Installation Notes (Remote Control Attachment)

• Form a loop in the twinline/control cord:

  • 6" away from the blast hose

  • 6" parallel to the blast hose

  • 6" back to the blast hose

• Secure the loop end with duct tape by wrapping twice around the control cord and then around the blast hose.

  • This creates a strain-relief at the first connection near the handle.

• Starting from the nozzle end, tape the control cord to the blast hose every 3 feet.
