DANGER: To avoid serious personal

the battery pack inserted is always on and

Assembling the Extendable Shaft

housing on the powerhead (Fig 6)
FIG. 6
• It is important to ensure that the internal
drive shaft is properly seated To ensure
proper seating, use a clean rag to pull the
aluminum drive shaft out from the fiberglass
pole—approximately 10 in (25 cm) Using the
rag, turn the aluminum shaft while pushing
down slightly This will allow the drive shaft to
properly seat on the shaft inside of the motor
housing The cylindrical end of the drive shaft
will be completely hidden below the rim of the
motor housing once properly seated
