligning
raised locking tabs on straight tube with the raised locking
slots on nozzle and twist to secure.

 Assemble the connected lower tubes to the throttle
control handle tube by aligning raised locking tabs on the
throttle control handle tube with the raised locking slots
on connected lower tubes by twisting to secure.
NOTE: Check all locking connections after initial run to
ensure they are tightly secured.
 Hold the throttle cable against the bellows and install the
cable ties. Cable ties should be tight enough to retain the
throttle cable to the bellows but still allow for movement.
